A Malaysian Welcome

The first thing I did upon arriving in Milan airport was to look for internet access, which I found in the form of a small kiosk

I will eat your coinsss

Thankfully, I saved some coins from my last Italian trip over a year ago. So right away I updated my fb status, and emailed one of the Malaysians for his address in Sardinia. It was with this machine that I realised how quickly time passes scrolling through facebook. I spent 5 euroes doing all that.

I love Italian coins

With all my luggages, I stopped at a nearby cafe hoping they have wifi, and decided to order something so I can sit there. They had lots of croissants and pastries.

 And I had coffee, croissants, and pastries too.

What I had

Only thing the coffee was from them, everything else was food from the flight. Lady at counter kept staring at me. So I gobbled down and left.

Upon arriving in Sardinia, Mario, a guy from the University’s student network greeted me. Thank God for him. No picture of him, didn’t want to be rude taking a picture upon first encounter.

So Mario brought me to the apartment where some of the Malaysians lived. I crashed with them in their room, and for dinner, we had a Malaysian feast. Consisting of :

A Sambal Sotong

Assorted Veges and Prawns

Rice(Arabic)!

Some good tasting corn bubur chacha

And a little dab of Italian pasta by one of their Italian housemates

Couldn't have expected more from the Malaysians than such a warm welcome. The folks include;

These peeps love to cook. They found some arabian shops that sells the spices we have in Malaysia. Genius! Not much homesickness after all.

Apparently the Italians don’t enjoy the Malaysian dishes and finds them unhealthy. Must be the oil and seasonings that makes them tasty.

The night view from their apartment. Yes, there’s a McDonalds in walking distance. McD here in Sardinia not doing too well. Heard there’s plans to close down. And there I was hoping I could land a part time job there.

Tomorrow : To the beach!
