We left the apartment by using the Grab app and ordering a driver who whisked up to the airport. We always forget flying in SE Asia is hassle-free; whereas nowadays in most places in the world, it is an enormous pain. We left DPS in Bali early, flew nearly three hours, and arrived at KUL early. Of course not having to adjust to a different time zone helped to make things seem seamless.
After arriving and getting a SIM, we waited about 15 minutes at immigration. I love this country for how easy it is to come and go. Our passports are always stamped for three months, but if one flies to a nearby place and back, that can easily be made into a half a year.
We took an express train from the airport to KL Sentral. From there, it was a short Grab ride to the Maytower building. We met Anthony, our host, in the hotel lobby and he brought us up to the 18th floor and our home for the next three months!
I think this may be my favourite city in the whole world. It is well developed, multi-ethnic, and reasonably priced. A huge supermarket is literally across the street. We went there to stock up on a few basics.
It was dark by the time we came out. The days vary very little here. We're not very far north of the equator.
