- Generally, very friendly people. I have the most helpful and friendly colleagues here (generally) and I haven't yet decided if the rest of the locals realised we're not tourists anymore.
- Cheap fags and booze.
- Kittens! They are so whiny for strays.
- Not humid. Its mostly cold here because of the rain, but humidity is probably the last thing I miss about Singapore.
- Teow Soon Huat Duty Free. The local supermart 5 minutes away that has everything from food, kitchenware, 23 ringgit bathtubs, clothes, undies, booze, fags, shoes, perfume and chocolates.
- Mamat stalls. Aka prata shops. Prata here is a whole new level of crispy and basically the epitome of all pratas. (Im guessing India will be the only place that can top this).
- The laid back lifestyle.
- 24 hour KFCs
What I still need a whole lot of adapting to:
- Distance.
- Wifi. Shit wifi. Shit reception. Especially when there's a storm.
- The weather fluctuates from cold to freezing to fucking north pole within minutes.
- I know Im an intern but sometimes, people need to think better of me because there is no way I paid for 2.5 years of education specialising in hotel management for nothing.
- Slipping at work and landing on my ass. To the amusement of everyone but me.
- No trainings.
- I eat curry everyday. ):
- Wild animals. And creeps.
Basically Langkawi has been a bunch of surprises, from 1.20 ringgit nasi lemak to the animals to the amount of times Oppa Gangnam Style is played (which is too fucking much, everyone needs to stop). Albeit the cold weather, I have sufficient fuzzy moments like having someone run in the rain to get me a towel to dry off at work, skype calls and goodnight messages.
As always, I send my love and misses and I hope everyone is doing great back at home. x
あなたがいなくて寂しい
