I found this writing on my Odesk. I am writing na pala before pa. It was so disappointing that I didn't continue it. This is dated last 2011 when I had my adventure in Malaysia. I miss this place so much. I had a lot of adventures there and I hope I started blogging back then.

It’s been 1 month and 9 days since I’ve
stayed here in Malaysia Malaysia
is one of the conservative asia country that I
know. Knowing that the people here consist of mostly Muslims. And I've been
really grateful that my mom spent money for me to be able to be here hehehe
(masarap talaga kapag libre). Here are some of my experiences. :)
- There are no enough public transportation. Being a Filipino I am used in riding jeepney’s or tricyles but here they only have taxi’s and buses. Aside from the LRT’s, KTM and MONORAIL. Bus drivers here are well disciplined, they will not stop anywhere but to every bus stop signs with police or without police. But sometimes it’s very hard to wait for a bus it will take you hours.
- In riding the bus, (aside
from the Metro bus) we used a “touch ‘N go” card. Where you can top up of any
amount for your fare. Before (like my mom said) they just pay 1RM-2RM. But now

- Famous foods here are very spicy. Like “nasi lemak” (silent k) which consist of a rice, peanut, cucumber and red spicy sauce. It was folded on a paper.
- Another example is “asam laksa” asam means sour or salty laksa means the noodles. It taste good but I can not eat it all because it was so spicy when you put the sauce.
- That’s why I usually cooked my own food. But I loved the street foods like the chicken barbeque with a peanut sauce and fresh cucumber its called “satay"
- You can distinguish who are Filipino’s and who are not. Filipino’s are very noisy. :)
- Malaysia is mostly consist of Muslims and in every public place women are separated from men.
- When you enter a house you should remove your shoes.
- Backpacker’s (mostly Americans who always walked with their big backpacks) loved this country. They are almost everywhere. They loved to walked and always had their maps on their hands. Because they feel safe here.
- The main tourist attraction
was the “
- Some of the Malay language are similar to Ilocano’s dialect and Tagalog.
- There are no big billboards in the highways.
- They have a very clean air. Kulangot mu ay white! Yay!
There you go, that was my experiences so far. (because it’s so late I can’ think of anything anymore). I am still into conquering this beautiful country of
