Malaysia |
This Southeast Asian country is a stark difference to the Mekong region countries in that it’s a moderate Muslim state with a vibrant society steeped in old courtesies and respect for foreigners, and far advanced in its economic and political development. Just a hop away from sizzling Singapore across the Causeway is the historic city of Melaka (Malacca as the British spelt it). It was an ancient port-city that held sway over lands on both sides of the Straits of Malacca in the 15th century but declined in importance even as successive colonial control of the Portuguese, Dutch and British tried to buttress it. It lost its port status to Penang and Singapore, the other two port-cities forming the Straits Settlements of the British era. Penang also became laid-back and herein lies its charm, whereas Singapore dashed ahead in a building frenzy. Amidst all this rush into modernity, Malaysia has kept its pockets of tranquility in its hill resorts, quiet beaches, low-keyed towns and villages.

Singapore |
This compact modern city of soaring skyscrapers and functional infrastructures has a Chinese majority of sophisticated yet conservative people always on the go.

As this destination is the beginning or the end of a tour, you can arrive a few days earlier or stay back later as an extension of your chosen package.
