I have to admit I am spoiled when it comes to the mountains. After all one of the perks of staying in Delhi/Gurgaon is that you can travel overnight and be in the Himalayas. So when I realized that Fraser’s Hill (in Pahang, Malaysia) is 1524 meters (5000 feet) in altitude I was quite ambivalent about it. It…

Dance at Sungai Pasu Home Stay, Pahang, Malaysia
I took a short video at the dance presentation at Sungai Pasu home stay at Pahang, Malaysia. Sometimes it is easier to talk via a video than words. You can see three Malaysia Tourism Hunt 2012 participants joining the locals. The gentleman who started it all was from Japan and he was quite popular with…
Food from the Central Market, Terengganu, Malaysia
No trip to Malaysia is complete without a discussion about food. If you like fish and sea food it is going to be a paradise for you. I am a vegetarian though but still there was plenty for me too. Malaysian food is flavorful and actually quite delicious. Rice and noodles are staples so no…
The Spirit of Malaysia Tourism Hunt 2012
Even though Malaysia Tourism Hunt 2012 was suppose to be competitive, I thought the participants were really cool and their lust for travel was much more dominant than any competition. We all ran around hunting for clues in our teams but we had so much fun together! The gentleman in the orange in the picture…
The Dancers from Malaysia
On both my trips to Malaysia I have had the pleasure of watching many dance performances. I do not understand the language but the costumes are really colorful, the movements graceful and the music upbeat. This was the first performance on the Malaysia Tourism Hunt 2012 trip. The group was actually much bigger but I…
Skies around the Hotel Pullman Putrajaya Lakeside
I stayed at Pullman Putrajaya Lakeside twice. The first time was at the beginning of my stay for Malaysia Tourism Hunt 2012. This picture was taken on the morning of our drive being flagged off. We were traveling in a 25 plus car convoy and it would always take some time for all of us…
Redang Island, Malaysia- As Good as it Gets!
I don’t know where to start about my trip to the Redang Island! I had a short stay (I am sure a stay of any length will feel short) at the island and I have left behind a piece of my heart there! It was so captivating. Our hotel the Taaras Beach and Spa Resort…
Anything for a Good Picture
I used to think that I am a bit crazy when I would indulge in some stunts to click a few pictures. But I had a lot of company at the Malaysia Tourism Hunt 2012. Here is a photographer from Taiwan giving gentle directions to the group about how she wants them to stand. She…
Redang Island, Malaysia- A Slice of Paradise
This is the Redang Island in Malaysia. It was a slice of paradise. I feel I spent too little time there! We went snorkeling at the island and it was completely out of this world, really truly beautiful. I am very tired at the moment but I could not go to sleep before I showed you…
Children from the Sungai Pasu Homestay, Malaysia
We visited the Sungai Pasu home stay in the state of Pahang, Malaysia yesterday. It was a charming place but then I am really partial to small places, rural places. But it was the children of the place who really stole my heart. We were greeted by music played by these boys and we walked…
