Malaysia is a country of contrasts. The capital, Kuala Lumpur, appears as a modern, progressive city with fabulous architecture ranging from the restored, British colonial buildings to the sky – reaching Petronas Towers. It is a show piece that belies the diversity of its peoples, living standards, and awe-inspiring natural environment – from islands with beautiful beaches to jungles with some of the world’s most fascinating creatures. The ‘island’ of Penang, with its World Heritage Listing for its colonial history and architecture is worth several days just wandering the streets especially in the Indian section, where an alternative culture is very prominent.
Loved the pics, you know how to whet an appetite! The man with the white beard looks uncannily like a man I once worked for in Greece – separated at birth maybe?
