Background Information<br />
Methodist <strong>College</strong> is fortunate to have exchange students <strong>from</strong> different parts<br />
of <strong>the</strong> world staying with <strong>the</strong>m at various times during <strong>the</strong> school year. We had<br />
four Malaysian students-two Form 4 boys and two Form 5 boys-<strong>from</strong> <strong>the</strong> Methodist<br />
Boys’ Secondary School Kuala Lumpur (MBSSKL) who spent two weeks with us<br />
in November 2011. They studied in our <strong>College</strong> and stayed in host families. The<br />
programme was not only a rewarding experience for <strong>the</strong> Malaysian students, but<br />
has provided a good opportunity for our students to get along with students <strong>from</strong> a<br />
different cultural background.<br />
Reflections <strong>from</strong> <strong>the</strong> Malaysian students<br />
Vincent Teah<br />
The first day I arrived in Hong Kong, I met my host family. They were so friendly.<br />
I felt so warm to be with <strong>the</strong> host family for this long period. The next day, I went to<br />
Methodist <strong>College</strong> to celebrate <strong>the</strong>ir Founders’ Day as planned earlier. I was amazed by<br />
<strong>the</strong> ability of <strong>the</strong> Hong Kong students to hold such a grand event.<br />
I had a chance to meet <strong>the</strong> Methodist <strong>College</strong> school principal, Miss Emily Wong.<br />
Everyone in <strong>the</strong> school was very friendly although I feel that <strong>the</strong>y felt awkward<br />
when seeing us in different uniforms. I gave <strong>the</strong>m a surprise when <strong>the</strong>y discovered<br />
that I knew how to speak Cantonese and this made me feel more comfortable to be<br />
in Hong Kong. We had an alumni dinner in <strong>the</strong> school and <strong>the</strong> food prepared that<br />
night was so delicious. Fur<strong>the</strong>rmore, I was given a chance to express my feelings by<br />
having an interview with <strong>the</strong> school reporters.<br />
I felt that <strong>the</strong> public transportation in Hong Kong was very convenient and I<br />
even got used to it by <strong>the</strong> second day of my stay in Hong Kong. We had a lot of<br />
opportunities to see life and Hong Kong culture. We looked around and found that<br />
Hong Kong is a very modern city. Last but not least, I was so fortunate to be given<br />
such a precious chance to visit Hong Kong as an exchange student. I hope to visit<br />
Hong Kong again in <strong>the</strong> future and I will miss all of you!
