Malaysia, Asia travel resource.

Malaysia,Asia.

Malaysia has fervently embraced modern technology -- it boasts two of the world's tallest skyscrapers and a huge cyber center for computer businesses. But it still has some of the world's most remote jungle (in Sabah and Sarawak), one of Southeast Asia's most vibrant old ports (Georgetown) and an atmospheric colonial hill station (the Cameron Highlands). Even in Kuala Lumpur, the capital, which bristles with ambitious new building projects, you can still find exotic markets and plenty of local color. As a result, travelers to Malaysia can easily ratchet up or down the levels of adventure and comfort they want to experience.
Like many of its neighbors, Malaysia suffered damage and loss of life from the tsunamis that struck Southeast Asia in December 2004. Much of the nation was shielded from the impact of the waves by Sumatra, but northern regions, especially the island of Penang, suffered extensive damage.
