Things I miss from Finland and things I will miss from Malaysia

1) Things I miss from Finland

Family and friends

Looking similar as everybody else = possibility to do things unnoticed

Second hand stores

Sorting garbage made easy

Selection of bread (not only whole wheat or wheat core but oat, rye, barley, spelt, etc. etc.)


Bicycle


Beautiful home


Human indoor temperature (what makes Malaysians so excited about air-conditioning that it's freezing in most places although the country is blessed with a tropical climate?)


Drinking from any tap


Toilet paper and soap provided in toilets

2) Things I will miss from Malaysia

Friends and substitute family


Cheap prices


Asian toilets (yes, I'm serious, they feel so much more hygienic and ergonomic and are on average cleaner than western ones)


View over UKM campus from KIZ hill


Animals


Public places where shoes have to be left out


Cute people who end their sentences with "lah"


Flower and Islamic decorations


That you can get wet and it doesn't matter because you will be dry in 10 minutes by sun or fan

That you can ask anybody about their age or religion freely without being impolite

Cold shower after a hot day

3) Things I don't need to miss in either place

Green


Good coffee


Hygiene

Physical distance between people

Hectic and individualistic life-style
