Oh shock, oh horror, it's raining.

Kuala Lumpur never ceases to amaze me. The city planners could not have possibly got it more wrong. For a country that rains torrentially for three quarters of the year, they have an unbelieveably bad drainage system and telecommunication services that get wiped out by the slightest shower. Think of the millions of dollars that are lost during each rainstorm, stranding hundreds of motorists (which also brings me to the point that there shouldnt BE so many cars) and cutting out thousands of phone calls, internet lines, and even electricity. Should we ever hit the next big freeze, this is one place I definitely wouldn't want to be - they can't even cope with the local weather!
