Malaysia is a predominantly Muslim country, but the Malaysian Population is made up of 3 main races:  The Malays, Chinese and Indian with a few smaller ethnic groups including the expat community.

The amazing thing about Malaysia is the fact that all three races have their holy days acknowledged.  Malaysia probably has more public holidays than anywhere else in the world (except Spain of course!).

It is said, and we can verify this, the the two main occupations of Malaysians is Shopping and Eating.  In our short time here we have seen a bombsite of a city emerge as a cosmopolitan metropolis offering a staggering choice of food and shops.  There is something for every budget.  From Planet Hollywood to Hawker stall, and from Night Market stall to Escada.

The futuristic Petronas Towers dominate the K.L. city skyline - at a height of 452 meters above street level,   I believe they are still the tallest buildings in the world?

On the east coast of Malaysia, the picture is very different (see the picture below).  The industry is mainly fishing, people tend to live a much quieter, less frenetic life.  Very few high rise condominium blocks are in evidence, most of the population live in wooden 'kampung' houses on stilts.  

The east coast islands are beautiful - white powdery sand and crystal clear water surrounding them.  More on these on another page soon!
