I had a window seat during my flight from Hanoi to Kuala Lumpur, and the partial cloudiness offered interesting views of the landscapes across Vietnam, Laos, Thailand, and Malaysia.

I arrived in KL on a hot but mostly clear afternoon, experiencing a brief 30-minute thunderstorm shortly after. I’m staying in an apartment in Bukit Bintang which is in the city center. Despite it also being busy, I immediately felt at home here in KL.
