Meet Kati. She is from Romania, and she came to Malaysia with no long-term plans in 2012. Eleven years, seven houses, and two kids later, she is still here. During our chat, Kati shared insights on how foreigners can build trust with Malaysians, the challenges of not understanding local English, and her reasons for buying a place on Borneo Island. Enjoy!
