I have been to Malaysia several times but until now, have not really taken the time to appreciate how vibrant and unique the architecture of Malaysia really is! How interesting!

I think most tourists tend to say the Twin Towers are at the top of their list. Maybe they haven’t really had a chance to see these other great places that often get overshadowed by the Petronas Towers.

Cool pictures.. I have heard and seen a lot about Malaysia.. On Television of course.. It has had a great history too. It is so close from India.. I’m told flying from Bangalore to Imphal (Both the cities are in India)is far more expensive than flying to Malaysia.. Unfortunately, people here don’t make that effort to apply for a tourist visa
