How I Have Been Made To Feel Welcome Since My Arrival

1.  The faculty at my host institution invited me to play badminton with them after work one night.  I did go, and man, those guys were good!

2.  A different colleague invited me to her hometown for the Hari Raya Haji holiday.  I accepted and that's where I had my experience trying durian.

3.  Two  other colleagues invite me to have lunch with them regularly.

4.  I went and had a beer and amazing philosophical conversations with yet another different colleague one night.

5.  Another ELF has invited me to stay with her anytime I'm in her region.

6.  Yet another colleague has agreed to walk with me in the park mornings before work.

7.  The ETAs (English Teaching Assistant)  in Besut were amazingly hospitable and generous to me the weekend I was in Terengganu.
