These short essays blend information and anecdote, flights of fancy and slices of careful observation as Lydia Teh chronicles the quirks and eccentricities of contemporary urban life in Malaysia. Written with affection and humour, the book covers an enormous range of topics from MRT (Malaysian Rubber Time), the etiquette of kissing in public, and advice on how to gainfully spend your time tin traffic jams to decorating tips for the interior of your car and how to make sure your kids erasers don’t go astray. Locals will find themselves between the pages for sure. Great fun!
