1. How does the author describe Malaysia in regards to showing affection?
The first few sentences state ''I never saw people share mouth to mouth kisses' this represents people showing effecting to each other but obviously in Malaysia it isn't done in this way.

That only overseas Asian kids would approach her no other white people.

That she was placed in the ESL English class and didn't make many friends until Year 11 when she enrolled in literature and received one of the highest marks in Year 12 literature.
