»Welcome to Malaysia!«

Today, I decided to go for a walk again. I went for a 15 min walk to the nearest shopping mall. On my way there, while slowly walking between the houses, I suddenly heard someone say: ''Welcome to Malaysia!" I kept on walking and said: ''Thank you.'' I didn't know where it came from, until I saw someone leaning on the fence of the house I just passed by and starting a conversation with me. It was a young Malay man, asking me all kinds of questions in English, like where I was from, what was my name, where I was headed... People in Malaysia are very friendly and it wasn't the first time somebody started a conversation with me. So I am not surprised when something like that happens. Anyway, he said he hoped to see me again. I said ''yes, see you''. But the thing is... I seldom walk that way, so I doubt I will meet him again. But you never know.
