I chose this plan because the mosque was included in the itinerary, but I didn't go. I think I heard something in English in the car on the way back, but I didn't really understand it. The departure time was also changed, so we didn't have enough time to see the Sky Mirror. I was looking forward to seeing both the mosque and the Sky Mirror, so it was a bit disappointing. The cruise was fun.
I disembarked at Terminal 1 and needed to take the Airport Rail Link to Terminal 2, which was a bit inconvenient. However, the SIM card installation process went smoothly, and I could access the internet without roaming. I could also make unlimited local calls, making it very convenient to book various trips. But sometimes the signal would suddenly drop completely, only to automatically return to normal after a second or two, which was a bit strange. This also happened at the hotel (which is a little far from the city center in Kuala Lumpur)! But the signal was perfectly normal in other cities like Malacca.
Today's itinerary was with our tour guide, Xiao Lai. He drove very smoothly and was very friendly. He provided detailed explanations along the way and helped us take many photos. The trip was very enriching and enjoyable, and we had a great experience!
