Sleeping in Airports

Airport Adventures: Kuala Lumpur Airport

we were woken up and told to move outside as the airport building was going to be fumigated.

There are no good seats without arm rests so we clipped our bags to the fixed rows of hard plastic chairs and unrolled our sleeping mats on the floor beside them. Not a bad start you might say. Then just after midnight we were woken up and told to move outside as the airport building was going to be fumigated. We gathered up our stuff, headed outside and managed to find a decent spot to lay our heads. A couple of hours later we were again woken and told to move back inside as they were now going to fumigate the outer entrance area! We moved back to our original spot, now coughing and watery-eyed from the left-over fumigation chemicals. To top it all off the super-loud announcements started at 5am. At least the McDonalds is open 24 hours, oh yeah, except this day when it was closed for fumigation.
