Arrived at Stockholm, Sweden and started working in March. Was wandering if I put the blog post titled “Malaysian in Stockholm, Sweden”, would it help to get some fellow Malaysians to notice me and get in touch with me? 😛 It would be nice to know some fellow Malaysians here and how are they doing in Sweden…
