So i have been here almost three months (wow time has flown by) and here are a few things I have come to notice...
I will be updating this list but here is the start!
There is excessive use of the word “lah” in everyday vocabulary, similar to how we use "like".
There is a KFC on every corner (chicken and rice not chip/fries)
Rice and/or noodles are eaten at every meal
Sugar
is in all hot beverages! Good luck finding a coffee or tea without it
and be prepared to endure weird looks when you try and get a coffee
without it! Even when you ask for milk, it's condensed milk
Having
blonde hair and white skin is rare, especially where the office is but
this lack of Westerners applies to most places. Everyone loves to say
hello, honk, wave ect. I feel like a celebrity and probably the closest I
will ever get to being famous. So in true celebrity style I put on my
over sized sunglasses and headphones and try and smile at everyone.
Everyone for the most part speaks really good English
The country is soccer/football crazy; the English Premier League is huge
Buns
are very popular with all different sweet and savory filling varieties.
My favorite remains a warm bun with coconut (I still have cravings for
it!).
Not everyone indicates this makes crossing at roundabouts very hard!
There are more than 60 sub-ethnic groups in Sabah and Sarawak, all proud of their ethnicity
The food and variety of food always amaze me. Seafood is always a win
Karaoke is very popular! Maybe one day I might be brave to sing a few songs
