JOHOR BARU: After spending nine months in the country, Polish teenager Patricia Frevel is calling Malaysia her second home.

“It has been a wonderful and eye-opening experience for me. I got to celebrate Deepavali, Chinese New Year, Thaipusam and Hari Raya Aidilfitri,” said Fravel, who came to Malaysia on Aug 15 last year under the American Field Service programme.
