Ten days in Malaysia proved to be an insufficient amount of time, but it definitely made me realize how badly I’d like to visit the vibrant country again. KUALA LUMPUR After a long overnight flight on a low cost carrier, we arrived in Kuala Lumpur at the Low Cost Carrier Terminal…as zombies.

Thanks for the praise and happy almost 40th! There are lots of places in Malaysia that would make for a great birthday celebration, it just depends on what your interests are. If it was my birthday, I would probably love a beachside holiday full of diving, snorkeling, sunbathing, and island hopping. In that case I would definitely recommend Langkawi. I have also heard wonderful things about Pangkor Island, a much less developed, exotic, and somewhat remote location. If you plan to travel around Malaysia, you get a great feel of the country by mixing Kuala Lumpur for big city life, Taman Negara for a "roughing it" jungle experience, and Langkawi for relaxing island time. I hope this helps. Let me know if you have more questions, or if you would like details about where to stay, what to see etc. If you let me know what kind of trip you're looking for I'd be happy to provide you with more details.

yes it's dirty but...
you have to remember, it's not Europe. Southeast Asia, along with its beauty and exotic sights, comes with a bag of problems, mainly sewage problems and cleanliness. Don't let that discourage you, KL offers so much: history, exotic foods, shopping, temples, Chinatown, modern architecture.
