Malaysia's Diversity Puts It Into Lonely Planet's Top 10 Destinations For 2010

Where: Malaysia

The latest list for 2010 travel trends put out by the Lonely Planet people says something we've been saying for ages: Malaysia is hot.

With budget long-haul carrier Air Asia X turning Malaysian capital Kuala Lumpur into a hub that's easy and cheap to get to from pretty much everywhere, we knew it wouldn't be long before people woke up to all the great experiences they can find in Malaysia itself.

Kuala Lumpur is a pretty sizzling city to stop in on its own. You can get to the top of the Petronas Towers, the tallest twin buildings in the world, or simple over-indulge in cheap food, drink and dancing. Beyond the city, Malaysia gives you beaches, wildlife, islands and pretty much any combination of adventure and relaxation that a tourist could desire.

The Lonely Planet mob who put Malaysia in their top ten said the country's all about diversity: you can dive on a coral reef one day and climb a mountain the next, and choose from Malay, Indian or Chinese cultural influences, which are all local in one way or another. But let it be known that we started spreading the word on Malaysia long before they did.

Other destinations in the top ten include: El Salvador, Germany, Greece, Morocco, Nepal, New Zealand, Portugal, Suriname and the USA.

Last week we stayed in SAM Guest House in Brincnag. It's a new established guest house in town. It's cool and the best we'd stayed in Cameron Highlands so far. It's clean and has the view of the golf course. The owner is very kind and polite. They have blogspot : www.samguesthousehighlands.blogspot.com. For more infos, please read the blog of SAM Guest House. Thank you
