Day 1
We landed approximately 40mins early, 7.20pm KL time. The pilot announced that it was 26 degrees centigrade,but it felt hotter due to the humidity.
We got the coach which cost us 22RM each return, to get us to the LCCT (train station), the coach was air conditionned which was nice. We noticed that the Malaysians drive on the left hand side aswell and also use similar road signs to us. The coach journey was 20 minutes which took us to the Salak Tinggi station. From this station which took the train to KL Sentral station, we then changed station to get to Pensar Seni station which is where our hostel is located and took 5 minutes. We walked a few minutes to our hostel located in Jalun Tun H.S Lee Street, which was across the road (it was very easy to find). We entered our hostel and noticed guests had to take their shoes off. Helen was glad to take her big backpack off after walking through the humidity and considering she was carrying nearly one quarter of her weight on her back!
Jay sent a quick email home to family/friends to let them know we arrived safely in KL. We then got ready to go out to explore the near vicinity, China Town in Petaling Street. After some browsing, we stopped off for a couple of beers called 'Jaz' beer. After this, we went to a '7 eleven' store to stock up on water and then went back to our hostel to get some sleep to try to adjust our body clock to KL time.
The hostel we stayed at was pleasant, friendly and clean with free wifi. Our room was very basic; a bunk bed, a desk and a fan to keep us cool. We paid for 4 nights stay costing 252RM for the both of us.
