I can honestly say that I love living here... essentially many live a very good life. So in order to convince you all to come on over.. here are my top 20 reasons why you should come for a visit..
1) Multi racial- malays, chinese and indians with a healthy dose of expats...who live in relative harmony ~ racial breakouts being about once in every 15years or so....
2) we live very cheaply... [for about USD130 a month.. i rent my own apartment which is about 800sq ft].. all my ultilites comes in at an additional USD50.00
3)food is excellent, of all cultures and types ranging from agentinian steakhouses to the chinese hawker stalls... you can get a very big whole meal for about USD 1.50 and ensures that you fatten up and not neglect the hardening of arteries
4)we have all the ammenities of the western world, like internet, mobile phones- and they sometimes actually work!!
5) we have corruption - can usually bribe ourselves out of any situation from traffic tickets to god knows what...
6) we are cleaner than india, but not as clean as singapore - we can still smoke in quite a few places and throw garbage out of your car window
7) we are generally very nice to each others face... and are only hypocritical and judgemental behind each others backs
Being truly multi-racial we are incredibly cultural - it's only the taboos that we have to beware of
9) we don't have social security - makes sure that we work and aren't lazy cunts
10) we don't have any road signs that will actually direct us to where we wanna go - they will only confuse you which ensures that you REALLY get a scenic view of our beautiful country (best to get a map- tho updating them is a bitch - or maybe FIND a MFF to take you around... MFF, you perv, refers to Malaysian Friend Finder!!!)
11) we have allot of traffic jams - shows that everyone across soceity has cars
12) we flood and have monsoons - free running water everywhere
13) We have allot of sun whenever there is no monsoon - you can get heat stroke without going to the beach
14) we have great customer service - when they can understand ya, but actually we are just very accomodating as we will smile at ya /:> AND most of us speak english... or rather a form of english...
15) we have the petronas twin towers - our very own national phallic symbols
16) we make proton cars - and yes the metal is the thickness of a proton
17) our national carrier is MAS - "mana ada sistem" (roughly translated as "what system"?)
1 our hotels are some of the cheapest in the world... you can even rent them by the hour!!
19) the taxis are cheap too - if you can get one to take you ANYWHERE
20) and last but not least - it's visit malaysia year - every BLOODY YEAR!!
Yup!! i can honestly say... .... I LOVE BEING MALAYSIAN!!!
Actually i truly believe in a balance.. the balance of east and west is what we do have here... hence I do like living here and heck it is well worth a visit cos it has one thing you all don't have - ME!!!!
