I hated it there. Plucked from what I thought was a big city and thrown into the great Malaysian outback, where folks talked heavily accented Malay, and poverty is more obvious, it wasn't anything I'd seen or experienced before. There are many good things which has come out of experiencing life in East Malaysia and I'm going to list them in no particular order below.
1) The experience of living in East Malaysia allows you to absorb the culture. You can't boast of this if you've only visited the place in spurts. It doesn't work this way. The culture seeps gradually into you. East Malaysians are gracious people. They have a knack of making you feel special and welcome at any function. Their enthusiasm is infectious.
3)The illegals who make it to our shores do so in ths search of a better life.
4)In a smaller town, apart from friendlier folks, you are never allowed to feel lonely.
