KL Is Rude

I had just finished watching the Spain vs. Saudi Arabia match quite a while ago. Spain didn't play as well as they did in the past two matches. A little sloppy this time but they still won 1-0! I would conclude from all 3 of Spain's matches that Fernando Torres is an excellent player. He had already scored 3 goals in 2 matches against Ukraine and Tunisia. Well, Raul, David Villa and a few more are good too. Spain's been really progresing well so far in the World Cup so I really hope they at least get to the semi-finals. I'm expecting a clash with footie-giants Brazil.

Escaping the World Cup phenomenon, we the people of KL received shocking (not so shocking to me) news that Kuala Lumpur's been rated the 3rd rudest city in a survey of 35 major cities around the world. I must say that this survey thing is kind of biased since the three tests they conducted were whether shopkeepers said “thank you” after a small purchase, dropping papers to see if anyone helped to pick them up and holding a door long enough so that it does not slam in a person’s face. Although I must agree that KL-ites are rather rude especially in certain ghettho-ish places like Bukit Bintang, Chow Kit or Petaling Street for example.

The least rudest capital believe it or not is the ever so grand Donald Trump-ish, New York City. How can this be when its filled with slums and hobos living in dark alleys. It may just be the silly American charm .. lol. The rudest capital on the other hand is Mumbai in India. That's believable since the people would probably be too poor to show any courtesy. Lesson learnt from this - Malaysians or Kl-ites in particular must say 'thank you', help people pick up papers and hold the door for people . Haha .. Full list here.

Before I forget, there was also this 14 year old boy from Johor Bharu who was reportedly missing and was later found in Subang Jaya selling pirated VCD's. He apparently took up this job to pay up a RM 400 debt he owed through playing computer games .. sad. Didn't he know its illegal ??
