OK, I'm starting an 8 hour lay over in KLIA.  Hello my old friend, Golden Lounge.   I'm starting with an Americano as I need caffeine. How is that possible?  Best guess, jet leg is unavoidable.  I slept across the Pacific.  I woke up near dawn.  I'm in the same time zone having travelled only southward since HKG.  But once I got on the MH flight the energy buzz deflated.  But I couldn't sleep.  Eye mask, check.  Ear buds, tried 'em.  Headphones, tried 'em.  No sleep for the weary.

They were excited to hear of an American moving to Malaysia.  On of the FAs lives in Miri...
