Malaysia: Updates & Travel

Travel in Malaysia

• Malaysia is several countries in one, due to its mixed population of Malays, Indians and Chinese. The many islands on both the east and west coasts are real attractions. Kuala Lumpur is not only booming as a business centre, but is also a fun and especially pleasant city. In short, Malaysia guarantees culture, sun, delicious food and drinks and friendly people.
• Visit the green and vast tea plantations in Cameron Highlands and take beautiful walks through the cooler plateaus.
• Discover the jungle of Taman Negara, in one of the most beautiful national parks in Malaysia.
• Get your diving certificate in Malaysia and go diving the Perhantians or on Sabah.
• Visit a shadow puppet show, not very exciting but a traditional Malaysian entertainment.
• Visit the enormous China Town in Kuala Lumpur, one of the largest China towns outside of China. Go to Sabah and enjoy the world's most beautiful underwater wonders (Sipadan) to unique jungles full of life on the river. Sabah is originally a part of the Philippines and you can also taste a little of the atmosphere of the Philippines.
• Kuala Lumpur is a great and lively city with a compact center. The city is reasonably prosperous and clean, although the traffic occasionally flies around your ears. There are many sights and there is a relaxed atmosphere.
• Imagine yourself back in (18th century) Netherlands in Melaka. In this town south of Kuala Lumpur there are all kinds of remains from the time when the Dutch ruled Melaka.
• Georgetown is a town on the island of Pulau Penang that dates back to the colonial period and is therefore a mix of Eastern and Western influences. It is on the World Heritage List and has a very atmospheric atmosphere.
• Cherating on the east coast is a typical beach town, but 'really Malaysian'. The waves are great for surfing and the surfers bring a lot of liveliness and create a relaxed atmosphere.
• Visit Kinabalu National Park in Malaysian Borneo and climb Mount Kinabalu when you are in top shape.
• Be aware that any possession of drugs (including cannabis) is prohibited and carries severe penalties.
• Be prepared that tropical storms can occur from November to April. Pay close attention to the news and keep an eye on the current situation.
