JOHOR BARU: It was a case of love on the first visit for two Italian teenagers who are in Malaysia under the AFS (formerly the American Field Service) foreign students exchange programme.

Despite being in the country from just a month ago, the two said they have fallen in love with Malaysia and have picked up several local traits as well as the national language.
