Destination: Malaysia part 1 - Arrival

Actually below activities was done on 9 October 2010.....
Let's imagine going back at that time...

This is my first time to go to Malaysia. Arrive in KLIA (Kuala Lumpur International Airport) on Saturday.
My training schedule is monday morning. I arrived two days before because I want to see MotoGP at Sepang. Yeeaay... Based on news analysis, my favorite Lorenzo will be the world champion if he could get best three on this race and I will see that moment live.

First thing to buy in KLIA was SIM Card for my phone. My old SIM card couldn't be used here, so sorry when it said on Telkomsel slogan "Begitu dekat begitu nyata (so close so real)". Aah.. you're so far and so unreal now.. Hehehe... Then I buy TuneTalk for 5 RM with balance inside about 3 RM. Very reasonable price.
I can speak now, but I realize that my stomach was speak to me too. I am looking around and found restaurant called Asian taste. Maybe I should try the food there. I try Nasi Lemak and it costs 8 RM. The taste was good but I don't like the place. It is not neat.



7.30 p.m local time, I was confused about the route of this country and how could I use the local transportation. This is my mistake not to learn it before I came here. I rely only on my aunt that live in Malaka but when I contact her, she was not at home. I start to ask about how to use taxi in KLIA airport to one of taxi driver there.
"Excuse me Sir, could you take me to the nearest hotel to Sepang?" I asked,
"Oh... Sure.. But first you should buy a ticket on that location" He answered and pointing to some location in front of me.
"OK thanks" I said,
It's a little bit complicated compare to Indonesia. In Indonesia if you want to book a taxi just get in to the car and say what direction need to be taken. I buy ticket for 50 RM.. with direction to the nearest hotel to Sepang.

Some of famous hotel was booked because so many foreigner came to Malaysia to watch MotoGP event. After circling around I reach Allson Klana Hotel at Putra Nilai district and I am lucky because there is a room available. So I stay there for a night.
Planning for tomorrow: Sepang circuit...
