Pyra~pyra--->Egypt! 2nd part:Watakwan!

2nd part.

Germany
-->Egypt(transit)-->Malaysia!

G-Follow the traffic light.Seriously,they take the lights seriously.Once,there was a young German boy who crossed an empty road, and he was looked down by an elderly woman who was waiting the light to change.Her eyes were like,"Sampah masyarakat!"
E-The lights are not obeyed.Totally ignored..In fact,traffic lights are hardly seen.Hmm.Maybe they took them down.
M-Traffic lights are obeyed.Less or so.."Lampu kuning!Pecut!"

G-Drivers let pedestrian cross the road.If there is no traffic light at junctions,pedestrian just march on,expecting any car to stop..Honestly it took me a while to accustom myself.Plus I think it is dangerous.Camna klau pemandu x nmpk?
E-Dream on,cars don't stop.People cross the road like playing pacman.3 lives to spare.
M-In certain isolated,excluded circumstances does the driver stop to let pedestrian cross.At least there's no pacman.

G-Owh sun.Please give me sun.
E-Owh hot!Wateeerrr..
M-Hot?poyo la ko.br setahun oversea dh kerek.

G-Cepat2 lari!Lagi 2 minit.
The public transport is punctual as..punctual as a German?
If it says 3.01 pm,most likely it won't be there at 3.02.
E-Cepat2 lari!
Sometimes you have to run to ride a bus.They don't stop.
M-Smua org ada keta-Everybody has a car.

G-Hari2 kebab.Nak benda lain plak.
Very hard to find halal food,except kebab.Except fish that is.
E-Halal food everywhere.Also careful of diarrhea!
M-Haven of food.Ahhh..

G-Shopping is a bit bore?
Tiada tawar menawar.
Once my friend wanted to buy pendants:
"How much?"(in German)
"one for €2.Buy five,free one."
"Buy ten?"
"Buy ten,free two," answered the shopkeeper with such perfect common sense.
-.-
Bagi la 3,kan?
E-There's two price for everything.The 1st price is for casual observance,but if you ask the 2nd price,then you are showing interest to buy,or risk to be harassed.
M-Cincai la tauke,seploh dah la.

Naturally there are more.
Anyway,I feel these differences are things that made travelling exciting.
Japan,ich komme!
