Not completely true!!

Some things we were told in our Customs Class are not true. I think maybe the lady doing the class has not been in Kuala Lumpur in a while.

The water for one thing - nothing is wrong with the water or the ice as long as you stay in KL. We can drink from our faucet and we order ice all the time when we go out.

Second - Americans do not smile too much. Alot of people here speak and smile when they see you. Of course we do have our share of rude people but for the most part everyone is very friendly.

Clothing - we were told they don't wear black or white. Everyone wears black. Most of the employees in the hotels and the employees in the stores wear black everyday. You see other people dressed in pretty much anything.

The food is great - I have not found the food they are talking about yet. I know I have to get better at trying things but there is no way you will catch me eating some of the things I have seen. We tend to go to Chili's ALOT.

The weather - I have not found the weather to be any different here than the weather we have in Montgomery. The only thing is that the weather here never changes.
