From Kuala Lumpur KLIA2

It was an early flight. Some shops had yet to open for business.

First thing that caught my attention, the “digital bank”.

Accomodation

Windsor Plaza Hotel, District 5

Something went wrong with the initial booking for this trip. Spent the whole morning looking for hotel replacement. God sent a good one in District 5.

While the exterior may not seems grand, the interior is extremely well designed with a taste of elegance.

Central Palace Hotel, District 1

Hotel room is not too small for similar pricing, compared to Hong Kong.

It’s clean and warm with sunlight during day time.

View from 6th floor is moderately good.

Back To Kuala Lumpur

Saw this advertorial on the magazine inside the plane. Decided to email some photos of this trip to them.

Home sweet home, always.
