broad daylight robbery

do you know what's broad daylight robbery? I'll explain.

  1. you withdraw RM100 from your HSBC bank account.
  2. then you make your way to Sunway Pyramid.
  3. touch your touch and go card at the car park entrance.
  4. exchange glares with other cars fighting for that same parking spot you've been patiently waiting for.
  5. take 4 exciting escalators ride down from CP6 parking to the mall.
  6. then get forced to go round in large circles to take another 3 thrilling escalator rides down to the nearest money changer.
  7. hand him your RM100 you've withdrawn, asking for aussie dollars.
  8. he returns you $37.
  9. now that's excluding your parking charges and petrol.
ok, maybe I got a little carried away with the story telling. but it's seriously no joke, things here in Malaysia is still very affordable.
