I asked you about experiences regarding low-cost carrier Air Asia. Nobody responded. So now – after my first two flights on AAsia I can tell you that it is better then I expected. Departures were on time, service very efficient, planes new… Well – I did not have enough space for my long legs and they did not serve even free water but it is “low cost”!
The flight from Beijing to Kuala Lumpur took me 6,5 hours and then I spent almost 2 hours on KUL- Kuching flight.
I am again in the heat of the tropics! It was 34 deg Celsius when I landed.
Kuching – the capital of Sarawak Province has no airport bus – I was forced to take “coupon taxi” for 26 ringgits to come to the town. Maney changers pay here 3,18 ringitts per 1 USD. Do not change much money in the airport – they pay less.
Wow! What a change! Today people around me greet me, they smile and all of them speak English! Lush green and flowers around… I took a walk along the river (see picture) – there is a nice promenade…
After hard night I need to recover so tomorrow I will write more about Kuching and Sarawak.
