17. Malaysia

After experiencing Indian craziness, we felt like being back in the Western world when getting to Kuala Lumpur, the capital of Malaysia. The city is green, very modern and clean. Besides the Petronas towers the attractions are limited though. In Malaysia we were also joined by our friends from home for two weeks - quality time!

Jonas amazed by the towers - what a spontaneous reaction!

Georgetown on Penang was our next stop as our friend Claudius was working there as an intern. The island on the West Coast of mainland Malaysia offers an interesting mix of Chinese, Indian and Malaysian culture and of course cuisine. This and the beautiful nature (including some really nice beaches) make it definitely a place that is worth a visit.

Even though we saw only a part of Malaysia, I can say that it is a beautiful island with a relaxed atmosphere. As it is a muslim country, alcohol is a little expensive, but the cheap food definitely compensates!
