After having a hearty dinner at home on Monday night, we -my parents, elder sister and I- rushed straight to the Kuala Lumpur International Airport. Neither of us nor our relatives were going overseas or outstation. So what were we actually rushing to the airport for? You wonder..
Since the year of 2005, I have been hosting Japanese Youth Exchangees (YE). This year, as usual, I'm hosting once again. As the Lions Club Youth Exchange Program is getting a negative feedback annually, I suppose, the number of YEs that are allowed to come to Malaysia is gradually decreasing, as if there are quotas set. The same situation is as well faced by our fellow Malaysian YEs.
Anyway, the Japanese girl I'm hosting came from a town called Nanno located in the Gifu prefecture. Her name is Yuka Miura. It is undeniable that her English is fabulous for a Japanese student as she understands what we are saying excellently. Body language and dictionary are of seldom use. I'm glad.
It was Monday night when we picked her up at the KLIA airport. She was so excited and worked up when she saw us that she was speechless for a moment. Soon after we arrived home, we brought her out to the Kayu in SS2 to satisfy her empty stomach and to quench her thirst. There, she tried the delicious and crispy Roti Canai, Tosai and Naan. And of course, the never-to-miss Teh Tarik. She was amused by the way those Rotis are made. She has not tasted Roti Tissue and Nasi Briyani though.
On the following morning, we woke up early and brought her to Pasar Pagi.
Tasting some Jack Fruits~
Surprisingly, she doesn't think it smells but she hates the taste of it.
Me teaching her how to play Congkak.
