Since it is such a long way into town, why not take the express–err, ekspres–train?

My ID: 6:33pm, Sunday, 28 August 2005: Kuala Lumpur International Airport
Cathay Pacific flight CX721 from Hong Kong
My Initial Descent into Malaysia, via Kuala Lumpur International Airport (like so many others), had me thinking the entire country was a lush, green bed of palm trees. As far as I could see into the distance, rows and rows of palm trees, seemingly planned and organized. I had expected a tropical paradise of sorts, and my first impression was exactly that. And as KLIA is one of the most beautifully designed airports in the world, featuring large glass panels and atriums with more palm trees, that impression continued until long after I had arrived.
