<p><script src="http://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/show_ads.js" type="text/javascript"></script>Pulau Redang, or simply Redang as it is commonly known as, is one of the largest islands in all of Malaysia. This is by far one of the most popular holiday islands in the country and is known for having a wide variety of packaged deals for tourists. While snorkelling, diving, and sun tanning are the main draws there is a lot more to Redang when you research beyond the surface. The group of 9 islands offers something for everyone and has all of the ingredients for you to put together an unforgettable Malaysia vacation.<br />
<a href="http://www.vacationsmalaysia.net/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/long_beach_redang1.jpg"><img src="http://www.vacationsmalaysia.net/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/long_beach_redang1-e1265364804972.jpg" alt="Redang Island" title="long_beach_redang" width="600" height="450" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-209" /></a></p>
<p>Vacationers can access Redang, which is in fact a marine park in and of itself, from boat tours operated from Merang or Kuala Terengganu. For the more affluent there are also air charters that set off from Kuala Lumpur and Singapore to this magical destination. </p>
<p>A few of the big draws for scuba divers heading to Redang, especially for scuba divers, is the fact that the island has been classified as a sea turtle conservation site and also the infamous dive sites of shipwrecks such as the HMS Repulse and the HMS Prince of Wales. </p>
<p>Thanks to the unrivalled visibility and easy access to coral reefs, it is hard to argue against a dive vacation to Redang Island. Even a short jaunt from popular beaches will allow snorkelers and scuba divers to encounter a vast array of marine life such as reef sharks and impressive moray eels. Even the most inexperienced divers can take quick lessons and get out into the shallow water where some of the most colourful and beautiful creatures lurk below. </p>
<p>Beyond the popular dive sites, Redang Island is also known for its seemingly endless sandy, white beaches. The beaches are dotted with enormous palm trees, mirror like crystal clear water and coral reefs that are unrivalled in a number of Southeast Asia vacation spots. Long Beach is by far one of the most popular beaches in the area and is the home of some of the more impressive resorts on the island. But for those looking for something a little more secluded and private, Teluk Dalam is a wonderful place to start. In all, Redang Island offers absolutely everything that you could want from a tropical island and is the idyllic setting for a romantic getaway or a care free family vacation. </p>
<p>Recently the popularity of Redang Island has been booming thanks to the protected status that keeps the natural beauty and atmosphere of the island pristine as can be. The area easily offers everything that combines to make the perfect, full-filled, island vacation. Warm tropical waters, delicious restaurants, lively night life, and unforgettable beaches are just a few of the things you will encounter when taking a Malaysia vacation to Redang Island. The next time you consider planning a tropical getaway, bump Redang Island up to the top of your list and experience what thousands of travelers consider to be one of the most magical islands on the planet. </p>

<img src="http://www.vacationsmalaysia.net/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/Sipadan-2.jpg" alt="Sipadan-2" title="Sipadan-2" width="200" height="150" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-200" />Pulau Sipidan is known worldwide as one of the most unique locations in all of Southeast Asia. The waters here offer some of the most infamous and magical diving spots in the world, as the water is an unforgettable indigo blue color. The array of tropical fish and the dark, deep waters helped Sipadan become the Best Beach Dive in the World in 1993. It really doesn’t get that much better for divers.</p>
<p>The waters boast some of the most awe-inspiring marine life and even a ten minute dive into the water can get you up close and personal with thousands of reef fish and coral so bright and colourful you would think you had become part of a painting. Take the time and stick in Sipadan for a while and you can tour areas such as Barracuda Point, the Hanging Gardens and the Turtle Cavern. What is even better is the fact that so many professional diving companies in Sipadan offer full packages that include dive equipment, food, accommodation, and provides an experience you will never forget. </p>
<p><img src="http://www.vacationsmalaysia.net/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/Sipadan-11.jpg" alt="Sipadan-1" title="Sipadan-1" width="200" height="150" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-200" /><br />
