Asia, 1st day Asturias-London-Kuala Lumpur

After a great sleeping recovering from 3 days in the SU Oviedo I woka up at 9am before the filght at 15:00 to London Stansted.
I packed and ate before the long trip and my grandfather picked me up at home at 13:00and he brought me to the Asturias airport.
Alex arrived at the same time as me and we started queing.The flight London was nothing special and everything was expected.
The arrival was at 15:50 local time and our next flight to Kuala Lumpur was at 1:25, so, as you all know, we had to wait in the airportuntil that time.Patience, some food prepared by my mother, some ice cream and some reading were our weapons to kill the long period of timethat was among us and the next flight to the Southeast Asia.
The plane which was about to welcome us, was completely different talking about dimension.It was an Airbus 330-300 with 4 engines and 3 rows of people. (The rows in the sides were with 2 rows and the one in the middle was with 4)
This was actually a tough flight.11 since we took offand 6 of them were for sleeping
We had just 2 sandwiches left and no water.Being on a plane it seems normal that we could buy some water and food to the cabin crew, but they told us that we needed Ameriacan dollars, Sterlings or Ringgits from Malaysia if we'd like to put some food in our starving mouths...So, no water, food or anything similar during 11 hours of flight.It was great!
But finally we arrived to KL (like they say) at 20:45, always local time, completely at night and with 29 degrees C and a horrible humidity.We withdrawed some money and we looked for a place to drink and eat.While going through the airport we saw some people in couples getting off from a bus (seems normal), but they were with handcuffs.
We finally got a place where we ate chicken, fryied egg followed by ice creams (2 in my case), bedore going to find a place to sleep in the airport, waiting for our next flight at 6:50 to Kota Kinabalu,where our CS friend was was waiting for us.
Written after dinner and before to sleep in the dinner place.
