I completed hotel checkout and left my bags behind, then conveniently right around the corner was a movie cinema. I think I've mentioned this at least once before, probably in KL last year, but somehow these Asian countries take forever to sell movie tickets. I don't know what the problem is, but each transaction seems to take minutes instead of seconds.
The two main options I had given the time available in the morning were Lucy and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. I didn't know much about either but since TMNT was starting first I went with that. The ticket price was good, less than $10 for the morning sessions every day. The movie only deserves one sentence - absolutely horrible, 2 out of 10, and that's being generous.
I collected my bags from the hotel and was off to Taiwan Taoyuan airport. There was very little to do there, but I only had an hour to waste. I had a whole row to myself on the plane and somehow I even managed to fully stretch out my legs under the seats in front, so the flight was terrific and I still felt pretty fresh after four hours. I did have a bit of neck pain start up, but that was just a minor inconvenience compared with my usual problems.
I got into KLIA2 (KL international airport terminal 2) in the early evening and it was about as crap as I expected from my last time departing KL. There was almost nothing around, and most of that was before the security check. I hate the way they have the security and liquids check at KL so deep into the terminal, after all the shops, so you can't get any drinks through to your boarding gate. The one or two shops that did exist after the security check either accepted only KL currency or had a high minimum transaction to use credit cards.
