July 18, 2011 (Monday)- Clark, Phil to KL, Malaysia
My first south east Asian tour has just started all the way from Diosdado Macapagl International Airport located in Clark Field, Pampanga (almost 2 hours away from Manila by bus) to Kuala Lumpur Malaysia via AirAsia. The flight started at exactly 11:45 am and we landed in KL at around 3:30 pm (almost 4 hours). This trip consisted of 9 backpackers and I'm the only guy in the group.
