Malaysia

Advantages: Beautiful beaches. Great shops at night great fun, forests too
Disadvantages: hot/humid/polluted

...Kuala Lumpur the capital of Malaysia is great for all tourists, in this very hot climate there are excellent hotels. There are great shops and things are very cheap, technology is pretty good too. Strange things were seen when exploring Malaysia, shops sellings testicles, yes i did say what you just read, Kangaroo testicles etc. I wont go into detail what else they were selling because you get the idea. I just said the last part to throw a huge contrast of Malaysia=let me explain, basically Malaysia is a great tourist destination because it has great sites like the worlds tallest towers - The twin towers in Kuala lumpur - I went there and trust me its very high, but for some reason they dont let you go right to the top! - and if any one was wondering yes you travel by elevator not stairs. The two towers are joined by a central...

Welcome to Malaysia!!!

Disadvantages: sometimes you may not stand the hot and humidity...

...It's been a year and a half I've been UK, well specifically in Leeds. At this moment, alone in my room make me missing everything back home and that the reason I've wrote this review. Might be you'll think that I tried to promote my country although it is not my main reason, but hey why not. I'm proud to be Malaysian. Cheesy?. Facts about Malaysia. Sometimes, when I met new people and told them I'm from Malaysia, they will ask me back "it's Malaysia near China?" Well, its true China and Malaysia are Asian country but we are not that close to each other. Malaysia's nearest neighbors is Thailand, Indonesia and also Singapore. Our native language is Malay and second language is English so it's not a problem when you go there because most people can speak English very well. Our population in 2005 estimated around 23,953,136 and is...

Review of General: Malaysia

Malaysia Airlines, sets the benchmark for other airlines!

Advantages: Very hospitable, great customer service, no delays, no fuss, very welcoming
Disadvantages: You won't want to leave the plane!!

...Malaysia Airlines have flown me between Heathrow and Kuala Lumpur twice a year for the last 8 years and I wouldn't fly with any other airline. Firstly, if you're flying too and from Kuala Lumpur on a regular basis, join the Enrich frequent flyer reward programme. You will soon amass points that can then used for upgrades to business class when you want a real treat. Malaysian custom is to be very polite and hospitable and its no different with Malaysia Airlines (MAS). Whether its terminal three at Heathrow or check in at Kuala Lumpur International Airport, you get a warm greeting and all the assistance you require. In my experience, nothing ever seems too much trouble for either the MAS ground or flight crews. Many years ago I mentioned that my wife and I were on honeymoon and we were pleasantly surprised on-board with a bottle...

Review of Malaysia Airlines

Want to to get know about Malaysia, Visit Melaka

Advantages: cheap, nice historical places
Disadvantages: difficult to getting around, most people speaks malay and chinese, poor public transport

...Do you like history or you are a historian? If the answer is Yes, then You should go to visit Melaka. Many people said that "visit Melaka, then you have already visited a whole Malaysia country." Melaka is well know as the city of heritage and history in Malaysia. It is located on the West Coast of Peninsular Malaysia facing the Straits of Malacca. To get there, you need to take an airplane to Kuala Lumpur International Airport and you can charter a cab to take you to Melaka. It might takes 3 hours before you can arrive at Melaka. If you are departing from Singapore, you can took coach and you need 4 hours to arrive in Melaka. PLACE TO STAY IN MELAKA Finding accommodation and spending a night in Malacca is a simple matter of choice and budget. For those people who prefers to stay in the city, there are a lot of choice for you. If...

Review of Melaka (Malaysia)

Kuch Kuch Hota Hai-Catch bollywood's favorite romantic couple!

