Today (I started writing this post on 1st) was the first day of our official work. 8h of hard work at the office – I managed to do a lot, so afterwards I was really happy with my day. During those 8 hours that we spend in the office (5 out of 11 in the time is full time) we have a break for lunch (fortunately! :D).
So coming back to food. Have I already written that they do not use knifes in here? Malaysians usually eat with fork (left hand) and spoon (right hand). It is much easier to put rice on the spoon than eat it with a fork. Actually, when you’re eating roti (kind of an Indian pancake) you use spoon as a fork (to cut your roti into pieces). And when it comes to Chinese food it’s of course chopsticks and spoon (again, but in left hand). I have already had my first meal eaten by chopsticks and spoon and I am really proud of myself (I had to be very patient while putting the noodles on the spoon :p).
And what made me sad today/yesterday evening is that my friend left to his home country. Jai is an AIESECer from India who came here one year ago to work for Member Committee of AIESEC Malaysia (same as me now). When I came here he provided me the ‘basic guidance’ ;) especially focusing on introducing me to people I should know.
And this is how I have already met a lot of interns who stay here. But the truth is that those people who stay here for a long term MTs and TTs create small, hermetic groups . Especially EPs from one company, which hosts around 15 up to 20 AIESEC interns. So I think it might be difficult to get involved in one of them. We will see.
