This is really funny stuff. Quite apt.Of course there is some stereotyping involved. And on Sundays the streets in London,Paris or Berlin are as crowded as in Tokyo or Shanghai.
I have always loved these icons. I think they are extremly cute and true!
Interesting observations. Think you're spot on.
Hi Ecky,
This is fun and remarkably accurate! Thanks for sharing.
I created a follow-up to this: Orang Indonesia vs. Bule ;)
That is so cool!!!! I loved looking at these :) "what's trendy" was hilarious :) I can relate and see many of these ideals as I'm Chinese living in a western society. Very cool post!
A friend sent that to me as well, ages ago. It's so true isn't it??
Especially the one where Asian tend to "avoid" the problem, rather than facing it.
For example the flood.Instead of solving the problem and finding ways to prevent it, people and government choose to find ways to avoid or "ngakalin" banjir.
SPOT ON!!! As an Asian married to a Westerner, I can identify with so many of the icons!
Referring to things like queue when waiting has changed for so many places. Kuala Lumpur is one of them, far unlike Penang. People there queue for the buses, the LRTs, the trains, the monorails and even for a ride! It's the opposite in Penang!
Hope you're back up to speed soon. With the blog now repaired and a batrep to complete... pathfinders normal service should resume.logo design
