Views from the KLIA viewing area

OK. On the recent April 1-12 me and wife went for a trip to conduct the umrah, ritual visit to the Muslim holy house of Kaaba in Mecca. Today I'm starting a series on it in my main blogspot CATATAN SI MERAH SILU. As usual this blogspot and another one will be used to make supporting stories...


So there we were on Monday 1st April 2013 at the KLIA (Kuala Lumpur International Airport) waiting for the plane to get us to Saudi Arabia where lies Mecca. But it is not a direct trip to Mecca, rather we have to go to Jeddah first and then visit the city of Madina. To kill time we went around the terminal including the viewing area. It's been a while since any of us step foot here.


Being here reminded me of the time when I was an excited kid watching planes land and take-off from the Subang airport much nearer to the city of Kuala Lumpur.


The state-off-the-art KLIA is many times bigger that Subang and the area covered seems to go on forever...
