Across the universe to MaSeoulPalette Cafe

(Izzy and Sha)

Izzy (not easy/eezy/izi/ etc..) is a 21 year old XX born and bred in Malaysia. She has always been a state hopper (started in Sarawak-Penang- Kuala Lumpur- Kedah- now Kuala Lumpur) and spent half of her life acquiring different dialects as well as getting adjusted to the different cultural registries state by state. She could be defined by her strong enthusiasm in languages, good reading materials, poetry and music.

Izzy’s partner in crime, 22 (2016) year old Sha is a pure Kelantanese and currently pursuing Bachelors degree in ENCOM. Both Sha and Izzy were alumnus of Korean Language Institute in Sun Moon University, South Korea. Before we move any further, let’s create a room as to answer the big question. Why Korea? Her exchange programme over there somehow has opened up her mind about the uniqueness of a different culture. Living in a different environment, culture and social expectations had her realized that the basic tolerance and the act of trying to understand another culture unconsciously had granted her a lifetime priceless experience. The experience that she gathered had transformed her to be a more open-minded person now.

MaSeoulPalette is an initiative taken by two culture-driven roommates [Izzy and Sha] in the pursuit of venturing the colourful ideas of cultures, precisely between Malaysia and South Korea(대한민국) together with observing the intersections that might appear somewhere around the lines. Intercultural communication and the variations that come within is our cup of tea. We serve as a cultural café that welcomes all readers from different walks of life. Therefore, we are more than delightful if you could share your experiences with the rest of the world in our palette. So all you have to do is just to sit back, relax and enjoy reading while travelling with us^^
