Rat Watch Update - The China Town Rat

November 16, 2006

Rat Watch Report November 2006

Malaysia:1 (Kuala Lumpur)

It's an early strike for Malaysia as a huge monster of a rat is sighted in the China Town District.

It's only my second day in the country, Malaysia and the capital, Kuala Lumpur didn't disappoint. Not one of the other countries have struck on their "Rat Ratio" so early on. Not to be out done by Hong Kong, Kuala Lumpur I suspect has its far share of rodents.

I was innocently walking back through China Town after restocking on some cheap T-Shirts and underwear when out of the shadows pounced probably the largest rat I have ever seen. He was brown with a long yet pale tail. Around the food vendors he ran, keeping his fat but long body close to the pavement as he dodged the puddles and hid under one food stall (Probably his favorite.). It came as a complete shock to me and I'm still reeling from it now.
