Day 2, Monday - Dubai to Kuala Lumpur



Our arrival in Dubai for the layover was at 8:00 am. Because of the time difference, it would’ve still been Sunday in New York. The layover was so short that we basically went straight to the gate after landing to prepare for the next flight.
Our plane ride to Kuala Lumpur lasted seven hours. Even though the flight was shorter, Shiyu and Jessie agreed that the second flight left them feeling more depleted during it. Once we landed at the Kuala Lumpur International Airport and retrieved our luggage it was after 9:30 pm. The time difference is 12 hours ahead of New York. The stamp in our passport for visiting Malaysia was the first in Jessie’s new passport which was exciting. After arriving, we went to the hotel associated with KLIA, the Concorde Inn, by a shuttle that was provided. The hotel had a tranquil beautiful appearance. Each hallway of rooms was split into terminals so that they were not connected to the others. The walk between each was done on sidewalks which were placed conveniently throughout a garden type décor. The night ended by ordering room service which appealed to us because full meals of varying cultures were offered at low prices. Jessie and Dr. Andrianoff both ordered juices as well that were not from traditional fruits; they purchased star fruit juice and pink guava juice respectively.
