Chris Callahan moved from Perth in Australia to Malaysia to work a few years ago and told the BBC how he felt about the move. Callahan explained that upon arriving, he found he could get away with anything as ‘the locals see you as weird, you’re fascinating to them.’ Callahan explained that the guards banned his dog when they changed his apartment as dogs are seen as unclean in many Islamic cultures. Callahan responded by telling the guards that it was not a dog and they were too confused to do anything.
