But I hope this experience will not stop you from visiting other Asia countries like ours, Philippines. I assure you that the airport staff on our country are accommodating and understanding.

Yes, we learned after being in Asia longer just how formal they are. Well, not everyone. I think that is what was to confusing. Some people would be super formal and we could tell that those situations required more respect, but then other situations people were incredibly informal and rude. We had so many people cut in front of us in lines, shove us when we were walking, push us back on the trains when we were trying to get off, be all touchy-feely with me and one guy even smacked my butt. We eventually learned body language indicators to tell us which people followed the typical Asian rules of decorum and which people were of a less traditional attitude.

I wanted to cry at one point. It was just so frustrating. Normally I let my boyfriend do the talking, too, in Asian countries, but this situation was so bizarre that I couldn’t help but interject. And then things just blew up. lol. I’m glad we made it home, too.

AirAsia’s customer service in general is pretty lacking. We ended up going to a local office in Kuala Lumpur because we couldn’t find anywhere online to contact someone. The lady pretty much told us that we’d made it home, so there was no harm done. *sigh* Oh well. While it would be nice to know that guy received a reprimand (or was fired), at least we aren’t stuck in Myanmar!
