Let me enlighten your life xp

Wow.. today i have something good to share with you instead of telling you my own story. It's very educating, so please give me a chance to enlighten your life.


Maybe you know all the brands in the world, no matter they are branded or brandless, but i'm pretty sure that not everyone knows where these brands are actually from. Right? Even like the things that we are using everyday, like toothpaste and shops that we visit often like 7-11, i don't think everyone knows right? So, i will list down the brands and origins which i knew, and their origins might probably suprise you man(just like when the time i gave all the wrong answers during my lectures)! *laugh*


1. Skoda - Czech Republic


2. Bata (buy and throw away) - Bulgaria (COol right? So bear in mind that Bata is NOT M'sia product =D)


3. Nivea - Germany (I thought it is from Indonesia or Thailand, haha)


4. BMW - Germany


5. Creative - Singapore (I thought it is from Jp at first >.>)


6. Ikea - Sweden


7. Kraft - USA


8. Lego - Denmark (Many people might thought that Lego is actually from US, well, if your answer was US, you're wrong!)


9. Nokia - Finland (Remember the other day me and tu went to have lunch at this paria meeyok stall (Paria but tasty), there were two old men talking bout phones, and i heard one of these old men said "Nokia from Japan ma.." LOL. Uncle, Nokia is from Finland leh)


10. Cathay Pacific - Hong Kong


11. Lenovo - China (Don't be suprised that Lenovo is from China, since BenQ is from Taiwan)


12. BenQ - Taiwan


13. Philips - Netherland


14. Zara - Spain (Zara's fans, do remember this as well ya)


15. Raoul - Singapore (Wow, this name sounds like sooooo Geng right? But it's from Sg actually, unbelieveable!)


16. 7-11 - US (Argh, people! 7-11 it's from US!!)


17. 1901(Hotdog) - MALAYSIA (wow, 1901 is from Malaysia by a pair of Malay Couple. Heard that the wife is a very smart lady, COOL MAN!) *I thought Malaysia burger should be only Ramly's *


18. FIAT - Italy


19. Kellogg's - US


20. Durex - US (Quality Proven one, and it is one of the Superbrands) *LOL*


21. Popular - Singapore (Sg again <.<, at first i thought it's from HK or... **it's listed on the PLC or what shares thingy la har..)


22. Shell - Royal Dutch Shell


23. Sushi King - MALAYSIA (Sushi King is hell from Malaysia by a Japanese, wow~ And the smart me knew that SushiKing is not from Japan too, but i just never expected that it is from Malaysia.. yerrr =p)


24. HSBC - UK (Although the name of it is Hongkong and Shanghai bank, but it's from UK anyway. Due to some restrictions problem or what, that's the reason why branches of HSBC in M'sia are lesser than 20)


25. Osim - Singapore (Again it's from Sg, the 'sim' is actually taken from the lastname of the owner, and the owner's name is Ron Sim)


26. Swarovski - Switzerland


27. Fishermans' Friend - UK


28. Tesco - UK (That is the reason why Tesco is so British style *but i never noticed and realised*)


29. Carlsberg - Denmark


30. Carrefour - French (Friends, Carrefours in our country look so 'so-so' only right? It's actually from French and do you know that actually the Carrefour in Korea is doing badly? Hehe.. another suprise right?


********************************************
Additional:


Friends, remember the previous blog i asked why the KFC and Mc. Donalds in Pakistan got smashed? Ok, it got smashed because they are belong to Americans Understand now? It is because before this the Americans had war with Iraq mar... Easy lo right? Ehehe..


Ok, one more question for you guys =p Why the 'King' in Nepal is no longer a King but normal citizen and people don't like him when he was still a King?? And do you know there's a country called Bhutan? The King of Bhutan is a very young fellar.. eheh~ He has transformed this country from Absolute Monarchy to Democratic Monarchy. But His beloved citizens did not want this because He is good enough. And what's the reason for this King to do so? He told that although he is good, but his next and the future generations might not be as good as him. See, how caring is this King? I'm told that the citizens did not even participate in election, not really all did not go lar, just very few of them were voted.


Yea, let's talk something that everyone likes, but i don't fancy actually. Yeah, it is Disneyland. Oh well, i will talk about this is because Disneyland is in one of my assginment questions =(. The question asks 'Why the Disneyland in London is doing bad?' How i know wor, not like i have shares there... About the Disneyland in Hongkong, i was told that the government in Hongkong spent 60% for the cost with zero benefit from Disneyland. The only reason that i can think of is the government of HK could promote its country by having this Disneyland. Other than that? What's more? Nothing wor.. not fair right? But i don't know whether there is hidden agenda between them or not lar.. hehe..


So.. i think it's enough for today lar kay? Need to ciao for a nap liao.. buEhbuehhhh~!
Another question for you guys The Top 3 fastfood restaurants in Us are?
Jiangjiang, answer will be told on the next blog, see ya!
