KL's new airport

surpasses my expectations

The frustrating sweatbox

Replaced by

a sleek modern mall

Convenience at your fingertips

Ethan's mood brightens

Airport buses run downtown

at all hours.

Boarding,

everyone holds tickets

But us.

Run off to buy them?

Afraid to lose our spot,

We wait wallets in hand.

The driver includes us

in the Chinese group.

Phew, homebound!

Our walk,

Past Moorish arches,

Red Chinese lanterns,

Closing markets,

Confirms monorail closed early.

Hindu holiday

A quick cab ride later,

Our hostel awaits.

Backpacker staff checks us in.

Light from neon signs

seeps through thin curtains

24 hour city.
