Malaysia is one of the Asian Dragons. Located in South-East Asia, it basically consists of two parts; the Peninsula, bordering with Thailand in the North and Singapore in the South, and the island of Borneo, where you find the states of Sarawak and Sabah, East-Malaysia.
Malaysia is one of the most pleasant, hassle-free countries to visit in South-East Asia. Malaysian society is based on a vibrant and interesting fusion of Malay, Chinese, Indian and indigenous cultures and customs. Still the Chinese are the mostly active in trade and Malay mostly in government.
Most visitors to Malaysia stick to the Peninsula, with Kuala Lumpur as the most important place to explore the country from. When you need a little rest after KL's fast paced life, head for the Cameron highlands, Langkawi, historic Melaka or the interesting Pearl of the Orient, Penang.
If you are the adventurous type, your destination should be Sarawak or Sabah (East-Malaysia), on the island of Borneo, with their spectacular wildlife, longhouses and Mount Kinabalu.
