During our “Malaysian Night” with Jia Uei, we were told that we should be tough and don’t expect someone to approach you and offering help. It is 99.99% impossible here in Germany. So it is really crucial that we improve our German language skills and must be independent.
Unlike in Malaysia, we would approach foreigners or tourists from other countries and offering help. Our “friendliness” is especially felt by caucasions. This is why tourists’ impression about Malaysians are always something in the list below:
Top 3 answers to the question: MALAYSIANS are..?
1. Oh, Malaysian? They are friendly.
2. People of Malaysia? Helpful!! Haha!! (Hello? What’s so funny about that?)
3. Oh, you mean the people of the country near Singapore and Thailand? Ow.. They are so warm. (Er… Do you mean the weather?)
So, how “unfriendly” are Germans? Well, maybe they were right about the 99.99% thing. But I was so lucky today to meet the remaining 0.01% today.
So, we were walking on the train platform today after coming back from Oberhausen today. There was suddenly a “warm” voice from my right side asking in German: So, woher kommt ihr? Thailand? Japan? China? (Translation: So, where are you from? Thailand? Japan? China?)
I was so shocked that someone is really approaching us and asking question. Well, the 0.01% is just beside me,
so I was considering myself lucky and answered: Nein, wir kommen aus Malaysia. (Translation: No, we are from Malaysia.)
0.01%: Ach so, Formula Eins? (Translation: Oh, Formula One?) (At last, efforts of Malaysian government are not wasted..)
Me: Ja. (Translation: Yes)
And so we started our conversation but it lasted for just few seconds
as he started to ask me back: Do you know Thailand?
I was thinking inside: Of cause I know. And then 0.01% and his friend started giving us some real fact about Germans that is kept unknown to the world.
Well, they told us their plan to fly to Thailand this coming summer for “Fucking Trip“. Yes, the words “Fucking Trip” popped out of their very own mouth. LOL..
So, from our conversation, we know the facts that Germans are:
1. Stupid. Only want to make fun and fuck. (0.01%’s opinion, not mine, don’t sue me..)
2. Willing to fly across the globe to get Thai girls.
3. Friendly enough to share their “interesting experience”.
And in the end, we were lucky enough because our destinations are not the same. So, sad enough, we have to apart and before that, they took their chance to wish us: Have a good day!
Ow… how friendly and sweet is that..
We will miss you guys.. NOT!
