Jalan Jalan

Walking down the streets of Malaysia, you can't help but read all of the signs.I love reading the name of streets. They surely do have interesting names for streets. Like this one in Johor, called 'Kolam Air' which could either mean puddle, or a pond or a swimming pool.

What can you find when you’re walking down the streets in Malaysia? Besides weird street names.
I notice if I walk anywhere down the streets, I will most likely end up at a fruit stall. I am a big fruit lover, and Malaysia is a tropical country with many fruits.
And to be honest, streets of Malaysia are quite pretty to walk along at night --with the lights, and the smell of the musky air. It’s quite nice.

Streets of Malaysia does have its own uniqueness.
You can almost always get what you want in just one walk. At the right places of course.
Example, walk around Jalan Masjid India.
You'll get clothes, then you can stop to eat, and there's a nearby mall you can go to. All in that stretch of street. Awesome right?

And because of our rich culture, you can almost say that Malaysia's streets are one of a kind. Indian shops, with the uncle outside playing checkers. And the hindi music blaring at the background. It is quite nice to listen to, gets your body moving. I did once saw a foreigner danced to a hindi song while she was passing through the shop. Haha :D
Or the chinese shops, yes the play checkers as well. And they'd sell you all the herbal and traditional medicines, which smells unpleasant but is very good for you.
The malay shop, they don't play checkers but they just sit outside and try to lure you in. And the food's always good.

Talking about foods, the variety of food Malaysia has is incredible. Like no other place in the world!
I love sharing and introducing new foods to my foreign friends. It's life changing for them! Haha.

I believe that, to know a country, you have to walk along the streets and taste the food. And in Malaysia, any street you stumble upon, there will be food! So, Malaysia is a great country. :D
