Finally I’m making my post here again! Had done some research so that my post here can be as informative as possible.

My first Europe trip ever was to Berlin. And the very first funny thing that happened to me is I can’t figure out what is the clock-wise arrow sign means! My stupidity is acceptable as I came from a country which has a weird subway design. Let me show you this.

[LEFT]One thing that you can notice here is that there is no ring road. Everything is pretty straight forward. And allow me to show you Berlin’s subway route.

[BELOW] Berlin’s LRT route. As you can see, it has a square ring road in the middle.

And actually other countries share the same concept as well. Using a ring road to join up most of the stations in the center, providing more efficient and cheap transport for the people. And after some research, I found out that Malaysia seems to be the only capital (that I know until now) that doesn’t adapt the ‘rule of the ring’.

Some others big cities are:

London - there is a square ring in the middle of the city. I’ve been there and it is quite convenient..

New York - since most of you readers came from the States and I found out that New York adapts the same concept! It is even crazier, more rings and squares! Wow!

And the BIG RING goes to - Moscow!

Now, this does explain why traveling in Malaysia is a bit hectic and not as fast as in other capitals of the world. So, if you are visiting Malaysia, don’t hesitate to drop me a mail! I can give you some good traveling tips too!
