Women in Malaysia Have 4 Arms, not forearms

Posted by Monica Danna on Feb 4, 2008 in travel

We are spending the next few days in the swanky conference rooms at the hotel, for the Asia Pacific Sales Meeting. I can’t make you believe how nice this hotel and staff is. The Malaysian people are all so welcoming and accommodating. It’s been a wonderful experience. Until I had to use the loo at the conference center…

Apparently, Malaysian women have four arms. Not forearms, but 4 arms. Or a life vest? Tsumani backlash? eh?

I head to the facilities to find this on the door to the ladies room:

Four Arms

After a slight giggle, I walked in to the bathroom to not such a laughing matter. Now, up until this point, everything here has been very Westernized. Even a lollypop on the bed with turn down service. So you can imagine my surprise when i walk into the stall to find this:

The KL LooYep. You are probably having the same reaction i did. “Wha? uh, huh? What do I? where do my? how do i? Uh?” For 3 solid minutes I contemplated positions. standing? squatting? crab walk? I decided on crab walk, and halfway through, though i MUST be doing this wrong. So though the laughter and pain in my wrists, i finished, and of course immediately decided this needed to be a post to share with you all.

No wonder they have four arms. They need them to use the bathroom! (I’m totally picturing a Bloggess Photoshopped pic of this, so, Jenny, have at it. )

The bathroom situation aside, the other facilities are immaculate. Not to mention I will be spending the next 2 days overlooking the Petronas Towers here:

Hopefully, I’ll make it through the next 2 days with minimal crab walks.

A Tale of 2 Towers

Posted by Monica Danna on Feb 2, 2008 in travel

So as my bruise from my spill into Singapore deepens to a dark purple on my knee, it’s hard to complain about it as I sit in my hotel room in Kuala Lumpur staring out at the spectacular Petronas Towers. After an awesome sushi lunch at the hotel, we are headed over to the towers for some looking around and shopping.

I took this pic from my hotel room, and more here of the surrounding areas. It was raining when we landed, but has turned into a bright and sunny day Hope to follow with some pics from the sky bridge of the towers.
