| In my house , I use water through two water purifiers , one outside the
front door and the other inside the house. The filter of the water purifier
, of course , needs to be replaced regularly. We tried to replace the filter of the water prifier early in our life here , but we couldn't open the lid of the water prifier. |

| When I asked a person who knew how to open it by phone , he said , "First
, pen all the water outlets , leave the water out , close the main tap
of the water pipe. After the water has stopped , open the lid of the water
purifier".But no matter how hard it was , it didn't open. I tried it again aweek later. After all , when I reversed the order of what I was taught , the lid opened briliantly. In other words , "First , close the main tap of the water pipe , and open all the water ourlets to keep the water out , and open the lid of the water purifier after the water stops."Congratulations ! Congraturations ! |
| The bedroom door of my rented house is like pressing a knob button from
the inside and locking it with a key from the outside. When I moved to this house , the real estate agent couldn't find the key to this bedroom , so he would deliver it later. My family , who had no habit of locking their bedrooms , never felt the need for a key and remaind undelivered. Still , less than a month after I came to Malaysia , something unexpected happened. An elementary school boy and daughter were playing and pushed the button on the inner knob to close the door. It would be nice if the two who closed the door were inside the bedroom , but since they closed it ooutside the bedroom. we couldn't open it without the key. Since this is 12th floor , we can't enter through the window , and there is no entrance other than the closed door. Clothes such as clothes and underwear , and study tools such as children's textbooks are placed in the bedroom , and we can't live without openning the door. In the end , I had a real estate agent and a key store to come and replace the door knob. At that time , I was able to get the key. However , it was a really annoying event to think that this would not have happened if I had the key. |
| It has been a little over a month since I started living here. I heard
the voice from the kitchen saying "Come on because there is no gas.
Not long ago , there was a loud noise like removing something outside."I
was surprised to see the gas meter outside the entrance. The gas meter
went out and the gas ration pipe was cut off. When I contacted the management office , the gas distribution was stopped because the gas bill of the previous resident of this room was unpaied. The way to stop the distribution of the gas is amazing. The gas meter and the gas pipe are removed. In the end , it turned out to be the responsibility of the former resident , not my family , so the next day I was able to get the gas ration back. However , this prevented the gas from being used for two days. It was a completely unconvincing event. |

| It was when my family went to the Sunway Lagoon theme park. It is in Kuala Lumpur , and we took a taxi because the road to it was uncertain. The taxi fare in Malaysia is very cheap compared to Japan , and I often use it on a daily basis. After playing with a roller coaster at the amusement park , we went to the pool and swam. There are 10 types of pools here , and I was surprised that the pools were large. |

| Then , in order to return home , I told the destination and paid the fee
at the taxi stand office. I received the receipt and had the office staff
take us to the taxi . The person in the office was telling the driver where
to go. When we boarded the taxi , the taxi departed. As for the destination , we said at the taxi stand office , and the driver also heard from the office pearson early , so the driver didn't ask the destination. I thought that we didn't have to say where we were going. I thought something strange many times along the way , but we were detouring because there was a trafic jam in the evening. Also , I was looking forward to learning the detours. But when I had an unpleased feeling , it was too late. We came to KLCC (Kuala Lumpur City Center) ,10 km away from our house. When I asked the taxi driver where to go , he thought it was KLCC. The paper he got from the taxi stand did say KLCC as the destination. The destination was different , so we told him to send us to our house , the taxi driver parked his car on the side of the road and told us to pay the fare from here to our house. If we didn't pay the fee , he said he wouldn't send us. He made a mistake , regardless of us , and we were more annoyed , but we couldn't understand why. We didn't want to be dropped off in such a place , so we managed to negotiate in English and Malay , which we were not used to, the fare from here to our house became fifty-fifty. Thus , the taxi started running towards our home , but the road to our home wasn't the one we always use , but a detour. Not all taxis like this , but I felt once again that I needed to be carefull. |
| If you have a Japanese driver's license and an international driver's
license , you can drive in Malaysia. Moreover , you can get an international
driver's license in Japan before you travel , just by applying for it in
about a week. It was just after I came to Malaysia. My family went shopping on the road where I had already driven several times by car. Along the way , the police ordered the car to be parked by the side of the road. I wasn't speeding up , I was wearing my seatbelts , and I wasn't drinking. I wandered what it was , and stopped my car as ordered. Then , the police said that it was a violation of the route change. In Japan , the yellow line indicates the prohibition of route change , but in Malaysia , the solid white line indicates the prohibition of route change. I changed the route without knowing it at all , so I was ordered to stop. In foreign countries , it is necessary to pay close attention to the fact that same road signs are slightly different from those in Japan. |

| There are three ways to pay a toll on a Malaysian highway. In each case
, when you pass through the toll gate , you pay while you are in the car. The first is to pay the person at the tollhouse in cash. This is the most common method in Japan. It takes time to exchange payments and changes. The second method is to pay using a card. Unlike a Japanese highway cards , we don't give the card to the person at the tollhouse. Reach out of the car and and touch the card at the machine installed at the tollhouse. Then , the points in the card are automatically reduced. The card isn't disposable , yuu can put points in it , and use it again. To put points on the card , go to the gate of the tollhouse that says "TAMBA", "top up" , give the money and the card , and you will get points on the card. You can also top up at the shop near the tollhouse gate. The third method is to pay using the "Smart TAG" (pictured) attached to the car. As you pass through the tollhouse gate , this "Smart TAG" will automatically react , make payments , and open the gate. In Japan , payments are made from a bank account , but in this metod , the above card is inserted into the "Smart TAG" and used. As the points of card will decrease , increase it by the above method. With the third method , it is necessary to always check the points drawn from the card and points remaining on the card , which are displayed when passing throgh the gate of the tollhouse. This is because the machine may malfunction. The other day , 40 ringgit was dedicated from the price of 1 ringgit. I didn't check. So I'm sorry. |

| When I returned to Japan , I went to a cash exchange by myself to convert
Malaysia ringgit into Japanese yen. I parked my car in the parking lot of POS (post office) and walked along the river to the three cash exchanges head up 300m away. I arrived in front of the cash exchange around 13:00. However , since this day was Friday , all three cash exchanges were closed. Every Friday afternoon , there is Islamic prayer. A little after 14:00 , all the three cash exchanges opened , so I negotiated and cashed at the exchange with the best rate. By the time I left the cash exchange , it was past 14:30. On the way out of the cashier and walkig along the river to the parking lot , I was surrounded by about 10 men around the age of 20 and was beaten and kicked. The cell phone I had in my hand was quickly stolen , but I managed to protect my pasport and the bag containing the cash I had just redeemed. Immediately after the incident , when I went to the police , I was rushed to police in four places , explained the situation in each of them , and asked them to prepare a police report. The last police were over after 12:00 midnight. Also , between the police , I went to the hospital and took the x-rays of the chest and head , but there was no abnormality in the bones. From now on , it would be scary if it was done at this level. It may not have been possible to return to Japam due to a life-treating event. Last but not least , I'm realy grateful to my two collegues who accompanied the police and the hospital until after 12:00 midnight. |
