Backpacking in Luxury- Part 2 Catching the Bus

Well KL was nice. Much cooler then expected. Went to the Petronas towers, did the touristy thing and took some pictures, then we rushed off to  catch our bus. We had bought the tickets early and had them in hand as we rushed to the temporary bus platform at the new, temporary bus station. Imagine a parking lot. A large one. Now fill it with a lot of buses and a few large tents that the bus companies set up sales tents in. That was the station. As the bus stated to pull away, I jumped in front of it and waved down the driver, holding the tickets high. We boarded and away  we went. The trip was mostly fine and we had no real problems until trying to leave the country. Remember folks, always get a arrival and departure card, be you arriving by plain, train, bus or boat. We didn't get or ask for one upon entering Malaysia and this slowed us down when we were leaving, but worse we didn't get an arriving card for Singapore. This slowed us down so much that by the time we filled them out,made it through immigration and found our bus, we were able to read the licence plate on the back as it left us there... (Beware of Transnational) Luckily we had our bags, and with them our tickets, and with the tickets, and another bus driver of the same company taking pity on us, we made it into the city with a bus all to ourselves.
