We will not use Star Shuttle again. They were very rude and unprofessional.

We tried to get from Puduraya to the airport, and were put on a bus that for some reason didn’t have clearence to actually go to the airport! They did not tell us this, and left us sitting on the side of the road for 45mins and would not tell us what was going on. Absolutely shocking customer service.

The Science of ordering drinks in Malaysia
Ordering drinks is easy once you understand the system. But don't worry, in the big cities you will get by at most places speaking english, but you want to try anyway, right? After a bit of practicing you can mingle with the locals and shout "Boss. Teh Tarik. Satu Lagi."

DID YOU KNOW?
Taxis

Taxis drivers can be good and bad. It’s usually best to go by meter but some won’t turn them on unless you convince them otherwise. A short ride within the city centre of KL shouldn’t cost you more than RM10. When you arrive at KLIA make sure you go to the official taxi counter to prevent being ripped off. Same applies to the KL Sentral railway station.
