No Room to Spare - February 29

Our flight from Langkawi to Kuala Lumpur left late but was uneventful. We landed in KL after 10 pm, not having eaten dinner. As our plane for Siem Reap was leaving around 6:30 am, we had booked a cheap hotel near the airport and decided to eat at an airport concession, and then get some sleep.
After a boring meal, heavy on the rice, we took the shuttle to our hotel, one of the Tune chain. We entered our room and burst out laughing, it was literally one foot larger than the double bed on all sides. Two hangers were hanging on a hook on the wall in lieu of a closet, and a tiny TV screen perched precariously up in one corner. We had to put our luggage in the bathroom in order to get into the bed. Forsightfully we had paid extra for air conditioning, one towel, and a vanity pack which included a bar of soap and a disposable toothbrush. We set our alarm for 5:00 am and went to sleep, as there was no room to do anything else. I guess we got what we paid for, and not a centimeter more.
It didn't take long the next morning to leave the room, as we had no trouble finding the door. We made the flight with no trouble, looking forward to Siem Reap.
