We are a country come very late when all other super nations already established their strong cultures. For instance, the influence of Manchester United and other football clubs of Europe are the latest culture. Other influences like Hollywood movies, Islamic of Middle-East, Hong Kong movies, Taiwanese movies, Japanese fashion, American fast food and Coffee, skyscrapers and many more are today Orang KL punya culture lah. Gambling is another culture. If you like gambling, the best and only place to go is Genting Highland Casino. Besides Genting Casino, MAGNUM, Sports TOTO and 3D the 4-digits are the only gambling games. These 4-digits cultures are becoming part of our daily activities especially for addicted gamblers. I will tell you some interesting facts here. Whenever you see something with four digits for examples a car was hit by a motorcycle from the back and if you happen to walk pass to witness such happenings, that means you must quickly memorize the car's number plate, why? Hey it's money my friend, you will strike first prize of RM3000.00 That's our 4-digits culture. If you are a tourist, please remember public gamblings, prostitutions, porno videos or magazines, alcoholic drinks, ganjas and many more are illegals but don't worry, more yet to be explored.

In Malaysia especially Kuala Lumpur and most big cities, the trend of hair coloring is almost 50-50. This is a big influential trend almost acceptable by any up-to-date city dwellers men and women, boys and girls and whosoever. We couldn't trace the origin of the trend but we can see so many peoples with colorful hairstyles. So I am sure this has to be included in VT local custom tip. This photo is not Malaysia girls, they are tourists with natural light colorful hairs growing on their head. Please follow my tips to see Malaysian of colorful hairstyles in hot trend.

Here are three local Malaysian young girls in golden haistyles. This is a photo taken from Bintang Walk, this area especially has so many colorful hairstyles to see. I was there eating my lunch and after walking back to the parking, I just simply click my camera and I found so many local Malaysians in golden hairs.

In front of Maybank Bintang Walk has a wide open space where many pedestrians crossing roads, this is the best location for photographers to capture the most beautiful moment of street peoples Kuala Lumpur. Each time I come here I saw not me alone but somebody else also standing here waiting to capture something with much bigger cameras.

This woman is almost look-alike European from her back view but when you walk front, you will be surprised that she is a non-exotic home grown muddy estuaristic local punya orwang, but wait, she may have own a passport somewhere faraway, so I could be wrong to claim she is a non-exotic individual.

In a photo I snap from simply anywhere in Bukit Bintang area, I found almost every locals have a colorful hairstyle. Some very obvious some less, this local custom is very heat trendy in Kuala Lumpur. The trend came some 6 years back or more. From what I know, local Malaysians have to bleach the original black hair fisrt step, choose your favourite color (normally golden red with highlight), cost you around RM150 depends on customers' demand. Almost any hair saloons provide this service, if you want to be next.
