My experience in Malayansia A reflective declareIts not easy to leave your state of origin and to placate down in another country where you are a visitor but my experience in staying Malaysia is incredible. Malaysia is one of the about beautiful and entrancing tourism destinations of South East Asia. Malaysia comprises out two parts, Peninsular Malaysia, which is fit(p) between Thailand in the north and capital of Singapore in the south, and the two provinces Sabah and Sarawak, located on Borneo. It has a prosperous history courting back to the thirteenth century moreover it was a busy port for Europeans and far trades for many hundred years.

La ter in 1963 after the fusion of Singapore Sarawak and Sabah into a central union in which Malacca was called Malaysia. It is surprising to cope that the Diversity of races, religions and cultures is an important characteristic of Malaysians. As moving from past to twenty-first century Malaysia is a modern city with shopping mall, cinemas, international hotels and corpus bucks everywhere. Knowing the brief history behind Malaysia after 4 hours academic session on plane I arrived into Kuala Lumpur which is the capital and the largest city in Malaysia. I was greeted by a member of a staff who then latterly took me off to hostel that night. Next morning I was warmly greeted and met the residual of the international students. It was a great day meeting them because I was adroit to meet some of my collides who stayed with me in Srilanka. Accommodation costs are comparatively cheaper away from the city so as i moved into an flat tire about 5-8 minutes walk from campus. At the campu s there were rich frame of backgrounds, nationalities and cultures. Accommodating a community of 40% international students, studying at the Malaysia Campus is a great way to meet people from across the globe, delay about their cultures and communicate people about your own. Being in a newly expanded campus most of the facilities were new, Wireless network, library with latest collections of books, pure lecture hall with new computer and projector and also the shuttle s bring out out were amazing. The courses and teaching methods were not very contrastive from what i subscribe learnt in my country. When it comes to intellectual nourishment Malaysia food is a mix of Indian, Chinese, Burmese and tralatitious Malay style. As for now I used to have my lunch, dinner in cafeteria. Sometimes when i get sick of the campus food I would scarcely go to the restaurants nearby because there are number of menial theater style restaurants that offer delicious food at low prices. essay o ut the Malaysians national dish Nasi lemak which is served with steamed rice, coconut milk, curry sniveller or beef, fried anchovies and sambal was totally different when comes to the taste of red rice and curry.As a Sri Lankan student in Malaysia I wasnt matt-up out of business office because Malaysian culture is so way identical to srilankan traditions. On top of that, there are many places of interests in country such as beaches, islands and rain down forest where you could fresh out from stress.Malaysias rain forest is deliberated as the oldest in the world so as the largest rush of the world, Rafflesia, is found in the rainforest of Malaysia. The diverse species of animals and plant life slip away to enthuse a great deal.As a student to Malaysia, I discovered a wide range of customs and practices, some of which is different from what i practiced at my country. With different mix of races, religions and cultures Malaysians celebrate strain of festivals such as Chinese New Year, Hari Raya Puasa, ThaiPusasm, Deepavali and Christmas.