Sipadan is home to some of the rarest diving scenes in the world over. You can dive down and watch hawksbill turtles nest, green turtles mate, and sit back and watch massive schools of barracuda swim by and monstrous trevally swirl overhead. </p>
<p>No scuba diver can feel complete without at least one trip to Sipadan in Malaysia. However, snorkelers should not feel left out either as there are a number of wonderful reef spots that offer some dazzling sites as well. There are more than a few operators that will give snorkelers a round trip package to the island and show them the best spots.</p>
<p>Unfortunately for tourists, the island of Sipadan has been shut down in order to preserve its natural beauty and wildlife. Diving is of course still permitted and day trips run out of the town of Semporna. Your best bet if you plan to stay in the area for a few days is to head to one of the nearby islands instead. You can find high end resorts and affordable hotels on the islands of Kapalai and Mabul which are both less than 30 minutes from Sipadan. </p>
<p>If you plan a Malaysia vacation to Sipadan then you are most likely an avid diver, but the nearby Mabul Island also offers a lot for vacationers. The island is an eclectic blend of local communities, fishers, and spots that have sprung up thanks to tourism. This is one destination where you will have to plan far in advance in order to visit as it is almost impossible to find open spaces in the hotels or for the dive packages. </p>
<p>Sipadan is in fact one of the most popular dive spots in the entire world, so there is no doubt you will not be the only one looking to book that perfect, dive vacation in Malaysia. You may even want to consider booking now in order to get the very best spot on one of the very best vacations in the world. </p>

Don’t waste any more time, this article has provided you more than the insight that you actually needed to get inspired to visit Tioman Island.

<p>Malaysia has truly been the hub for Asian culture. Multiculturalism like nowhere else in the world has made it a tourist hot spot over the recent years. The diversity exists not only in the culture but also in the physical beauty. From skyscrapers in the most modernized cities to the wooden houses built on stilts, the country will make you gasp.</p>
<p>The country allures you with a lot of attractions. And this article will take you through a journey covering almost everything that you’d miss out on in case you don’t visit this wonderland. The recently developed metropolitan of Kuala Lumpur, has some of the tallest skyscrapers. The Petronas towers are the second highest buildings in the world and can blow your mind off with their architecture. The city also gives you a lot of shopping opportunities with its huge shopping malls. Apart from the towers and malls, the city also keeps its traditions alive with its culturally rich areas like the Bukit Bintang and Chinatown, where you can even shop for almost every taste and budget. That is not it wither, the KL bird park, Aquaria KLCC, National Planetarium, National Science Centre, Library and Cineleisure Damansara, Putrajaya cruise add laurels to the most coveted city by the tourists. All in all it has anything and everything to offer that a tourist spot can boast of.</p>
<p>Moving on to the Tioman islands located in the South China Sea. It is beauty at its best. It is known for its dragon like appearance, which also reminds us that it is not the only attraction of this place. Nature has blessed this place like nothing else. Tropical jungles, vivid flora and fauna, mountains, waterfalls and diverse aquatic life, do you want more? Amazing beaches and golden sand, the place is a sheer bliss. Furthermore, if you don’t happen to be satisfied with golden sand then Malaysia also has white sand for you. Lo!</p>
<p>This is something which only Redang island can boast of. Easily accessible coral reefs distinguish it from many other counterparts. This is the ‘it’ place for scuba divers. Without any exaggeration it is the best spot for you to spend the weekends. Langkawi, the place of islands, beaches and sight seeing. Beaches, namely, Pantai Cengang, Pantai Tengah and Pantai Kok, if you are a true beach lover you can’t afford to miss out on them. Islands, Pulau Payar Marine park, Pulau Rebak and many more, think breathtaking islands, think Malaysia.</p>
<p>To many people, Penang represents Malaysia like no other place. It is a true blend of modernity and tradition. Also, it has been declared by the UNESCO as world cultural heritage site. Famous as the food capital of Malaysia it offers you a wide range of delicious cuisines and delicacies.</p>
<p>On the contrary to places like Penang and Kuala Lumpur there is a place called Malacca which has existed for a much longer time and is quiet and blissful. Malaysian tradition can be seen at its peak in Malacca. Slopping rooftops, micro culture and a lot of heritage to boast these are the ingredients that go in to make this wonderful place. </p>
