Well my trip to South East Asia took a typical Lucy turn as I leapt down the stairs and onto my sisters laptop plug...ouch! My grandma immediately began to freak out with the possibility of gangrene in an open wound, and it was down to mum to raid her first aid cupboard for some appropriate plasters.
As I am writing this I am sat in Kuala Lumpur LCCT Tune Hotel. That basically means I have completed the first leg of my journey; a gruelly 18 hour stint from outer Yorkshire to...well, I can see the KL LCCT airport from the window right now. This does mean, however, that I have survived not only a 12 hour flight but also the horrors of Air Asia (or Scare Asia as it should be known). I have also concluded that I am not going to die from starvation as there are an abundance of pot noodles about.
The hotel seemed rather taken aback at my request that I use my meal voucher now, not at breakfast time, and promptly whipped up some egg and tuna sandwiches. The owner's son nearly got a beating for serving me green tea, as his father demanded that he go and dig out the English Breakfast sort instead. All in all was pretty amusing.
My bedroom is really nice. I have a queen bed, AC, a lush ensuite and all the other luxuries I'm sure I will not have for the next few weeks.
Tomorrow I have to complete the ultimate mission of another flight with Scare Asia, and trying to reunite with Danny and Colin!
My first impression of S E Asia: Hot! It's 10:30pm and I'm sweating like crazy because it is 30 degrees, and even the AC isn't really helping. The people are so nice and friendly though, and I'm totally wowed by all the anime stuff and how efficient everything is.
If I can get into the packaging of my new memory card, hopefully I will be able to take and put up pictures.
Love to everyone xxx Your favourite little traveller
