Different Cultures....


When i came to Adelaide,Australia...
I expected a certain higher mentality...
High empathic senses & Sensetive about others...

Clearly i have learned that it depends on people...
Not places that shaped someone's mentality...
Come to think about it...
I met people in KL with higher empahtic values then Malaysian here..
I am not saying i am that good...I myself as a human make mistakes...
It is more of a personal experiences that shaped an individual..
To be more empathic, To be more aware about others and To be more knowledgeable...

After few days spending with international students in Campus..
I reliased a major differences between them and others...

They are more open, empathic and willing to exchange views and thought...
I was with couple of Aussies,Arab, French,Indian and one from Denmark...
Lovely group we created...

Definately different, Some of them tried so their best to speak fluent English..
I ,myself not a good English speaker but atleast i can see their effort to encourage a common speaking language within the group...

One of the topic that strikes me was the language dicussion...
I asked Rouden..
'Hey man, Does Dane People strict with their Language usage back in Denmark"
"Dan..English is the way to go when you communicating with people whom x speak our language...It is consider to be very rude if you speak a foreign language infornt of other people...."
Rafidi came in the group chat agreeing with that statement...
Ending up everybody in the networking group agree about that point....

What he said ..does make sense....and when you think about it...
Yes...It is rude actually...
But it has already a cultural thing among Malaysian i guess..

Just accept the people for whom they are...
Speak a common language which everyone can understand...

That i believe can be the 1st step for unity in Malaysia
