I went to Malaysia for training. It was a great experience to me. I know that Asian people are very hospitable, but I saw something else in Malaysia.
Those people they don't care about the others, they don’t look at your face and they don’t smile. I thought that’s, because I looked like Malaysian-Indian. But it was not the case. They are too busy of doing their work. And their life style is same every day, and they don’t want to change also.
As I couldn’t speak their language I have to talk to them in English, as soon as I started in English they realize that I’m a foreigner. Then they start to treat you like a king.
I went to china town, it was nice experience. All my friends warn me not to bargain any price if you don’t want to buy. But I wanted to try, I tried yes it was true. I started bargain and when we come to a agreeable price, I said no now I lost my interest. Oh….my god this guy change his face to a Devil and started scolding me…I just listen to him. Because I didn’t understand a single word he said.
Finally I told him “hey Boss, I don’t understand what you are saying and let it go” then he stop shouting and looked at my face ….that look was very rough. I was so carm, I had my usual smile ......I told him I don’t want to buy this but I will buy something else...as usual I’m a lousy bargainer when I find something I like. So he manage to sell me little expensive items also. I bought lot of things from him and he guided me to his friends who had more stuff..Finally we were friends…..
