Women in Malaysia Have 4 Arms, not forearms
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:
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:
Yep. 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.
