Reynard chong: College Culture

Firstly, I want to talk about the places where people would hang out and chat. One of these places is the library, its a place where people would hang out but most of them are more focused on work while in there. At the main hall, there is always people hanging around almost all day although relatively small. The canteen has people hanging out during there lunch break and would stay there chatting until lunch is over. During the evening, the small post around the college would have people hanging out usually with small groups. At night time, the football field near the 7/11 shops are usually packed with Nigerian/ Africans. At the local hostel, the badminton court would be the place to "lepak" during the night in small groups sitting on the ground. Sometimes, the food stalls that are only open at night would be a place to hang out as well.Also, there are at the shops nears 7/11 its mostly packed during the night.

Next, is about the food culture at my college. During the afternoon until evening, there would be a vehicle stall selling Nasi lemak and sometimes porridge. Alot of people go there to buy Nasi Lemak during lunch and would mostly be sold out after lunch. We call the owner of the stall "Pak Cik" (Uncle) and is quite known by local and international alike. The school canteen is open early morning till evening. There are Chinese and Indian themed food, both have variety of selection but in my opinion the taste was just average at the same time quite expensive. The Shops at 7/11 are mostly Indian themed food, they are usually packed for their economic value. At the same time, there are fast food stalls nearby the shops. The burger fast food is usually open during the evening till midnight. The burger they make is actually not bad. Theres also a nasi lemak stall there as well and the food he sells are also good. Sometimes, there would be a fried chicken stall. They appear usually at sunday but sometimes can appear at other random days. The stall sells fried chicken, chicken hot dogs and popcorn chicken. The food is also quite delicious. Each Wednesdays, there would be a pasar malam with multiple choices of food and items. At the local hostel there would be multiple food stalls set up during the night till evening. Some stalls have decent and some have good food.
