So I went to the airport in Kuala Lumpur early in the morning. Actually, I wanted to take public transportation, which would have been cheaper. But another German from the hostel wanted to order a taxi anyway. So I paid a little more and had less stress.

After walking 800 m, I reached my hostel. I didn't like it. And it was, like outside, probably only 15 degrees in the rooms. Not exactly helpful for my cold. Besides, I had become a little spoiled by Thailand and Malaysia with temperatures around 30 °C.

And my first dinner in Vietnam. In the evening, I went to bed at 8:30 with a cold. It was as cold in the hostel as outside. I was not allowed to use the air conditioning as a heater, according to the hostel. At least there was a second blanket. But even with clothing and two blankets, it was still too cold.
