Actually, for us language barrier is not a problem, it's all about good manners & attitude. Even us, Malaysian not all good at English...when we Malaysian travel to another countries, we also face the same language barrier problem too. The solution is we use simple hand sign or gesture to communicate with other foreigner. We ask for help in the most polite & most civilized way as possible, because we don't want to create problem in other country. Tourist is a little ambassador for their own country, most local people will judge your country based on your attitude & manner. If you show your good side, other people will look up to your country.
Hi ~I am from Taiwan, I have to say you are such a kind person, i’m hoping your advice for China people could understand which is good❤❤❤ by the way Malaysia is a beautiful country. Love it.😍😍😍😍
EXACTLY!!! I work for a luxury brand, only Mainland Chinese tourists would ask us prices of the bags and automatically expect it to be in RMB! Like WTF, this is Malaysia!! Do they go to Europe, enter a luxury boutique, and expect the prices to be communicated in RMB rather in EURO?! 不好意思~人民币不是国际货币!在大马问价格,当然是以马币报价咯。。
Around 2010 I was working in HK. I was having lunch with a foreign colleague at a McDonald’s. There was this bloke with a heavy Beijing accent, talking to his friend sitting about 3m away fro where we were. My God, they weren’t talking, they were literally shouting. As I could understand Mandarin, I knew they weren’t quarreling. Most of those in the outlet were staring at the two uncivil peasants. I took it one step further. I shouted into my cellphone in Mandarin as if I was talking to someone who owed me USD3 million and at one point I pretended the other party couldn’t hear me and I literally shouted into the phone, “ I’m warning you, if I do not receive the money by next Monday, don’t expect to continue living!”. By now most of the diners knew that I was intentionally shaming the two peasants, and they knew two as they hurriedly left the outlet. We all had a good laugh. 😂
