Key Tips about visiting homestay
- Approach the homestay experience with an open heart and mind. This cultural experience is likely to be very different from anything you have experienced before.
- Malaysians remove their shoes before entering their homes. To be polite, you should do the same.
- Although your hosts eat with their hands, you are welcome to use cutlery – just ask your host for a fork and spoon (knives are usually only used at Western restaurants).
- In Malaysia, men and women who are not related do not hug and kiss each other.
- Malaysian villages offer basic comforts. Electricity and running water are available all over Malaysia. Homestay villages are connected to big cities via modern highways and public transport.
- The kampungs, or villages, that are involved in the homestay programme are committed to ensuring that you experience village-style living first-hand and are used to welcoming a variety of foreign guests from around the world.