<p>Taman Negara is a place that boasts bio-diversity like none else. Taman Negara basically means a ‘national park’. So, that explains it for you the speciality of this special, special place. It’s a tropical rain forest and one of the world’s best kept natural wonders, not to be found anywhere on the face of this earth. It also is famous as the oldest jungle in the history of jungles.</p>
<p>Coming up is another national park by the name of Gunung Mulu. Given the spectacular view and nature at its best, no wonder, Gunung Mulu has been declared as a UNESCO world heritage site. Having told you so much about the beaches and a series of natural parks, don’t think Malaysia does not have anything else to offer. There are oodles of things for you to explore you might get tired exploring but there is no way that Malaysia will run out of surprises for its guests.</p>
<p>Now for some mountains, Mt. Kinabalu is another tourist attraction of Malaysia. It is the highest mountain of South East Asia. It offers an awesome trek to the tourists through the lovely oak forest. Also, very rare flowers and trees welcome you on your way. It is a privilege for the tourists to come across such a naturally rich spot. Next on the list is the Cherating beach. Last but off course not the least. It is a place which offers sloping white sand beaches which for years has attracted backpackers from all over the world. One of the famous souvenirs is the self made batik. Cultural shows, namely Wayang Kuilt and Silat form a part of the cultural heritage.</p>
<p>So, what are you waiting for? Get set and go to Malaysia.</p>

<p>Kuala Lumpur can best be defined as a world class city. It has easily become of the most vital and thriving cities within all of Asia as the world is taking notice of the booming economy and ever expanding cities. It is unique, stunning, impressive and laid back all at the same time. There are very few destinations that offer such a wide range of activities, attractions and sights in such a unique and attractive manner.</p>
<p>Being the capital of Malaysia, KL is clean, safe, comfortable and one of the most modern cosmopolitan cities in the world. That is often something that people do not expect when they picture a vacation to Kuala Lumpur, even though it should be. While the city has inherited a modern look and feel it has not lost touch with its historical roots. The blend of towering skyscrapers and colonial buildings ensures that the city is the perfect mix of modern flavor and cultural awareness.</p>
<p>In terms of culture there is also quite a wide range of diversity. In fact the word diverse almost sums up what Kuala Lumpur is all about in many ways. There are a number of multilingual and multicultural citizens and Malaysians are quickly becoming known as some of the friendliest people in the world. While Bahasa Malaysia is the official language, the majority of people that you come across will speak English, or at least well enough to converse and help you get around. That is a lot more than some other cities in Asia can boast. </p>
<p>While many vacations depend upon your budget and your interests, a trip to Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia offers plenty for everyone. Whether you are looking for a five star hotel or a budget hostel you are sure to find exactly what you are looking for. If you want an adventurous getaway packed with activities it is easier than ever. If you want to spend your days shopping and your nights enjoying the nightlife then you will surely love it here. There is everything to do for every kind of traveler no matter what budget you are trying to work with. Kuala Lumpur caters to families, friends, couples and singles and offers vacations that no one will soon forget. </p>
<p>All in all, Kuala Lumpur is the place to be if you are looking for a harmonious mix of Eastern and Western culture. While in some cities this culture difference can collide while modern and classical traditions clash, the blend utilized within Kuala Lumpur is priceless and will provide an experience you will not forget. Enjoy the beautiful architecture, some of the best shopping spots in all of Asia, succulent cuisine, entertaining nightlife and friendly people all with one simple vacation. If a getaway from the everyday is what you are looking for while still getting a seamless transition from the life and culture you are used to Kuala Lumpur is the place to be, no question about it. </p>

<p>It&#8217;s that time of year again, time to do something about making your dream vacations become a reality. If you are going to be in the area or desire a dream trip to Malaysia be sure to stop by and spend the day at the <strong>Matta Fair</strong> at the Putra World Trade Center in beautiful Kuala Lumpur. Taking place from September 4th to the 6th from 10am to 9pm each day the event will showcase airlines, travel agents, and hotels from all over the world. This money saving event only comes but twice a year and if you are serious about traveling then there is no better place to be.</p>
