Is Kuala Lumpur as dull as it looks?

Soldato
Fun fact, I was in Kuala Lumpa airport on the same day that Kim Yong Un's critic got killed by that young girl.
Didn't see anything though as I think I'd already passed through before it happened, it at least before it became apparent.
Another thing I remember is that I was past security and wandering around to stay awake for my transfer flight and there was a restaurant of some kind with a side door opening onto the corridor I was in. Glancing through into the kitchen I could see a row of knives and cleavers. I could have grabbed one and got onto the plane without discovery if I were so inclined.
But I wasn't

British Airways has cancelled its return to Kuala Lumpur, even though the first flights are due to depart in less than a month. We look at what's going on.

They wanted to route us out and back via Doha on Qatar airways.
However, we had paid a bit extra for Premium Economy, and Qatar airways don't have a premium economy section so it would have been a downgrade and there was no financial incentive to do this (I didn't really fancy 2x 7 hour flights in economy to be honest)
In the end they moved us to a direct return flight to Singapore instead in premium economy and then an hour long connecting flight on Malaysia Airlines to KL
over last couple of years I had 2 returns to BKK cancelled by BA, they were business class so I was more than happy when thy put us on Qatar

Well let me know what you do get up to in KL as I won't be going for about 6 weeks and also need ideas 
they have a huge bird park that’s nice for a walk around
The mandarin oriental hotel buffet dinner was pricey but great when I visited a few years ago, the food was plentiful as you’d expect but was some of the best tasting I’ve ever had

Polite.
To save face they will often keep to themselves, that way you’re not embarrassed bot beingg able to speak Japanese. Also US/western approach to things often causes irritation or discomfort to Japanese.
Having an english speaking guide can also be a good thing.
Sounds like manilla too. Local pass time is shopping. When you want to see/understand history/culture or sights … hope. although I dis land the morning of their last coup whixh made it a little more interesting.

@Rotty The Japanese have 2 sides. A work side and a after work side. They have this unwritten rule where when it is drinking, they will divulge all their secrets to you. They really let their hair down when they drink. This video explains it quite well.
