Wonderful time touring Malaysia

Wonderful time touring Malaysia
Saturday February 10, 2007

I am writing to applaud Malaysia for giving us a fantastic holiday. We have stayed in the country for three weeks and are leaving tomorrow. We have stayed in Kuala Lumpur but have travelled to Cameron Highlands, Genting Highlands, Penang and Taman Negara.

Our favourite experience by far was in Taman Negara.

The locals of Kuala Tahan made us feel welcomed and we were really impressed that they had made an effort to learn the English names of the insects and animals so that we could benefit fully from the tours they provided.

The atmosphere at the floating restaurants was great too and we had a wonderful time chatting with the locals.

One disappointment though was a tendency of people in some places to charge tourists higher prices. Taxi drivers are the obvious culprits but all the ones we met were friendly.

We congratulate the folk in Taman Negara, Kuala Tahan and Cameron Highlands for not overcharging.

We would like to warn all tourists to avoid public toilets at all costs because even the ones you must pay to use are poorly maintained and lack toilet paper.

Malaysians are lovely and Malaysia is a great country. We will recommend friends visit the country.