<p>These days there seems to be a pretty bleak outlook when it comes to planning a trip and more importantly paying for said trip. That’s why the <strong>Matta Fair</strong> is such a blessing. No where else will you find such amazing opportunities associated with travel. In the past exhibitors have pulled out all the stops to provide customers with the best deals on their dream vacations.</p>
<p>This year there will be more than 800 booths and close to 200 exhibitors catering to the needs of the 70,000 expected visitors. The experience itself is well worth the visit. Visitors not only have the chance to browse through thousands of travel offers but they also get to ask questions to and receive advice from all the experts in the industry.</p>
<p>The fair will have three halls just like previous years. With one dedicated to local travel and the others showcasing locals from all over the world. Each promises to be offering there own specials and deals to attract their customers. Deals like the MATTA Card from EON Bank provide visitors with the card special deals such as VIP entry and gifts like Samsonite luggage. For holders of the card there will also be deals on buying 46&#8243; and 36&#8243; sharp LCD screen televisions. All deals aside though there is going to be a lot more going on during this weekend then just some great giveaways.</p>
<p>The fair promises to be as entertaining as it is beneficial for shoppers. There will be daily performances from bands from the Philippines, Taiwan, and Korea. There are performances from Nickelodean Dancers as well as shows put on by Thai cultural dancers. Everyday there is a leisure travel challenge that has wonderful prizes to give away and Firefly will be hosting a prize ceremony and draw at the end of each day.</p>
<p>So be sure to get to the <strong>MATTA fair</strong> this September and grab the greatest deals there are on travel. Remember it only happens twice a year and its best to get there early and get to the front of the lines to have the opportunity to plan the trip of a lifetime. What do you want to do? Where do you want to go? The MATTA fair can make all of your vacation dreams come true and help them also come true under budget. The stop by the Putra World Trade Center and make those dreams a reality.</p>

<p>Over the past few years Malaysia has been recognized for its elegant beauty and exceptional hospitality. The country boasts a number of incredible marvels as well that attract tours and expats from all over the world. From exciting festivals to towering skyscrapers to unmatched natural beauty Malaysia really does have it all. While a city such as Kuala Lumpur boasts a modern and exciting feel you can also get up close and personal with historic culture and a laid back way of life in other cities nearby. All in all the history, wildlife, culture, nightlife and people make it an incredible place to visit either for the short term or the long term.</p>

<p>Life in Malaysia</p>
<p>Malaysia itself is located in Southeast Asia and the capital is Kuala Lumpur. The country shares its border with Indonesia, Brunei, Singapore and Thailand. One of the more interesting facts about Malaysia is that while it is known for such sights at the Petronas Towers, it is also classified as one of the 18 most diverse countries in the world. This is in large part due to the varied range of wildlife and plants in the area. In terms of the climate one can expect rain showers at any time while the weather is tropically hot all year round. Each day can get up to 35 degrees at any time while the nights offer cool yet comfortable weather.</p>
<p>In terms of the government in Malaysia, the country utilizes a federal constitutional elective monarchy. The population has grown to over 25 million and is on the rise every year. When it comes to religion the country also offers quite a bit of diversity as people follow Islam, Christianity, Hinduism, Buddhism and others. While Malay is the official language there are a large number of citizens who speak English as well.</p>
<p>Travel and Living in Malaysia</p>
<p>In comparison to a number of other countries Malaysia is definitely on the rise and has been able to hide a bit from the recession. The recent economic boom has lead to an increased GDP that has grown to over $14,000 per capita. In terms of jobs, there are opportunities for expats to land positions in industries such as manufacturing, IT, tourism or through government jobs within the chamber of commerce or an embassy. The trouble is that it can be quite difficult to obtain a work visa unless you have a specified trade. In terms of what sort of salary you can expect, on average people make between $1,000 and $1,500 Malaysian Ringgits each year.</p>
