== Gas stations ==
You can usually find tasty cheap meals for about 2 or 3 euro, and thus don't need to carry a lot of food, if any at all. Cold showers, a real treat in the hot climate, are often available free of charge.
== Number Plates ==
It can come handy to know where the car goes before asking, at a petrol station for exemple. Malaysian [[licence plates]] are generally black with white letters and Numbers. The pattern is XXX-9999 or XXX-999. The first letter indicates which state the car comes from:
* A = [[Perak]] (Capital:[[Ipoh]])
* P = [[Pinang]] ([[Georgetown]])
* W = [[Kuala Lumpur]]
* B = [[Selangor]]
* J = [[Johor]] ([[Johor Bahru]])
* M = [[Malacca]]
* N = [[Negeri Sembilan]]
* R = [[Perlis]]
* K = [[Kedah]]
* D = [[Kelantan]] ([[Kota Bahru]])
* T = [[Terengganu]]
* C = [[Pahang]]
* KV = [[Langkawi]] (an island in the north-west)
* Q = [[Sarawak]]
* S = [[Sabah]]. Those states are in eastern Malaysia. If you see a plate with S as a first letter in Peninsular (West) Malaysia, chances are the car is from [[Singapore]]
* L = [[Labuan]]
* H = Local Taxi
A list can be found on wikipedia : [[wikipedia:Vehicle registration plates of Malaysia]]
