Things i’ve noticed in/about Malaysia

• A lot of the front of house staff are men

• There are many stray cats

• The rats here are really big

• Some women wear hijabs but don’t fully cover themselves

• Lights. There are many lights

• There was a very kind young man in Onitsuka Tiger. Im glad I purchased my shoes from him

• Malaysia is home to many malls. There was a mall at almost each station

• The trains here are very New York-esque

• The trains here have womens only carriages, but there is no doors to seperate or block the view from the main carriages. (upon writing this I have realised the reason for separation is unlikely due to harassment but rather religious reasons.)

• Mango smoothies are called Mango Su Su. They also have chunks of mango in them.

• There are many waterways, or perhaps just one large water way. It is man made, and there are many bridges to compensate for pedestrians

• the city does not have much colour despite it having much light

• The trees at the park near KLCC look incredibly old and wise.

• To convert the price from RNY to AUD, you have to divide the amount by 4, and then move it one decimal point.

• There are many nationalities in KL. The food is incredibly diverse

• Street tourism is heavily targeted towards young children.

• You must be quick when crossing the road. Once the countdown finishes, the drivers (especially motorcyclists) will not wait for you

• The times for the Petronas TT is unreliable. It only showed once during a 5 day trip.

• The airport is very large. Comically so. What necessity is a H&M in an airport? Overconsumption will kill the world.

• E-SIMS are not common at the airport.

• Terminal 1 is much smaller and quieter than terminal 2.

• Satay ayam is very delicious, but the skewer sizes are very small.

• Malaysian people are very quiet

• There are many Palestinian refugees here. Especially with children and babies.
