I started to salute my brother, who had gotten very used to the life in Shanghai. It wasn't as easy as I had thought, to get used to a city where people walk faster than you, and some of them spit on the floor. And the food tasted so... weird. And I found it difficult to understand what the people say when they talk real fast. Well, money and self-satisfaction are some important driving forces I guess.
The plane delayed 1.5 hours so we reached Malaysia at about 9pm. We took the free shuttle bus from LCCT to Salak Tinggi station and from there depart to KL Central by the KLIA Transit.
First time on a KLIA Transit. Totally empty.
Reaching home at 11pm with an empty stomach was not a good feeling. After dinner and TV I went straight to bed and fell soundly asleep without a single dream...
P.S. My next few posts will be about my trip to Shanghai and Hangzhou. Looking forward to it. ;)

Your description of Shanghai is very much what it's like to live here in New York City. I walk very, very fast and get annoyed at all the slow-poke tourists around! :) And, yes, it only takes me 5 minutes to walk from my home to the train station. And only 1 minute from the station to my office. Very convenient.
I've never been to Shanghai before, but Beijing is even worse than what you describe. Crazy crowded traffic, especially on the public buses. And it seems like EVERYBODY spits on the ground there.
I can't wait to read your trip report on Hangzhou/Shanghai!
I'm one of the slow-poke tourists haha... no matter how hard I try I can't keep up with the locals. As for the traffic, I seriously salute the taxi and bus drivers' skills. They can miss other vehicles by centimeters. Whenever there were slow-poke drivers they blare their honk like nobody's business. Lolz.
Must be Nice experience - So lucky - It's good to witness first-hand spitting on wide-scale basis though LOL - jz joking :)
looking forward for more posts...
see you had an eventful trip..
