Malaysia, which is the country that I am born in. One of the best country in the world that offers many variety of options for traveling, food and many other things. IF you are looking for extreme challenge then you can go for a hike at Mt. Kinabalu that stood 4,100 above sea level.

Hiking or extreme doesnt suit you then we do have one of a best dive side in the world which is Sipadan island with crystal clear water. . .

or some sight seeing caves, Kek Lok Si Temple in Penang, Melaka with world heritage site, and many other more.

NOt only that, in our modern and busiest city which is Kuala Lumpur we proudly have our Petronas Twin Tower standing tall there to amaze many people around the region.

As a  multi ethnic country, food of course is one of the items that we are proud off..

Penang Hill or known as Bukit Bendera which refers to Flagstaff hill or with the meaning the most develop peak at Penang island some time ago . . It is also one of Penang famous tourist attraction, or a place must visit during stay in Penang.
