As I was waiting to meet a friend in KLCC today I had one of those moments when you realise that Malaysia, and KL in particular is unlike anywhere else. The blending of different cultures is evident everywhere. MAC cosmetics were doing a promotion, one that I truly hope is only happening in Asia, involving Barbie. Dressed in tacky blonde wigs, high heels and bright pink lipstick a range of Malay and Chinese assistants (both male and female) were doing makeovers. Whilst that in itself was interesting enough it was the tudong (Malay headscarf) wearing woman, covered pretty much everywhere but her face, being made up to look like Barbie, and to top it off singing along to the "I'm a Barbie girl" song.
It is being filed in the mental memory banks as one of those 'Malaysia truly Asia' moments. You have to love KL!
