Smalltown Charm
Last weekend we had the opportunity to visit the northernmost state of Perlis for a civil service conference. We were put up at a students' hostel (twin-sharing) with a common bathroom (separate stalls for toilet and bathing). After having left boarding school and college at least 20 years ago, this hostel experience brought back a lot of memories, wonderful ones.
What made the event extra special was that everybody was really, really nice! We felt welcome and at home, the sessions went very smoothly... and there were smiles all around.
The food in Perlis was superb; I have figured out that it is almost a rule that food at the northern part of Malaysia (Perlis, Kedah, Penang) tastes good... even the ones served at the airport. So there.
The event ended with 7 declarations for future improvement of the civil service corp. We thanked the hosts, and left on the 3.45 pm flight to KL, happy as clams.
