I think it's different, especially in your position at a tourist spot that tourist come to do the tourist thing. Like you said, you're not on a vacation, you truly LIVE there, so it's kinda difficult having to live normally whilst tourist friends wanted to do tourist things with you. I totally get that.
If I'm that friend, I will have my entire itinerary prepared, probably have one or two slots blank, that I will ask you if we can get together and do something not so tourists that is convenient for you and Nadi 🤣
But if you're coming to Malaysia, oh boy I'm going to ask for 1 full day of your scendule. I'll kidnap you for a crazy food tour 🤣
RE: Having friends visit me here is nice but also a pain
