Malaysia
Let us take you on a visual journey through Malaysia. See for yourself this
beautiful country full of color and filled with energy, geared for the tourist!
Kuala Lumpur, the capital of Malaysia, is a fast-paced modern city that
doesn't sleep. Any time of day or night is the right time in KL, Kuala Lumpur
for short. Shopping is the favorite past time here with Central Market and
Karyaneka being excellent stops for Malaysian handicrafts like Batik and
Selangor Pewter. The super malls such as KLCC and Berjaya Times
Square carry worldwide brands such as Polo, Cartier and Rolex. These
malls are also gathering places, with excellent restaurants serving
international cuisine. For the tourist on the go, there is a fair share of delis,
coffee houses and pubs to go around.
Like any modern city, KL 's skyline is something to brag about. The famous
Petronas Twin Towers, which is a tourist attraction in itself houses cinemas,
concert halls and a aquarium! Don't forget to walk the Sky Bridge at the
Petronas Twin Towers which was part of a famous movie scene.
Last, but by no means the least happening area, is the south of KL. The
fun city of Sunway and the Sunway Lagoon Theme Park is here. Spend the
day on the great water slides, test your surfing skill and ride the rides at
this 80 acre water park. There is also an ice skating rink, shopping and
great dining. Putrajaya, the administrative capital built to house the
government offices is in this direction as well. Moving further south you
come to Malacca. Founded some 600 years ago, tales and legends
surround this city. Visit the Christ Church, St. Paul’s Hill and the famous A’
Famosa. Shop for antiques and ride trishaws!

In KL, 'Five Star' hotels are the norm and the night life here is ‘off the hook’! From symphonies to concerts with international stars, KL is the happening place. If you are looking to hang out with the crowd, visit Bintang Walk, a popular street district. When the sun goes down, the streets come alive with pop bands and spin music.
There are numerous tours you can take in KL. Let’s start with the Colonial District, a showcase of earlier times, and the birthplace of Independence. The Colonial District is not only for history buffs but for those who like to get an insight of Malaysia's beginnings.
Not far from the Colonial District is Lake Gardens, the Bird Park, the National Mosque, Monument and Museum. The Communications Tower has a bird's eye view of the city and the famous 'Chinatown' has everything else!
