Family Journey Through Asia

Welcome to The Visa Run! April 18, 2018 Our three months are almost up.  I booked an apartment in Bangkok, Thailand for March 29-31, 2018. At 1:00 p.m. on March 29th, we packed our backpacks and headed downstairs to the mall.  The girls picked up a waffle before heading to the airport.  We stopped by the information desk and asked the kind man to call a taxi for us because I couldn't get the Uber app to work. The taxi arrived fifteen minutes later, and we were on our way.    We arrived at KLIA2 around 2:00 p.m.  The trip costs 40 ringgits ($10) for four people. The check-in process was simple.  You either go to the self-check-in kiosk or the counter.  I tried the self-check-in method, but it didn't work.  After receiving our boarding passes, we went through two security scanners without any problems and then we were off to the gate lodge.   The process was less than an hour.  Our flight was due for takeoff at 4:2...

Welcome to The Mesa Hills! Around 1:45 p.m. on February 1, 2018, two taxis dropped us off at the North entrance of Mesamall in Nilai, Malaysia.  After dropping 150 RM/ringgits ($38.01) in one of the driver's hand, we set off to meet the owner's father, who was tasked to lead us to the place we would spend the next month; a two bedroom, one bath, apartment with a mountain view. All located over Mesamall .  After getting everything settled, I wanted to rush downstairs to the mall which offered a blessed grocery store.  For an hour, we walked around but didn't find anything exciting.  The reason could be that the mall is still new and not fully occupied.  Although the mall is not what we expected, it is still an excellent place to hang out. Like the other places, this one did not come without its own set of problems.  On the second day, the toilet wouldn't flush thoroughly, but the host sent someone over within a couple of hours to fix the problem....
