Now that I came to do my internship from Argentina to Malaysia, I want to
tell stories about my adventures on this
blog, I'm Lidi and I ve been here for two weeks to work
for a year as marketing assistant at
Vision College. I was working as a
commercial producer in a TV channel and
study international relations at the same time ,it was hard but…. then the
opportunity came to me … and this is how all begins…..
When you are new in a big city with a completely different
culture, first thing you have to do is new friends, to make plans and share
this new experience, that why I contact people through couch surging
website, It’s a internet page is for travelers from around the world. I put an
advertisement, said that I want to make some friends, just like this!! Ha-ha
and many people answer, they invited me
to go to a reggae bar in china town .. It was great!!, I met people from
different countries such as Saudi Arabia, Norway, England, Ecuador,
Republic Slovak, and of course Malaysia, we get along really well!!! That
in two seconds we were organizing to go to the jungle!!!!! Sisisisisis to a
festival of music and art called Ecopalooza, it was really funny to get to that
place. First I went with a Ecuadorian guy that I met the night before, we took
a bus, LRT at Wangsamaju station, then board a cab to Zoo Negara. As we saw a small sign that said
a small sign painted on a blanket with spray with the name of Ecopalooza, we decided to get off the taxi and walk.. How
far can it be??? Well, we passed the first kilometer … nothing… second
kilometer just saw another sign that said just follow the arrow…. I couldn’t
walk anymore…. I was tired!!! So if I was like hey Andres if we do hitch
hike??? Mmm yeah!!! Let’s do it!!!! I do not care about anything right
now!!!! Good…. Hahaha Could not believe that we stop a car just in two seconds…
we boarded the car and felt a strange smell… then smoke came out of the car….
Sisisisi were some farmers who smoked marihuana in the car... clearly!... those
farmers do not know whether they were on earth or in heaven, they wanted to
join us to the festival until they said : noooo we preferred not to drive and
drink .. just smoke and fly…. Ok it ‘was time to go out to the car …. Well I
never seen the more stoners men in the jungle hahahaha in about 5 kilometers we
reached safely… Luckily!!!
Ecopalooza festival was in a place that had many huts and hot
springs pool, the most beautiful scenery to enjoy and leave town with live
music, DJs, workshops, talks, film screenings, art installations,
environmentalists, voice-over&
digital artists, activist, campaigners, Capoeira, fire show… did I mention the
hot springs pools???? Yes all that….! for the prices of 0 ringgits!!!!
After a long day of fun in the jungle, we were already tired and we had
no such return. Soooo we go as we came… yeah! Hitch hike AGAIN! We stop the
second car in which were a boy and two girls from here ,they gave us a ride to Kuala Lumpur to get
back to our homes. The guy who drove us said that he took us to KL but first he
had to take home to one of the girls… it was ok with us? Of course no problem
where this girl lived??? In Batu caves!!!! Don’t worried we didn’t need to
sleep anyway….we went to Batu caves then they wanted to eat too… after all the
road trip through the suburbs lead everyone to their homes. I could not believe
the kindness and hospitality that people have in here.. This kind of things
only happen in the wonderful MALAYSIA!
