stalkersToday has been pretty freaky.People stare at you funnily just by the way you dress as though they have never seen the way people dress before.It's weird how we have to adapt with such behaviours.Men act so desperate as if they've never seen women before(i can't blame them since the population is only 800k and there is 70% more men than women)...sadly,women are mostly wrapped up and unable to reveal any part of their body except their eyes.It seems that it has become a norm to be seen in "abayas".So to us,where everythin is different and we do not attempt to practise their culture,people always think we're philipinos(putting us in second class as workers)but we always convince them that we're malaysians and we don't work in their country.I guess this needs getting used to.
Let me explain a few very interesting situations.
1. Strangers you meet for the first time will invite you to their house for tea/meals/etc just out of courtesy or decency.
2. Men honked when they see women on streets (just coz they dont see women that often)but i think it's pretty rude
3. Men randomly give you their numbers hoping you will call them back
For example: Someone working at the departmental store was showing me a few dresses,asked for our number just so he can tell us about the sale but instead want more malaysian contacts so we can be his tour guide in malaysia if that makes any sense(weirdo)
4. Men offer to give you a ride in their car(making a U-turn and stopping in front of you) just so they can get to know you better or would like to try at least.
5. Women stare at other women who aren't dressed more "decently"
6. Drivers here are insane,they cut lanes without putting signal and not only do they drive massive cars,they intimidate others and its scarier than in malaysia.
Maybe these are just the very few events that has been happening here but lol,so far havent got into any trouble which is good...i dun think ppl here are as bad and indecent to do anything to us...further updates later:)
