To live in a multi cultural society and a harmonious one at that, Malaysian’s friendliness knows no boundaries. Their willingness to share their livelihood with visitors denotes kindness and sincerity. It is not an unusual thing anymore to have guests staying in your house, getting to know the family or experience dining with local dishes, especially when he or she gets to experience eating with their hands!
Homestay programmes allow one to get a chance to experience Malaysian’s known warm hospitality and unique culture. Malaysians love meeting people and learn about new culture - no guests are stranger in their homes. Living with these friendly kampung folks will expose visitors to many unique practices such as the ability to eat with hands, wearing a comfortable sarong and playing kites with kids amidst the scenic paddy fields.
The concept of homestay supports community based activities that relates to tourism. Due to their participation, kampung folks will be primary recipients from benefits derived from these programmes. There are many programmes where guests can experience like getting involved in local community activities ranging from cooking classes to getting oneself invited to a traditional wedding.
You can also watch a local cultural dance or even participate in the mesmerising silat, a form of local Martial Arts or simply unwind with a traditional herbal massage. |
