Batu Caves,Malaysia

                                      

Malaysia is a Southeast Asian country occupying the Malaysian Peninsula and part of the 

island of Borneo. It's known for its beaches, rain forests and mix of Malay, Chinese, Indian 

and European influences. The sprawling capital, Kuala Lumpur, is home to colonial 

buildings, busy shopping districts such as Bukit Bintang and skyscrapers including the 

iconic, 451m-tall Petronas Twin Towers.

There’s only so much a person can say about a place, food and people. If I were to tell 

you that Malaysia has the most beautiful beaches, delicious food or interesting culture, you could also tell me that other countries have that too. The best way to introduce anyone to Malaysia is by show and tell.
