Tired as we are, we had no choice but to wake up at 3:30 AM as we got ready to leave KL. After checking out of our guesthouse (and failing to leave a fat tip for Kuya bc of a mix up =.=), we hailed 2 cabs to take us to the Sky Bus Terminal at KL Sentral. If you booked flights via AirAsia, the Sky Bus is probably the cheapest and fastest way to get to the airport. Plus you can conveniently avail it through their website right after booking your flights.
We got to KLIA's LCC Terminal around 4:30 AM and went straight to the check-in counters. LCCT reminds me a lot of NAIA's Domestic Terminal - chaotic but only bigger. After check-in, we had breakfast at the nearby Café Espresso before boarding the plane. And good thing, we did! The distance from the boarding area to the plane was definitely the longest I had to walk in my entire traveling life. Whew! Mala-Revenge of the Mummy.
The flight was only an hour long - parang MNL-KBO lang. Upon landing at Siem Reap International Airport around 7:50 AM, we were greeted by traditional-looking buildings which showcases Cambodia's culture and architecture. Cool! I suggest all other international airports follow suit.
As we exited the airport building (after going through immigration of course, but not customs because it was nowhere to be found o_O), we easily spotted our host. He was the one with a huge smile on his face and a sign that says "Mr. Karl Mopia and friends." He was obviously a very happy (naturally happy, I hope, but more on that later!) and friendly person. He even gave us bits of trivia about everything we passed by. And if that isn't cool enough for you, he's a huge Manny Pacquiao fan! He was gushing as he talked about him and even asked if Manny currently lives in the Philippines. Haha How amusing!
