Malaysia was a fun country to visit. I had no set plans for it when I arrived and just went with the flow of what people said to see and do. I wish I would have gave myself more time for Malaysia as it’s not a big country, but it is spread out and there are many things to see. I never made it to the east side of the country that is connected to Indonesia but will have to save that for another trip sometime. In 7 days I was able to see it’s capital and all its highlights, one of their most beautiful islands and drink tea in the highlands. Not bad for a weeks worth of traveling but if your going to go to Malaysia I would recommend a couple weeks at least.
In some ways I think its a better option for a backpacker then Thailand. Yeah Thailand has the night life, crazy beach parties and cheap food but I found Malaysia to be better in a lot of aspects. Over all I thought it was a little cheaper, people were friendlier (Go-go girls in Thailand don’t count as friendly…as that’s their job) and everyone speaks English. If I come back to Asia again I think I will make KL, Malaysia my hub next time. With Air Asia’s headquarters there you can get a flight to about any country in Asia, direct, for less then $80 USD. Countries include: Bali, Hong Kong, Singapore, Manchu, Taiwan, China, India, Thailand, Cambodia, Sir Lanka, Philippines, Bangladesh, Vietnam, Laos… plus cities like Perth, Melbourne, London exc make it a great option.
Below are some streets shots of people I got while there. Just random pictures captured here and there and found people were more then willing to let me photograph them here in Malaysia.
Forget Obligation Go Global…it’s my odyssey!
