Yeah you read it right, there is just a bridge that separates Malaysia from Singapore. And of course, the culture and lifestyle. Situated in southeast part of the continent, Malaysia and Singapore are few of the finest countries of Asia.
I had started my journey with Malaysia. Though the whole Malaysia is an awesome place to stay or even to settle down for long, there are definitely some places to catch one’s attention. I first visited Kuala Lumpur, the national capital of Malaysia. For me, the most obvious place to visit in Kuala Lumpur was the Petronas Twin Towers. I was there around the evening time and I witnessed the beauty of the towers during the sunset. To accompany Twin Towers there was the KL tower, another important landmark.
Then I moved to the Genting Highlands, situated at the hill-top around 55 km from Kuala Lumpur. Genting Highlands is famous for world-class Hotels, Shopping complexes, and the Casino. Breezy weather during evening hours was just like a cherry on the cake. There are a couple of other places which I visited including the Batu caves, Japanese village and the French village. I had also travelled to Malacca, another state in Malaysia having some historical importance with heritage buildings and the architectures.
Being a foodie, I tried all sort of cuisines in Malaysia. I had Thai, Chinese, Yemeni, Indian, Pakistani cuisines. And frankly speaking, I liked them all.
After covering all these places in Malaysia, I crossed the bridge to enter Singapore.
Singapore is definitely one of the most developed nation in the world. Due to time constraints though I did not spend many days in Singapore but I covered many places there. Thanks to the MRT trains and the easily accessible public commute. I first went to Sentosa Islands, the place where the most famous Universal Studio is. You can spend a good time there. I had visited Little India where I felt like I am roaming in India. I had also been to Chinatown.
The finest place in my opinion is the one I visited at the last, Gardens by the Bay. the world-famous architectures and the super tree groves were awesome to see. The laser show and the light show means a perfect end to your trip.
So plan and enjoy your next vacation to Malaysia and Singapore.
Happy travelling 🙂 !!!!
