Greetings From Malaysia!

Hello everyone!

Greetings from the land of good food and good shopping but scary driving!

I arrived safe and sound in Malaysia on Friday at 11.55am (20 mins earlier than scheduled even though we lifted of 15 mins later than scheduled). I must say, I am quite impressed with Air Asia’s flight. Its the first time I’ve sat in an Air Asia plane all the way from Perth to KL and it was pretty pleasant. Apart from the little kid sitting next to me who was elbowing me most of the way and the people that kept hitting my head while they walked past me. Small price to pay for such a cheap flight. The food that was served was pretty decent too. I opted for the nasi lemak on board, prepurchased so that I had 20% off the price and I must tell you its probably the best airplane food I’ve ever tasted in my life. And that is saying a lot since I’ve always flown MAS and this is my first time on board a budget airline.

I’ve spent nearly a week here already and time seems to have flown by so quick. Its really scary. I’ve eaten more than my share of food, and shopped (though I’d consider that very very conservative shopping.. Its strange even though things are dirt cheap here). I’ve been driven around by my dad (thanks dad! :)) and I must say, I don’t think I can ever drive here again. Roads are so congested and road rules practically don’t exist. People somehow follow an unwritten set of rules and somehow emerge fine, not counting that when accidents happen its usually fatal or really major crash.

I’ve got lots of things to blog about when I get back to Perth, but for now its time to spend the last 2 days with my family. I’ve got lots of TV to catch up on and lots more food to eat. So long for now, I’ll be back to Perth in 3 days!
