Rest day then to the Airport

We have been allowed a very late check out of our apartment here at Ascott Star Hotel - 5 pm (cost free).
We had a sleep in and late breakfast and packed ready for our flight tonight to Osaka.
We have seen most of the tourist attractions in KL and, to be honest, the heat and humidity are keeping us indoors today.
We have had time to rehearse our arrival tomorrow morning at Kansai Airport (0545) and transport into Osaka by train, together with tours we have booked while we are in Osaka - so no time wasted!
Our hearts go out to the workers we have observed in Kuala Lumpur, especially the hotel workers. The hotel seem to employ so many people and they do very menial tasks repeatedly - in our view, mind-numbingly boring jobs!
I (Kerrie) had a chat with a young man waiting to greet restaurant guests. He is from Nepal on a working visa for a few months. He said he works 6 days a week and is paid 80 ringgats a day ($AUD29). He said he came to KL to save money. We are so fortunate to have been born in Australia!
We had one last swim in another pool at the hotel - this one was 50 metres, so we did a few laps.
Mas, our driver to the airport, arrived an hour earlier than expected, so there was a last minute rush to finish packing. We arrived at KL International airport too early to check in so we had our last Malaysian meal - and most importantly, a comfy chair to sit in for an hour or so.
So that's a wrap for Kuala Lumpur folks - sayonara to Malaysia and konnichiwa to Japan!Les mer
