Nature in Malaysia



















During my internship in Lotus Desaru Beach Resort, I have been travelling to some interesting places in Malaysia. I have seen a lot of greenery in this wonderful country. Started the journey from Cameron Highlands, a vast area of rolling green hills, tea plantations and forest. The temperature in the highlands drops below 10 degrees or climbs above 21 degrees. Walked in the jungle, visited strawberry farms, butterfly farms and tea plantations. You know this movie, called Avatar, a world with blue people? Well I have experienced the Avatar world in the mossy forest, located upon the highest mountain in Cameron Highland. That was so cool! In Cameron Highlands we stayed at the Rainbow hotel, sponsored by our internship company.

After a the adventure in Cameron Highlands, the next visit was Kuala Lumpur, the capital of Malaysia. I have seen the typical icons such as, Twin Towers and Pavilion. Travelling is what Urry mentioned about the Tourist Gaze ''Been there, done that". And so we did. The nightlife in Kuala Lumpur is ok. House Dj's are totally trending, nothing special for us, because here in Holland we have them a lot! Our stay in Lotus Hotel was located at Masjid Jamek, 1 minute walk from the MRT-station. This stay we also got sponsored by my intership company. 

There are a lot more interesting places to visit in Malaysia, such as Sabah and Sarawak. In the future I definitly want to explore the east part of Malaysia.
