with Finland Teachers
Adjusting to Malaysian life Coming from cold Finland to the heat of Malaysia was quite a shock! The air is really humid and hot but you get used to it pretty fast. It is good that they have air conditions everywhere so it is not too overwhelming. Sunshine is great! J The food is really different from the Finnish food. Everything is sweet and sour here and we are use to have salt in our food. The food is also really spicy. I think I couldn’t get used to the food, well eventually yes! J I like that here people have long dinners. Traffic is right-sided and here it’s left so it’s quite funny at least at the beginning. Traffic here is also really hectic and sometimes even mad compared to Finland. People here are really friendly and talkative and I noticed that education is really important here so people are ambitious also. People has been really nice to me and made everything to make me feel comfortable, especially the family where am I staying with. The house is pretty much the same that we have in Finland, at least inside, Of course the architect is different and especially flat-houses are much higher in here in Malaysia. The sights are really interesting and really different from Finland. Malaysia is like the Philippines the time is very close Malaysia is advance about 5 minutes. The humidity is quite hotter than the Philippines. The sunshine is very long than in the Philippines. It’s is not dark in seven o clock but in our country it is very dark. The race of the is very hot. The food is something different from Filipino food. Everything in here is very spicy and sour and I am used to tropical food. I think can prefer to eat something sweet than spicy but I like their sweets and juice. Traffic is quite fancy because in our country it very long and very noisy because you must wait for long time because of the traffic. The cars are different because in our country it is left-handed and there are all air-conditioned. People in here are very friendly, helpful and talkative. The house in here is pretty and colorful. The spots are very beautiful and clean you will be amazed in a very strange place cause there very attractive in our eyes. The place is very tall and you must walk or take an elevator to go in your destination .
