Actually, I find that a bit rude as they all speak English and some speak French as their first language even!! I don't know. I think Ramadan is exaggerating how different I am from everybody there.

I think that's really rude!! I had some Malaysian friends and they almost always spoke english around me. If one of them slipped up and spoke Malaysian, they would apologise and translate it for me. It must be very lonely sat with a group of people whilst they speak a language you don't understand
