"Yy, where are you from?"
"Malaysia? Where is that?"
"Is Malaysia A country?"
There has been a countless number of people asked me this question since I came to the United States.
First of all, Malaysia is a country in Asia. It is located in between Thailand and Singapore as well as above Indonesia. Kuala Lumpur (or K.L. as the locals have dubbed it) is the largest and capital city of Malaysia and also the largest. K.L. is the country's central hub for politics, business as well as modern living and is considered to be the only global city in Malaysia. Kuala Lumpur is a bustling hotbed of activity, equivalent to that of New York City.
The Federation of Malaysia consist of Peninsula Malaysia and the states of Sabah and Sarawak on the island of Borneo. Located between 2º and 7º north of the Equator, Peninsula Malaysia is separated from the states of Sabah and Sarawak by the South China Sea.
An earthly paradise, Malaysia has myriad captivating and only one of its kind experiences to offer every traveler, no matter how seasoned or laid-back. From its lush jungles and rainforests to the wide open vistas of its white sand beaches, Malaysia has a incalculable of tourist attractions and panorama to explore.
Multiculturalism has not only made Malaysia a gastronomical paradise, it has also made Malaysia home to hundreds of gaudy festivals. Malays who make up about 57% of the population are the predominant group with Chinese, Indians and other ethnic groups making up the rest. Malaysians are very laid back, warm and friendly.
One of Malaysia's significant attractions is its extreme contrasts, which is the towering skyscrapers look down upon wooden houses built on stilts, and five-star hotels sit several metres away from ancient reefs.
