Takuya's Story

This Takuya Ishizuka, 23 years old from Tokyo Japan. I studied Physical Chemistry in Sophia University. My hobby is reading, playing sports, and traveling. Before I came to Malaysia, I stayed in Philippines to study abroad.

I came to Malaysia as I want to learn and improve my English and also in business. I am always excited to begin my Internships in Beyond Borders in Malaysia.

My first impression when i reach Malaysia is the people are so easy going and friendly. The first food that I taste when I reach Malaysia is Mee Goreng which is Fried noodle. It is so spicy. The whether in Malaysia are unpredictable because of sometimes its raining and sometimes its sunny day.

I like to eat spicy food but Malaysia food are so much hotter and spicy. My favorite local food in Malaysia is Tom Yam, I know Tom yam is from Thailand but Malaysia have so many food that blend in together.

After a few weeks in Malaysia, I decided to have a visit to KLCC and Batu Caves. batu Cave is the biggest Hindu temple in Malaysia with a lot of stairs. I also notice that Japanese food are not difficult to find here in Malaysia, one of the restaurant that I would like to go again is iSetan in KLCC. The food that I tried in iSetan is Ochazuke, it is so good!

Malaysia have improve their transportation to most convenient for all people in Malaysia and foreig people by providing and Grab Application and Uber. It is so convenient and it is cheaper than Japanese Taksi.

I have my internships in Beyond Borders which is running a real estate portal website for Japanese people and foreign people to buy any property in any countries. Beyond Borders Office is located in Cyberjaya which is convenient with so many convenient store and Shopping Mall also transportation. I gained many experience as i deal with Malaysia developers even thou it is difficult to communicate as we have language barrier.

Beyond Borders also offer a local internships for Malaysia students, one of them are my friends. Which is Kina - kichi and Nabila - kichi. I will miss them when i go back to Japan. Lastly, I would like to visit Malaysia again to explore more local food and because of Malaysia Hospitality is good.
