Locked in KL International Airport

Since returning to work last year, nearly everything has some incidents.

In my last trip to Bangkok, when I flew back, something hillarious happened. After landed in KLIA, when all of us rushed up the escalator to the arrival floor, we found that we were trapped behind a locked door.

More and more people jammed up behind the door, and the escalator kept sending more people. The small room soon was packed with travelers. The escalator is one-way, so we couldn't go anywhere else.

Some passengers knocked the glass door, hopefully the passed by security guards could notice us. Well, they did, but they just nodded and walked away (??!!). As it was late at night, the airport was quite empty and quiet, no other people noticed us. Everyone was upset and angry.

Finally, a young boy, about 9 or 10 years, saw us while he was licking his ice cream. His jaw dropped, eye widely opened, and then started laughing - as if looking at a bunch of idiots in a zoo.
And the laugh somehow infected all of us. We started to find this funny and all laughing out loud. Ya, now we are the animals in a cage for you to watch and laugh. (isn't it better than angry feeling?)

Of course, finally the door was opened and we left the claustrophobic room. Well, an experience that we can talk about, not bad!
