Actually Petaling Street is very scary. All the vendors there are so freaky because they will call after you if you so much as glance at their items. If you take a step forward to their shop, they will start to put that particular item in a plastic bag for you already. Besides, it is so boring. They sell the same things! Every 3 to 4 shops and you get a repeat. It is just fake branded shirts, ugly cheap watches, dvds, fake branded bags and then fake branded shoes. The quality of the things just screams, "FROM PETALING STREET, UGH" and they are selling it at such high prices!! I can get similiar items(obviously not branded ones) for so much cheaper!

So what's all this rave about cheap things from Petaling Street? They have a starting price of RM200 for a 'designer bag' that at a glance people will immediately know it is from Petaling Street. If you are a person who needs to accessorise with OTT branded goods, you'll obviously be buying the real McCoy rather than bluffing yourself and the people around you with those degrading things. If you can't afford the designer bags, obviously you're someone who has no need for designer bags. And the t-shirts? HELLO. RM40 for a t-shirt? Why is that cheap again? IT'S NOT EVEN REAL!!

Petaling Street is only appealing for people who have never seen cheap things in their lives before. I've been to Sunway Pyramid, Malacca, Midvalley, Sg.Wang etc etc and I've seen things that I want for so much less, so it just really spoils it for me when I visit that sauna we call Petaling Street.

By the way, it is a dumb idea to put that green thing above our heads. Doesn't it resemble a green house? It does have the green house effect by the way.

Besides the stuffiness of the place, sliding limbs with other shoppers and stupid stingy hawkers, there are a few snippets of conversations that we managed to catch along the way.

There was a vendor who was making small talk with a customer. He asked the foreigner, "So where are you from, sir?" The customer replied cooly, "From a very poor country."

I was walking by this stall and one of the vendors timidly said, "er, m-mis-ss a-a-r.." and was cut off by the laughter of his other vendor friends and they shouted at him, "Hahaha, lei hai kom ngai ge meh?"(Hahaha, you call out like that wan ar?) Sort of like a trainee vendor I should think. Do they even have to go through training?!

Sigh. Dear Malaysians, if you have excess money to spend, don't bother going back there. Not worth the sweat, literally. Just let our tourists be wowed by it. You want cheap things? Come to me, I'll show you where.

Earlier in the day, I brought them to KLCC and towards the end of our trip, my Aunty Ping wanted to check out Aseana.

Aseana is a VEP(Very Expensive Place). I hate VEPs! It makes me feel very sad.

They had this rack selling 70% and 80% discounted clothes. Obviously you'll feel happy right when you see such discounts?
