  • the standard cutlery used during a meal is a spoon and a fork ... you eat everything with your spoon and use it to cut ... the fork is for holding your food in place during cutting and for pushing food onto your spoon
  • there are english signs everywhere, but everything is spelled phonetically ... so you can take a skuter or a teksi to the farmasi at the shopping kompeks
  • the malay word for "water" is "air" ... so every time i check the label on what i'm eating the first ingredient is air!
  • all of the electrical outlets have little on/off switches
  • they drive on the left and are part of the british commonwealth ... who knew?!
