Transcript

Yesterday I talked to one of my best Asian friend. I live in Munich and she thought I live in poverty. Okay so yesterday I talked to my uh one of my best Asian friend and I live in Munich since a long time long time and then she she told me like are you doing okay? And I was like why? And then she said because like the thing you are posting like you know I was posting about like greens like forest and stuff. She said like the things you are posting are you living in poverty? And I was like what? And then she said yeah because um in Malaysia if you live in a place that has a lot of greens which means um your living condition is not as good the people who are living in the city. And I was like no it's just like you know in Munich city there are a lot of like parks and people can bring their dogs and stuff you know. And then I just never thought about that until now that oh shit that is actually like a cultural shock.
