Malaysia: 10 Tips for Living in Malaysia:

comdoc, you apparently don't like Malaysia very much, hope your time there is short! I don't like Malaysia very much either, but for other reasons - I just hate hot, humid climates. Very odd that I married a kampung girl (or that she married me! We live in Oregon and the poor woman wears a down coat around the house in the winter!). But I do like the Malay people. You think "loudspeaker noise from mosques" is something, how about the kampung roosters going off before the muezzin does the adh?n. I don't know what this "24 hours" is your talking about, the adhan is called 5 times daily? It just fades into the background if your allowed to (I wasn't). "Aggressive drivers of all races whose behavior would get them fined or arrested in any Western country." I first met my wife here in the US and I let her drive - scared the hell out of me. But in Malaysia, her driving seemed so normal and just right. A perfect Malay driver! A stop sign - Just a suggestion! Lines on the road - only if your inclined! Single lane - more can fit, come on lah! Yep, the smoking is horrible, everybody does it, there is no consideration. Oh wait, I'm talking about here in Oregon. None of my wife's family smokes. Her mom fries some damn good ayam though.
