Malaysia is a large country, with dozens of islands as well as the main peninsula, where you'll find the capital city of Kuala Lumpur. It also contains a diverse mix of cultures; there's the indigenous Malay people; the remnants of Portuguese, Dutch, and British colonial rule; and most cities have a Chinatown, Little India, and Arab Quarter now. I spent a week here almost two years ago, which gave me a few days each in
Penang,
Kuala Lumpur, and
Melaka, all on the main peninsula - I didn't have time to see any of the islands! Although it was a short trip, I still saw a lot of the cultural diversity in that time!