<p>If you are looking to take a vacation to Malaysia then the best time of year is said to be right between June and August. This of course does vary for personal opinion although you do want to may be steer clear of the country around December and January. The booming economy, acceptance of tourists and generally low cost of living has ensured that Malaysia is and will continue to be a vacation paradise for people all over the world.</p>

Malaysia is by far one of the most emerging and growing nations in the entire world. The economy in general is booming and tourists are flocking to the area to understand exactly what is so special about this unique destination. Let’s take a look at some fast facts about Malaysia and what exactly it has to offer expats, travelers and citizens alike.</p>
<p>Malaysia is a federation that is made up of 11 states, as well as 3 federal territories and two states within Borneo. Peninsular Malaysia sits just below Thailand and just above Singapore while the states of Sabah and Sarawak are bordered by Indonesia and Brunei. </p>
<p>In total, Malaysia takes up about 329, 758 square kilometers and has an ever growing population of just over 25 million people. The highest point within Malaysia is Mount Kinabalu which is located inside Kinabalu National Park in Borneo. The coastline consists of 4,675 kilometers and the country boasts a remarkable set of over 200 stunning and unique islands.</p>
<p>The Great Cave located within Malaysia is known for being the site where the oldest human remains ever were found, and the Clearwater Cave is the longest one of its kind in all of Southeast Asia. </p>
<p>Malaysia contains the world’s oldest rainforests and the forests that are located within Sabah contain trees that tower over the world at an astonishing 100 meters plus high. While many people see pictures of the new, modern look of cities like Kuala Lumpur, tourists should not forget how much natural beauty and wildlife the country offers. </p>
<p>In terms of history, Malaysia became independent in 1957 when they broke free from the reign of the United Kingdom. In 1963 the Federation of Malaysia was formed and consisted of Sabah, Sarawak, Malaya and Singapore, although Singapore broke off and formed their own nation just two years later in 1965. </p>
<p>While Malaysia has become known for their booming economy, growing impact on the world and dazzling sights, possibly the best part of visiting the emerging country is the laid back mood and friendliness of the people. Malaysia is a country that will welcome you with open arms. You may ask for directions to get around, you will run into people who are more than willing to show you around and more than a few people will genuinely love interacting with you. </p>
<p>While there have been problems economically and climatically in the past, Malaysia has bounced back with a vengeance and proven that they are becoming a prominent nation. The economy continues to grow at a steady rate while a number of other nations are suffering from a recession and the new architecture and buildings in Kuala Lumpur are showing that they can stand the test of time. </p>
<p>Malaysia is quickly defining itself as a country on the rise and one that is becoming known as one of the best places to visit and vacation to for citizens all over the world. </p>

<p style="text-align: left;">In the previous post, I wrote about 10 reasons why you have to visit Malaysia. In this post I would like to talk about another big reason that is unique to Malaysia &#8211; that is the Malaysian Food!</p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><strong>1. Pasar Ramadan in Malaysia – a 30-day food haven.</strong></p>
<p style="text-align: left;">I like to recommend my foreign friends to come visit Malaysia during the fasting month of Ramadan, which will be around very soon &#8211; end of August. And why is this so? One word: F-O-O-D. For the uninitiated, Ramadan is a special month when Muslims practice utter patience as they fast from dawn till sundown. To cater to the hungry masses (and other eager food lovers like you and me!), pasar Ramadans are set up in the daytime up till after sunset when families return home for break fast. Wherever you can find residential areas, that is where you will also be able to frequent a pasar Ramadan, which offers a dazzling array of food that looks as good as it tastes.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">
<div id="attachment_75" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 501px">
	<img class="size-full wp-image-75" title="A bazar scene in Shah Alam" src="http://vacationsmalaysia.net/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/bazar_shahalam1.png" alt="A bazar scene in Shah Alam" width="501" height="331" />
	<p class="wp-caption-text">A bustling crowd along the bazar</p>
</div>
<p style="text-align: left;">Crowd favorites like the good old kuih variety, the humble nasi lemak, the fragrant nasi kerabu, the juicily tender murtabak and the aromatic satay as well as other equally tantalizing foodstuff can be bought. Then there are also stall owners who shy away from tradition and sold less conventional food such as colorful jellies and sweet caramel puddings. Business is brisk for most pasar Ramadan traders, and one popiah seller in the Klang Valley have been known to sell almost a thousand pieces in a day!</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">
