Oh Pasar Malam..

Today is Sunday and here in the wonderful town of mine, today is Pasar Malam day. Pasar Malam, a once in a week affair that stages a part of Malaysiana no tourism advertisment can ever get right. You have to be there to fully grasp it and who can deny that fact? It's here where you can fight variety of food in epic proportion, even some which you had never seen before. It's where you can see true multicultural-ness of the country with all sort of etnic groups brushing shoulders against another etnic group. If this are to happen anywhere else, expect some bloodshed to follow.

Nevertheless, cultural harmony aside.. Pasar Malam can be a great place to see Malaysian's attitude at their worse. You get to see them selfishly batter through other people through the narrow alleys, you get to see irresponsible parents who don't give a damn about their kids running around bocking other people's way, you get to see Malaysin drivers park their car heedlessly without a single thought of other people as well as rude drivers who cilok other people's parking though the other guy already gave signal to go into that spot.. it's almost to the level of frustration if you ask me.

When people say you can get everything at Pasar Malam, they really mean it I guess..
