I'm proud to be a teacher in Malaysia!

It's Sunday. The week went by smoothly. I enjoyed the Public Holiday on Thursday. In Malaysia, we enjoy a lot of Public Holidays. First of all, there are 3 major races. So every celebration or festivals will be a holiday. We do have minorities at the centre who celebrates other festival that we don't even celebrate. Gawai Day, Guru Nanak Day, Ponggal Day, Greek National Day, Korean National Day, ... and the Japanese, they have other festivals... coming of age day, golden week.... and because we have different races at the centre, we have to keep track of all these at times because we do wish the students.

The International Schools students will sometimes come in their Indian suit during Deepavali (or Diwali). Even the Koreans or Japanese would wear them. It's nice to see.

I love Malaysia because of the vast diversity in culture and colourful history!
