Back from China

As the plane touched down on LCCT I thought, tomorrow will be back to normal. And I realized how much I've missed the familiarity (just the familiarity, not Malaysia itself) - the broken English, the slow pace as opposed to the fast speed in Shanghai, the hot and humid weather, the comparatively peaceful traffic, nasi lemak, and the thought of having a good meal at home made me smile.

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.

If only the public transportation in Malaysia is as efficient, as frequent, as cheap, as reliable, as punctual, as in China, that would surely save us a lot of trouble. I mean, people in China could actually walk to the nearest subway. But in Malaysia, we have to drive to the nearest LRT station, because if we walk it'd probably take us 3 hours or more. In some places, public transportation was not accessible at all. This is just so stupid.

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. ;)
