DJ Do you go around waving a big flag? If you just act like a normal human being (not a Yank :-) ) then you should be OK. I have never felt threatened in KL (or anywhere else in Malaysia for that matter) even during the days when the Prime Minister was railing against Australia. Gerrit - Oz |

Americans are beloved here in KL (as well as everywhere else except the graduate student lounge at certain European universities). Be sensible about how you carry your camera (in a bag that's not easy to grab) and you will have nothing to worry about. Also, just as a bit of sociology trivia, people don't steal cameras because they hate the nationality of the camera's owner. miguel -- Hit The Road!

Please, the Americans are hated thing is nothing more but a propaganda
the mass media is launching to terrorize the world. U.S.A. citizens are affraid to travel, while foreign citizens are affraid that they might get the negative percussions (loss in tourism, loss in reputation, and so on) because they are labeled as anti-American. In other words, we know who is really the terror organizations out there. As for carrying an expensive camera. Well... In K.L. and also everywhere else, the secret is to not let people know that you're carrying something valueable. Another way is somehow to make the camera and you somehow into one, if someone decided to take your camera, he/she also have to take you along with it. |
