It is all about Malaysia culture.

The Journey included various culture about Malaysia and the culture shock between chinese and western.

First I will show you the festival of Malaysia Chinese New Year. In the film have show us the Parade of Deities( Chinese is 古廟游神). The temple organizes this annual in the first lunar month of 20-23rd every year. There are many type of God for difference ethnicity. For example the Teochew, Hokkien, Cantonese, Hakka and Hainan. So people can bye-bye with their own God.

The next festival is the Jade Emperor birthday(the 9th day of 1st month in Lunar Calendar. )

In this time, Malaysian Chinese will be here to bye-bye tian gong like a thanksgiving celebration. This behavior is hope to get the protection and lucky in next year. On the other hands, at the last day of the year, Malaysia have the final count down on New Year's Eve. In this event, there are many Malaysia Star to performance and stay together with audience to across the New Year. We can see that in this film, the atmosphere is getting higher and Malaysia is a uniting country.

In the film, the daily life of their talking are many difference language such as bahasa Malaysia, Chinese, Cantonese, English, Hakka, Minnam, Hokkien. Especially the bahasa Malaysia which is the main language in Malaysia. The government ordered all the school need to have the test of passing bahasa Malaysia. So the Malaysian at least can speak 3 language in their life. In the primary school life, they need to pass the UPSR exam which is continue to study the higher level in the student life.

According this culture, we can know that Malaysia are many difference country people stay together. For example Chinese, Malay, Indonesia, Vietnam, Burma, Thailand, etc. We can know that Malaysia is a diversity country and I really enjoy it.

Malaysian have 2 groups which is Malay and Malaysian Chinese. Malay in Malaysia was respected by Malaysia government. So many civil service was employed by Malay. The feature of civil service is slow motion. For example when the police arrest the people they just keep walking and slowly to arrest the criminal.

The religion is important part in Malaysia. Islam is the biggest part of religion and it is Malay's religion too.

In this film, there are many culture shock between Chinese and Western. For example, wedding party is important day of the Chinese, so they want to let all of people who is used to know. Then, they also give the wedding invitation to them. But the Western just want to have a wedding simply.

For example, to have a dinner with their parents.

Finally, I want to show you the difference in Taiwan and Malaysia.

For this sentence 'What happened?'
In Taiwanese they will ask ' 怎麼了'
But in Malaysian Chinese will ask '做麼?'
I think it is so funny in difference country to say the same feeling and have other way to say.
