    Default Invitation To Malaysia

    Don't know if this is the right thing to do as per your custom, but Malaysians tend to be very friendly and hospitable.
    As such, I am inviting all the people here, should they have the chance and the opportunity, to have a holiday in Malaysia.

    I live in a small town in Padang Meiha, in the state of Kedah, West Malaysia. I am only 30 minutes away from the famous Island of Penang (discovered by Sir Francis Light many many moons ago).

    Where I live is quite near some reserves forests. On the Penang Island, there is the smallest National Park in the world, known as the Teluk Bahang National Park or the Penang National Park.

    We have a bigger National Park in the state of Pahang on the east coast and the famous Endau Rompin National Park.

    I will not promise you the world, but one thing you can be sure of, I will be able to take you around and for a few hikes at least. For those who are away from the sea or ocean, and would like to savor some sun, humid climate, hiking in the humidity, in the rain, donate your blood to the local hungry leeches and enjoy the vast array of local Chinese, Malay, Northern Indian and Asian cuisines, you are welcome to visit Malaysia.

    Nope, this is not in conjunction with the Visit Malaysia Year....this is just a welcome to you from the bottom of my heart!

    Sincerely
    Tokwan or Faz Harris.

    I haven't traveled out of the country in 26 years.
    If I ever make it to Malaysia, I will definitely let you know!

    Man, last week I was invited to visit Malaysia. We had business clients that visited us here in the states. We are starting a new project. So, who knows, I might make it there.

    Went as a vendor to the LIMA Langkawi Air Show in 1995 where we rigged a RHIB for airdrop using the system made by the company I worked for at the time. Malaysia was a wonderful country.

    Food alone would be a good enough reason to visit as far as I'm concerned.
    They are not afraid of hot 'n spicy.

    That was great! My wife's brother in law runs a small motel on the area Black Sand, its called the Black Sand Motel in Langkawi. Its facing the sea. Yes , Langkawi is a beautiful place, but it was even more beautiful 20 years ago, when development was less.

    I imagine Malaysians are as hospitable as you say, and the country seems to be interesting and beautiful. "Fa'fetai tele lava" (thank you very much, in Samoan)

    Will do. Although I think arriving in Malaysia and running around going "Does anybody know Tokwan? Friendly guy. Likes the outdoors and country music" would have been way more entertaining.
