What is the basic necessities of studying in Malaysia?

Malaysia is a popular country for studying abroad in Asia. Although Malaysia is similar to China in many aspects, if you want to study in Malaysia, you still need to know the life here in advance. The following is the sharing of food, clothing, housing and transportation in Malaysia.

Basic necessities for studying in Malaysia

1. Clothing

Malaysia has a tropical rainforest climate with a small annual temperature difference and an average temperature of 25-28℃; The daily temperature difference is large, the climate is hot during the day and cool at night; The average annual precipitation is 3 mm, which is hot and humid all year round, so you should prepare more clothes to change in summer. Subway, bus, shopping mall and other indoor public places are very air-conditioned, so it is recommended to prepare a long-sleeved coat for indoor wear.

There is no special difference between young people in cities and young people in China. They are usually simple. Jeans, T-shirts and sweaters are all commonly worn.

2. Eating

Besides rice, Malaysians also eat mulberry cake, which is made by fermenting shrimp to make shrimp paste, mixing with pepper, mashing it in a stone mortar, and pouring lime juice to make it slightly medicinal. Rice, mulberry and vegetables are the most basic meals. If you add onions, garlic, ginger, spices, small dried fish, etc., it is a richer meal. One of the most representative famous dishes in Malaysia is called "Satay"; In addition, sour prawns, coconut milk rice (made of rice, meat and various vegetables), macadamia (made of raw fruits mixed with sweet and spicy seasonings) and hot and sour fish are all popular Malay foods. Of course, you can not only eat malaysian cuisine in Malaysia, but also taste very authentic Chinese food. Malaysian Hainanese chicken rice is the best in China restaurants, and the chicken soup is only 3 yuan Malaysian ringgit (about 4.5 yuan RMB).

After-dinner snacks include cassava cakes and fried bananas. After dinner, there are all kinds of sweet and fragrant southern fruits, such as oranges, bananas, pineapples and watermelons. Seasonal fruits, such as durian, kiwi fruit and so on. Drinks mainly include coconut juice.

3. Living

The school has a student dormitory, which is generally RM 3-7 per month. You can also live in a local host family or find a house to live in a school dormitory, and rent a house outside the school: generally, it is RM 25-5 per month.

4. Travel

The highways in Malaysia extend in all directions, so buses are the most convenient and practical means of transportation. From the expressway running through the western half of the Malay Peninsula to various long and short-distance routes, a good road traffic network has become the best alternative for local people.

there are three kinds of buses in Malaysia. One is a long-distance bus to and from Singapore, Kuala Lumpur, or from Kuala Lumpur to Penang, the other is a local bus between metropolis and other towns, and a city bus that shuttles through the urban area.

people who are not familiar with the road conditions can make more use of taxis. Most types of taxis in Malaysia are Japanese cars Corolla. Almost all have air conditioning, and the body is black and yellow, with the words "TEKSI" printed on it. Kuala Lumpur is a watch-jumping style, and most other places have to negotiate in advance. You can ask the hotel about the relevant market. Compared with buses, taxis are naturally much more expensive, but if there is a lot of luggage, it is more convenient to consider taking a taxi. Taxi take-off is RM 1.5 within 1.6 km.

Long-distance bus is preferred for long-distance travel. Its advantages are comfort, convenience and service. It travels between metropolises, hardly taking a rest except for refueling and eating. In addition to air conditioning, toilets and other general equipment, some cars also have stereos and televisions. There are also VlP buses (VIP buses) with very spacious seats, but they don't provide meals, drinks and other services on the bus like Thailand.

these long-distance routes are jointly operated by several passenger transport companies, and there are many trains every day. There are ticket windows of various companies at or near the station, and sometimes it is not clear which one to buy. In fact, except for a little difference in fares, the services and types of cars are basically similar.

local buses connecting short and medium distances are an important means of transportation for local people. Most of the bus bodies are old buses. Go back and forth between towns along the bus stop. Local buses also leave at the main station in the city center, and the fare can be delivered according to the owner's instructions after getting on the bus.

Common sense of studying abroad in Malaysia

1. Currency exchange is sufficient for living expenses

Ringgit is circulated in Malaysia, and the unit is RM. You must learn to use local currency. Before studying abroad, you need to exchange enough currency to pay for living expenses. At present, in China, only the Bank of China can exchange Malaysian ringgit, but it is generally necessary to make an appointment with the bank outlets by telephone one day in advance.

2. Pay attention to the local weather changes in time

Malaysia is located at the equator, which is hot and rainy all the year round. One second it is clear in Wan Li, and the next it may suddenly storm. We need to remind everyone to pay attention to the local weather changes at any time. It is recommended to keep a dual-purpose umbrella, which can be used in rainy or sunny days.

Although Malaysia is located at the equator, the temperature is not high. Pay attention to sun protection when traveling in sunny days, and remember to take your coat when traveling in rainy days.

3. Know the local customs in advance

Malaysia is a multi-ethnic country, composed of Malays, Chinese and Indians. The locals believe in Islam, and there are many Muslims. When you first arrive in Malaysia, you should pay attention not to eat pork and aquatic shellfish in front of Muslims. Yellow is a taboo color, and generally black is not used alone; When visiting a Muslim church, you must wear a headscarf and a robe.

4. Observe the traffic rules in daily travel

The traffic in Malaysia is not as developed as the domestic subway bus, and there are not so many means of transportation in Malaysia, so traffic congestion rarely occurs. The direction of Malaysia is to drive on the left.
