UK vs M'sia 3

RULES IN THE UK THAT WILL NEVER APPLY IN MALAYSIA
No. 3

Ah...the weather...Easily everybody's first choice of topic. However, it's the Briton's favourite topic. Now, why is that?

UK

Cause it's exciting! You'll never know what you're gonna get. You'll wake up to a sunny sky, walk out into the rain in bikinis and lay on a field of grass wishing you hadn't just worn you woolly jumper as it seems that the clouds are gonna clear soon. Over here, your first words to your future spouse may be "Dreadful weather, innit" or "It's such a nice day today". The weatherman is never to be trusted and bbc weather is known as a complete fraud.

Malaysia
You spend one week cursing the hot weather and wishing the whole of your city is trapped in a bubble with permanent air conditioning. Then, you'll experience a breezy, cloudy week trying to ignore the massive thunderstorm cloud forming above your head. Following that, you'll get a week of non-stop rain with deafening thunders and lightning flashes that causes power-outs, causing you to swear at the weather for another week. The whole cycle repeats again, making the weatherman's job fairly easy.

UK
If you see a zebra crossing, you may cross with confidence that vehicle drivers will NOT run you down. You may even cross without looking both ways and get to the other side quite unharmed.


Malaysia

Zebra crossings apparently are invisible to drivers of any sort. In fact, rules are that human beings MUST stop for vehicles to cross or risk becoming road kill

UK vs M'sia 1

I'm gonna start a new series of blog posts with a centralised theme so I sound professional.

It's about the trivial things I think of when strutting down the pedestrian paths of London on my very lonesome. I shall call this:

RULES IN THE UK THAT WILL NEVER APPLY IN MALAYSIA
No. 1

UK
When raining, seek shelter under a sufficiently large tree. You shall remain reasonably dry.


Malaysia
When raining, avoid trees to prevent getting even MORE drenched by gigantic ping pong sized rain drops. Also, under a tree, you may be struck by lightning.
(Kids are cautioned with this fact since primary school =D)

Or maybe......
