the love hate relationship

ok..nothing mushy, nothing controversial :P

my top 10 difference (likes/ dislikes..whatever you call it) about what life is in Kuching/ Malaysia and the UK

1. In Malaysia, I live to eat
In the UK, I eat to live

2. In Malaysia, I use 4 wheels to get around
In the UK, i use my Bus 11.

3. In Malaysia, when directions tell you its a 5 minutes walk..it is a 5 minutes walk
In the UK, when directions tell you its a 5 minutes walk, well..its hard to say how long it'll take

4. In Malaysia, rm2 will get me a bowl of Kolo Mee
In the UK, £2 will get me enough meat for the week

5. In Malysia, i will manage to get a reply when i ask "What thing?"
In the UK, i will get "Huh? Whats that?"

6. In Malaysia, the la's, ma's and lo's is like the most 'English' word you will hear
In the UK, hearing it is like listening to an old friend

7. In Malaysia, having ducks in a public pond will get you roast duck at the nearest kopitiam
In the UK, ducks will breed in the pond

8. In Malaysia, thrash is thrash
In the UK, recycle or you'll be fine.

9. In Malaysia, I can't live without the aircon
In the UK, I can't live without the heater

10. In Malaysia, a painting of unclothed beings in public will be the next National Debate
