I studied at Mara University of Technology in Malaysia for 1 month during summer holiday. The purpose I went to Malaysia was to study botany which I was interested in and to play brass-band.

Brass-band event I joined

I read some theses to learn fundamentals of lotus and other plants. I also had experiments of growing lotus.

I had a tour of Chemical research offices at MARA University of Technology, and visited University Putra. Malaysian teachers and students took me to check lotus in nature and got some samples.

What I was the most surprised at in Malaysia was sense of time management. They were not punctual and they changed plans in last minutes. I had hard time to handle it.

I made efforts to communicate with people daily. I was O.K. to make basic conversations in English, but my English was not good enough to express my thoughts easily and I was not happy about that. Malaysian used Malay as expected, so people translated into English for me.

I researched in the office every day from 9 am to 5 pm and played brass band from 8 pm to 11 pm. It was busy but I enjoyed the life. My life there was rich like Maccha.
