Apologies for the sideways images, EXIF data from iPhones is lost on the way into the database and during resizing

And we're back!

The flight to Seoul was a bit of a struggle. First of all this is New Year's Day, which means all Ubers can not be scheduled! Taxis can't be trusted as usual. Once I booked a taxi and the lady said the company takes no responsibility if the taxi does not arrive!

I signed up to Ola and Didi and they both did not allow for scheduled pickups.

Finally I picked Shofer, which is all about scheduled rides. Long story short, Shofer did the job (though with their own problems).

We made it in the end!

Turns out we booked for 15+15kg of checked baggage. We had to pay $140 to get our luggage checked in because it was too heavy.

Here we are at KLIA2 again. We were eating at the food court upstairs and the fire alarm went off! No one really panicked but eventually people started to file out. Fire alarm stopped during evacuation then we dashed back to our food before it was cleaned away. No explanation, no apologies. At least there's no fire!

The plane to KL was absolutely jam packed but the plane to Seoul was completely empty!

Food at the airport. Not bad, Hainanese Chicken.

Sleeping capsule hotels! Not that great value though.
