OMFG... I love this country !!!
3 reasons... cheap, cheaper and cheapest !
with a strong OZ dollar, I'm happy~ happy~ joy~ joy~
the score? spending what is essentially (approximately anyway) Chris 3 vs Local Shopkeepers 1
Yea~
Anyway...
I was walking about the city, and the place is so friggin~ cheap
walk and eat and walk and eat and walk an eat summore
roadside stalls ROCK !!!
you know, they have stuff on sticks like fishballs and squid
not to mention the deep fried stuff like prawn crackers, mMmMMm... oily~
and... and... AND... RM1 herbal teas !!!
Sold only on roadside carts.
Now in disposable cups ! @_@
They no longer sell drinks in plastic bags tied with string and complimentary straw, heh~
I really hope I don't put on any extra~neous weight
it's not like my midsection is all that slim&trim
specifics? I was in/out & about the Sungai Wang area
but nowhere near the expensive side that is Bintang Walk tho'
the place has changed a whole heap since I was last back in Feb '05
the general area and its surrounding vicinity has cleaned up
the air-conditioning inside - OMFG!!! - works now...
I learnt something new though...
Jalan Bukit Bintang is actually very historical to Malaysia
the first highrise in KL and the first classy~ hotel is situated there
the FEDERAL HOTEL owned by the Low Yat Group
opened it's doors in 1957 to cater to the need for Tunku Abdul Rahman to entertain his dignitaries
I stand and pay my respects. Salute~
c'mon... even Muhammad Ali had a boxing match there in 1972.
How is that for trivia?!?
but some things stay the same...
the seafood crowd is still out and about with their golden bleached hair, cheap clothes, tacky fashion sense and oversexed~ g/fs
la~ la~
I had a good laugh then... I am still laughing now !
what is inside? heh~
funny sound~ing brand names like ROMP, VGFX and XOXO
the clothes are (by my taste) very trashy, as the locals do fashion
I tend to stick to my slacker Levi&Converse
but there are a few gems
like cheap Adidas Superstar 2Ks for abt RM280
and there was this really cool Converse limited edition Chuck Taylors... but they got the size all wrong
but, seriously, BUYER BEWARE !!!
the Adidas 35th Aniversary Superstars for RM69?
They are RIPOFFS
and, the DVDs and PS2 games there...
no way in Auvergne (some region in France. heh!) are they the genuine articles.
welcome all to Asia, the land of piracy~
I always tell my intl' friends to bulk up on these cheap&nasty DVDs and pirated software before returning home.
But in no way do I condone piracy in its many varied shapes or forms. *winks*
- BUT -
I just about had enough of the food though.
Am currently experiencing the pain of unclean foodstuffs bought off the streetside
and a recurrent bout of sore throat >_<
WTH did I eat the day before?
I think it really is the weather
no matter the ammount of H2O I consume, the heat still slays me
I'm gonna stay indoors tomorrow and abuse my air-conditioning.
There is PS2 to be played~
