Day +341 : I am not from KL, and this car is not mine

I am fine today.

Last Tuesday, just before we started our journey from Malacca to Port Dickson, we had WanTan Mee (云吞面) for lunch. The Mee was so oily that it made us dizzy after consuming it.

On the way from Malacca to Port Dickson, we saw a lot of fruit stalls on the road side. As we normally craved for juicy fruits after eating oily food, we stopped at some stalls to enquire the price of some of the fruits. We found out that the price ‘quoted’ was very high – higher than the price in KL. This was really beyond our expectation. A kg of Mangosteen cost RM5 to RM7 while in KL, we could get 3kg at RM10.

We suspected one of the reasons that they ‘quote’ the price so high was because they saw us driving a big car, and thus assumed that we were rich people from KL.

Next time, before we asked for the price, we should tell them, “I am not from KL, and this car is not mine.” Hopefully with this, they will lower the price accordingly :-)

See you next post :-)
