Studying the Malaysian Railway System
I’m flying to Malaysia tomorrow to speak at FOSS.my and hey, until ten minutes ago I didn’t even bother finding out how to get to the hotel from the Kuala Lumpur International Airport.
Originally I was hoping for a courtesy shuttle from the airport to the hotel since the hotel looks fairly upclass or just grab a taxi. The problem is that there is no courtesy shuttle and I don’t know how and what to instruct the taxi driver. Sure, a printout of Google Maps could help but I didn’t feel too comfortable about it.
So, after searching for ways to get to Mid Valley (where I’m staying) it turns out theres a fancy Train Station there which I can get to by first getting on the KLIA Ekspres from the International Airport to KL Sentral and transfer on to Rawang-Seremban Line, where Mid Valley is the next station.
I think I’ll give this route a try tomorrow and needless to say, I’m going to print this entry and carry it with me. Programmers love to solve problems and finding your way to the hotel in a country that you’ve never been to and can’t speak the language seems to be no exception. Totally looking forward to this mini adventure :)