Advantages: Entertaining,Charming.Dec ent performances,Music
Disadvantages: Cliche.Dont expect something too mature or path breaking

...Kuch kuch hota hai,karan johar?s debut film is his tribute Archies comic series. Starring his best buddy Shahrukh khan, Kajol and Rani Mukharjee it is certainly a crowd puller and a film high on entertainment. A simple and basic plot revolving around Raj and Anjali(who are best of friends), it starts off as Raj?s daughter grows 10 and is presented with his late mother?s letters to her. She comes to know of her dad?s best college friend Anjali(she is also named Anjali after her). The story moves forward with the daughter trying to reunite her dad with Anjali,only to know she is about to get married to another guy. While the first half is essentially a college romantic kind of a film, the second tries to be a bit more mature in its treatment. What really works for this film is that it doesn?t follow the subtle and mature path, it sticks...

Review of Kuch Kuch Hota Hai (Hindi Language) (Wide Screen) (DVD)

Malaysia - A good Country to Visit

Advantages: Tropical climate. Multi cultural Good food.
Disadvantages: Humidity.Traffic Jams in the Cities.

...Malaysia is a very good country to visit. It is comparatively cheap with the rinngit pegged to the US dollar at the rate of US$1:RM3.80. You can find budget hotels at around 15 pounds per night, 2/3 star hotels at about 20 pounds and if you look for special offers you can even stay in de luxe hotels for around 50 pounds per night.That is not bad is it ? Eating out can be very inexpensive - if you patronise the local hawker stalls you could get dinner for around a pound, and even a good meal in a air conditioned restaurant need not set you back more than three or four pounds.I have eaten marvellous dim sum buffet style in a hotel-The Mint-for less than 5 pounds. Another great feature of Malaysia is that it is a multi cultural nation with Malays/Indonesians, Chinese, Indians, and the indigenous peoples of the Peninsular...

Cat Capital : Kuching

Advantages: clean, culturally exciting, nice people
Disadvantages: none

...is the highly regarded, Sarawak Cultural Village, where you will be able to see first hand the traditional dwellings of the different ethnic groups that make up the friendly peoples of Sarawak. There is also a very lively dance performance at certain times of the day, which should not be missed. If you are a beach lover then there are several resorts at Damai for you to choose from and for the more adventurous, there is the Hilton Batang-Ai resort which is styled after the traditional longhouse of the Iban peoples. Kuching has a lot to offer including nature, shopping, culture, good food and lots more. It is a convinient destination to access and flights from Kuala Lumpur take only one and a half hours by Malaysia Airlines, or Air Asia....

Review of Sarawak (Malaysia)

Want to Live in Malaysia?

Advantages: Modern facilities, conveniently located, friendly people, lots to do
Disadvantages: None

...We were in Kuala Lumpur, commonly known as KL, sitting in an Irish pub (for a change!) when we spotted a copy of "The Expat" magazine. Having expat-related business ventures ourselves, although not Malaysia-based, naturally we were interested to read this glossy magazine - it turned out to be an excellent publication - and discovered that there was to be an Expat Expo in the nearby Kuala Lumpur Convention Centre (KLCC) on 29 and 30 September 2007. Well, we were in KL on holiday, had no business materials with us, and no smart clothes. But we decided to go and have a look anyway, as we're always interested in expat-related things. It was well worth while. This was the first Expat Expo organised by "The Expat", but the general consensus among the attendees seemed to be that they hoped it would become an annual event. Certainly if it...

Review of Expat Expo, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia

A short guide to Malaysia

Advantages: Beautiful scenery and cheap prices
Disadvantages: Too hot! and the cities are somewhat polluted

...Well where to begin. Firstly some quick tips for preparing to go to Malaysia: First and most important take some ANTI MOSQUITO cream/repellant. This is the MOST important piece of advice any of these reviews could suggest to you. This is because virtually everywhere in Malaysia has mosquitos and they are a huge pain, causing swelling and severe itchiness. Secondly if your going for a week or two then you should get the necessary jabs: malaria ect (speak to GP). Although most people will not come into contact with the nasty infections abroad, you don't want to be the unlucky one that does become infected. Thirdly do not, I repeat do not even think of taking any illegal drugs into Malaysia. This is because it has the DEATH PENALTY for drug dealing. Fourthly you may want to bring some extra money for dental treatment. Strange...
