Siem Reap: Day One

Francesca's and my flight left at 8:30PM on Thursday night. We were flying into Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia to catch a connecting flight to Siem Reap, Cambodia. There we were going to met Wes who had flown into Kuala Lumpur the day before. It was a four hour flight from Hong Kong to Kuala Lumpur and arrived a little ahead of schedule at 12:20AM. We flew Air Asia which is a relatively new airline with almost its entire fleet being Airbus 320s. It basically had a whole terminal to itself in Kuala Lumpur which is its main hub. The terminal was pretty new (less then 10 years old) but was essentially a warehouse. There were no jet bridges. We climbed down stairs and then walk on a covered path to the arrival hall. Despite the fact that we were just transferring and not going into Kuala Lumpur we still had to go through immigration and customs. We were then outside the airport and had to walk less then 100 feet to the door to the departure hall and went back inside. Our flight to Siem Reap did not leave until 7AM so we had about six hours to kill. Francesca and I were both very tired so we decided to try to catch some sleep. The problem was there were no seats in the lobby. We had to sleep on the floor in the corner. There were a lot of other people doing this too. I don't think I slept at all since it was very noisy and bright, not to mention the tile floor.
