Tiaran Profile – Sara Mimburg

Twenty year old Sara Mimburg, who is on a 3-month stint with Siemens in Phileo Damansara, chose to stay in Tiara since it was close to her office, had friends from the office tenanting a unit here already, "and because I love the swimming pool, the quiet and the canteen."

She finds it so relaxing to lie on a deck chair soaking in the sun, and then downing a freshly squeezed orange juice in the canteen, together with her favourite dishes, either a plate of fried rice or fried noodles. "The local food is very delicious. The way the potato fries are prepared too make them so tasty."

This is her second visit to Asia, the first being to the Philippines." I love Asia. I find Malaysians warm, friendly and easy to work with. Malaysians are also so very helpful. You just have to ask them to help out with something and they will rally around you. Though I do hear about snatch thefts and such incidents, I personally find the place safe and have never encountered any mishap. I also feel safe taking taxis to places."

After her three month internship at Siemens, Sara will be returning to continue her university studies at the International Business College, Leipstag, an hour's drive from her parents' home in Dortmund, where she spends her weekends with her parents.

" I enjoy traveling, so I took three months off to visit Malaysia and at the same time do my internship here. I hope to return to Asia, a continent which fascinates me." Maybe she will return to visit Malaysia again since she has so many friends here, and where the people are gracious, warm, hospitable and friendly. "But I also would like to see as many countries as I can."

So, continue to enjoy your brief stint here, Sara.