<div id="attachment_73" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 500px">
	<img class="size-full wp-image-73" title="food craves" src="http://vacationsmalaysia.net/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/food-craves.jpg" alt="Crave on!" width="500" height="500" />
	<p class="wp-caption-text">Crave on!</p>
</div>
<p style="text-align: left;">So if you are thinking of sampling the best delicacies Malaysia has to offer, there’s never a better time to visit other than during the Ramadan month. One word of caution though: if possible, don’t shop for food on an empty stomach or you will be tempted to buy up everything in sight!</p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><strong>2. Nasi lemak – truly Malaysia.</strong></p>
<p style="text-align: left;">Nasi lemak. Some loathe it (for its calories!), but most love it and cannot live without it. We are talking about true addicts who wake up each morning and think about what sort of lauk (dish) to go with their nasi lemak. Some like sambal sotong or kari ayam to go with their daily staple of nasi lemak while some like it plain, steaming plate of rice cooked in coconut milk, crispy ikan bilis, fried peanuts, hardboiled egg and all.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">
<div id="attachment_77" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 493px">
	<img class="size-full wp-image-77" title="Nasi lemak - Meal of the day" src="http://vacationsmalaysia.net/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/nasi-lemak.png" alt="Nasi lemak - Meal of the day" width="493" height="324" />
	<p class="wp-caption-text">Nasi lemak - Meal of the day</p>
</div>
<p style="text-align: left;">The beauty of nasi lemak is that you can find it almost everywhere be it in an indoor café or by the roadside. Depending on your mood, you can eat it as a complete meal in the morning, noon or night, or choose to buy a pre-packed nasi lemak to go, which is great as a snack at home when you’re feeling peckish. A little business strategy goes a long way and most nasi lemak traders set up their stalls early each morning near bus stops and commercial buildings to cater to the breakfast crowd.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">Nasi lemak is very affordable and you only need to fork out as little as RM1.00 for a basic pack. However, it is by no means a poor man’s food because this delicacy can be sold in upclass restaurants for as much as RM20.00 depending on the condiments served.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><strong>3. The quest for yummy char kuey teow</strong></p>
<p style="text-align: left;">Malaysians are crazy about their char kuey teow. I should know, because yours truly is a char kuey teow fanatic and love nothing more than a sizzling plate of kuey teow for lunch. Coupled with a tall glass of chilled soya bean and cincau, my meal is complete and my cravings sated.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">For the uninitiated, char kuey teow is basically a dish of fried flat noodles in soya sauce with prawns, bean sprouts, chives, garlic and chili as well as half a gallon of oil thrown in for good measure. And I am only half kidding about the oil. This is not the healthiest dish around but once an aromatic plate of scrumptious-looking char kuey teow is placed before your very eyes and under your nose, all resolutions and your desire to go on a diet will crumble without fail.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">
<div id="attachment_79" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 494px">
	<img class="size-full wp-image-79" title="Char kway teow" src="http://vacationsmalaysia.net/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/char-kway-teow.png" alt="Eat your heart out!" width="494" height="371" />

<p style="text-align: left;">Some say the best char kuey teow originate from Penang, but others will beg to differ. There are foodies who claim that the best char koay teow stalls can be found in Melaka, Klang Valley and even in Kuching. The wise thing to do would be to try them as you stumble upon the stalls and judge the taste yourself. People have been known to get into lengthy arguments about where the tastiest char kuey teow can be bought so if you want to avoid heated debates that may result in a broken nose, stay clear of fierce char kuey teow fans and never attempt to rebuke their char kuey teow recommendations. You have been warned.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">So, have you had your char kuey teow today? <img src='http://vacationsmalaysia.net/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt=';-)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
