Moving beyond borders....

Sometimes, culture can be a very funny thing. I remember my sister telling a story of how a culture clash happened in the US with her. As you know, over here in cinemas, the seats are numbered so hence, if you go in a group of friends to the movies, I'm sure whoever arrives first buys all the tickets at one go so you can all sit together. However, in the US, seats are NOT numbered and so one time my sister arrived and bought two tickets only to realize that her friend also went up to buy his own ticket. Over here you buy tickets in a roll. Over there you buy your own ticket.

Culture clash can happen in a place as near as KL and Penang too. I remember bringing Chai Ann to Penang and she had never heard of Tau Kuah. I'm not sure if that's culture clash or if that's Chai Ann being typical Chai Ann though. Wont put too much stock into it. :P

I feel compelled to point out that I wrote my Robert Pattinson letter BEFORE he announced that he reads blogs and thousands of other letters started popping out. Not that it matters cause mine still rocks.

I'm such a loser...
