Day 2
I departed from the hotel with Ellie and my driver to the arranged
Homestay Kampung SriPaya. I was looking forward to the Homestay the most. I was
told that different villages could apply for grants that allowed tourist to
stay in their homes to they’d have the true Malaysian home experience with a
Malaysia family.
Ellie informed me that the Homestay village I was visiting previously
did not have roads. With the money that had been earned from the homestay they
were able to build the roads to make it easier for the farmers to travel to the
local markets to sell their goods. The homestays gave the opportunity to stay
with host families in their “kampang” (village) lifestyle. This truly was the
best way to experience and taste the love and warmth of the Malaysia’s
traditional communities.
During my homestay they let tap rubber trees, eat and visit a mushroom
farm and watch the women make handcrafts souvenirs. However, my favourites part
was being given the opportunity to cut my own coconut down from a coconut tree
and drink the juice straight from the coconut (cause as most of us know, it is
very hard to find fresh coconuts in Australia).
