In the spring of 2003 Jonas and Niels went to
China on an internship for Hydro Aluminium. They learned alot and
saw more possibilities in Asia. So they decided that we wanted to
learn more. Some of their friends talked about studying a Bachelor
degree in Malaysia and for us that sounded perfect.
The third guy on this site is Kenneth. He is one of
the friends who recommended Malaysia to Jonas and Niels. Kenneth
spent the spring of 2003 finishing his marketing economist education
by spending the last 4 months in Malaysia at a business school in
Kuala Lumpur. He became a big fan of Malaysia and decided to continue
his studying there.
The thing we will be studying is Bachelor (Hons) in
International Business Administration. For all of us it is a natural
step in our further development in life.
The school we are attending is the HELP institure
of Kuala Lumpur. They have a coorperation with the University of
East London and this ensures a quality education as it is controlled
by english educational standard. The course include such subjects
as Critical Issues in Organisation & Management and Marketing
Decision Making.
We are staying in the capitol of Malaysia - Kuala Lumpur. This fine
city is described in the travel guide lonely planet as follows:
Kuala Lumpur
In 130 years, Kuala Lumpur has grown from nothing to a modern, bustling
city of well over a million people. Superficially, KL (as it's almost
universally known) may appear to be just another modern Asian city
of gleaming skyscrapers, but it retains much of the character and
local colour that has been so effectively wiped out in other Asian-boom
cities such as Singapore. It has plenty of colonial buildings in
its centre, a vibrant Chinatown with street vendors and night markets,
and a bustling Little India.
When KL does something, it likes to do it big. The twin Petronas
Towers skyscrapers - the tallest building in the world - dominate
the skyline, while in Merdeka Square stands a 95m (312ft) flagpole.
Despite the economic crisis, Kuala Lumpur is currently the site
of large-scale development, with work underway on a new US$8 billion
city on the southern fringe of the capital as well as an adjoining
'ultra-high-tech multimedia supercorridor'. Before the Asian economic
crisis hit in 1997 there were also plans to build the world's longest
building, too.
Like any other big city in the world KL sounds like
a great and busy city and we are looking forward to our stay there.
