Maggi Mee.
NATIONAL EXCUSE FOR BEING LATE:
Traffic Jam.
NATIONAL CONDOM:
None.
Most Asians still feel embarrassed buying condoms. So they rushed in to a
Seven Eleven, hurriedly grab the nearest pack, any pack, pay and leave
before the cashier can even blink an eye. If it's not available, Asians
optimistically apply the other birth control method. (See below)

NATIONAL MOST MIS-PRONOUNCED NAME:
Carrefour. Sometimes even pronounced as Carry 4! On second thoughts, why bother pronouncing Peugeot, Renault or Citroen correctly. I thinks it sounds better, when the local mechanics say "Pew Jeot". When I was in school, Milo was always Mee Lo, now that I'm sophisticated, I say "My Lo". So don't be embarassed saying "Carry 4" when the Mat Sallehs shamelessly pronounce orang utan as "rangutan".
NATIONAL ROADSIDE DISTRACTION:
The Bra-less Tourist. See how heads turn and traffic slows down when a
bra-less Mat Salleh backpacker goes bouncing about on the streets.
