When I was in Malaysia. I studied in Chinese Schools in both my primary and secondary school. There I learn Chinese, Malay and English plus Kadazan language as an extra. After school time, I got to learn Japanese language as well during night time. As you can see, I'm very pre-oocupied during my primary and secondary school years. When I got to Pre-U, I choose to pick up Korean language. Don't know why, I just felt like it.
The advantage? I can visit most east asian contries and speak to the locals. For example when I was in China people was very suprise to see a "yap pun yan" who can speak potunghua.
Also, It helps a lot when I'm working as well. The company always sent me to China, South Korea, Taiwan , Indonesia, Brunei etc etc to take care of companies bidded projects and to liase with the local government people. [img]smile.gif[/img]
