Travel Malaysia

 

Malaysia wraps a lot of places into one: a bustling, cosmopolitan capital city; an island long favored by backpackers and beach bums; and one of the world’s most diverse countries. This post discusses what to see in Malaysia as well as some things that you should avoid. Get ready for this South East Asia adventure!

 

What to travel Malaysia:

We’ve got the capital city of Kuala Lumpur, but it’s also a center for Islamic heritage. The island is made up largely of resorts—though there are some beaches, too.

You’ll find plenty of food in Kuala Lumpur, and you’ll also find a variety of unique dishes. The food is spicy, and the capital city is famous for its street food as well.

Malaysia is a fascinating country. Home to exotic destinations, the long Malaysian beaches, and unexplored jungles inhabited by elusive animals. This vast and diverse country offers something for everyone to enjoy. Malaysia is also an inexpensive destination with lots of budget-friendly accommodation options in most major cities and beach resorts around the peninsula.

 

Performing arts are popular in Malaysia. And yes, this means that there are places to see dance troupes performing on the streets.

 

Kuala Lumpur is known for its shopping—both clothing and jewelery. Jewelery in particular is very popular in Malaysia . You can buy cheap, but there’s also a lot of quality work to be seen as well.

 

While the island doesn’t have much more than beaches, there are some interesting tours. You can see things from the viewpoint of a native villager, for example, or you can be taken to a resort. Malacca is also worth a daytrip as it has more greenery than Kuala Lumpur.

 

And then there are some things that you should avoid in Malaysia:

Avoid Malaysian food in the capital city, Kuala Lumpur. Most of the food is very spicy and not all that delicious. Local outlets of Western fast-food chains are welcome alternatives. However if you want to sample the local fare, head out to Batu Feringgi (near the airport) or Batu Pahat (near Seri Kembangan).

If you like wearing cash, carry a lot of it in your purse. Malaysia has brought a lot of people, including illegal ones, into the country and this has created an underground economy that some people have to pay for.

 

Avoid eating and drinking in the capital city’s reputed red light district. While there are street vendors selling food and drinks on the streets, it is often overcharged for. Instead take a short walk to one of the many open air markets in Kuala Lumpur . You’ll get great food at very reasonable prices from local vendors.
