Ok,well as well know there are quite a number of foreign students or "internationals" studying in Malaysia.

I myself have known students from Japan,Korea,Mynammar,India,China,Kazakhistan,Russia,Pakistan,Phillipines,Israel,Jordan,Australia,Bahrain,Yemen,Nigeria,Oman and other Arab,African countries.LOL Yeah met many of them.

Many of them are really friendly and fun to be around with.You get to share different experiences and views and know different cultures.

But,yes there are always exceptions.I have had some quite bad experiences with some foreign students especially Africans.Most of the times people feel and complain they are quite rude,badly behaved and lacking manners.

I would like to share one of my experiences with them.

There is this time I was at a friends college.I was in the queue at the atm when I saw a group of africans walk towards the atm.One of them went and lined up.Another one of them went close to the atm and leaned towards a pillar facing the atm(like exactly next to the atm) and he just stayed there.
Its common sense to stay a little back to give people privacy when they are using the atm but this guy was just staying there right next to the girl using the machine and just looking at what she was doing.She ofcourse was pissed off but didnt say anything.
It was the turn of the guy infront of me nd the african guy was still there.The guy didnt say or do anything.
Next came my turn,as I took out my card,I looked at him to give him a hint about his wrong behavior.He just stayed there and started staring at me(wtf?).I gave him the "excuse me??" and he was like "what" in his fake accent.I asked him what was he doing?He said "you have a problem,you got something to say??" in a angry agressive tone and he came closer to me.

LOL
I told yeah there is a problem cuz itz rude to stand there when others are using the atm and asked him if he was watching tv there?
Then he said "I can do whatever I want" smiling to his friends at my back.
I stared at him and said "get the F outta here" nd showd him I wasnt backing down.
That knocked some sense into him and he left.
Lol at first he thought he could argue with him in his fake accent thinking I cant speak in english well.Later he thought I would be scared of him and his punk friends.They think we asians are weak and they feel like they cant get touched man.

Anyway I would like to hear all of your opinions and views on this.
Also you can share your interactions,experiences,relations on "internationals" not only on african students but on students from other countries as well.
