There is a lot to explore when you decide to take on Asia as your next tourist destination. This vast continent is home to loads of different countries, all with their own unique and incredibly diverse cultures, and you’ll want to see as much of it as you can. Even with a smaller area, like Malaysia, there can almost be too much to do. To help you out with this, this post will be exploring and outlining some of the best attractions this Peninsula has to offer. From the human made to the natural, you have a lot of ground to cover.

In The City: Kuala Lumpur

It’s often worth starting your stay in a new country in one of its cities. Kuala Lumpur is the capital of Malaysia, making it a great candidate for this, and there is plenty to sink your teeth into once you arrive. Areas like Mont Kiara are the most popular with tourists, having the most to offer when it comes to Western amenities, giving you the chance to sink into the culture at a steady pace. Below, you can find some of the most popular attractions in the surrounding areas.

Petronas Towers: While their true claim to fame may have passed, a lot of people still fondly remember the Petronas Towers for their brief time as the tallest towers in the world. Today, they are still the tallest set of twin towers across the globe, though, giving them plenty to offer those looking to see something unique. The buildings are joined together in the middle, creating a stunning view which you won’t find anywhere else.

The City Center: Not a lot of people know what to expect when they visit a place for the first time, especially when the culture is so different to their own. You may be surprised to find, then, that the city center in Kuala Lumpur is filled with upscale malls, restaurants, and other luxury businesses which will be a treat for most visitors. There’s nothing like enjoying a meal on top of one of the tallest buildings in a city.

The Bird Park: For those who are interested in nature, the Kuala Lumpur Bird Park is a great place to satisfy your need for something organic. Filled with birds from the local area and neighbouring countries, this is a great place to get an idea of what you might be able to see in the wild, giving you some inspiration for your journey. All of the enclosures are designed to be as close to their natural habitats as possible.

The Aquarium: Some people like birds, some people like fish, and Kuala Lumpur has something of everything on offer. The City’s aquarium boasts over 5000 exhibits, including live feeding shows, and even the chance to get into a shark tank. This sort of experience can’t be found in most places, making it worth taking the opportunity to have it while you can. Of course, though, you may want to check out the safety equipment before diving in.

Malaysia has a lot more to offer than what can be found in Kuala Lumpur, though. Along with this, the regions outside of the city are all brimming with their own unique charm, offering loads of different ways to use your time one your done with the urban areas. Of course, when you’re exploring places like this, it’s worth doing your research, as it’s simply impossible to cover everything in a single blog post.

Cameron Highlands District

Filled with dense woodland, giant flowers, and loads of wildlife, the Cameron Highlands District is a far cry from the hustle bustle of the city you’ve come from. Developed in the 1930’s, the region is well known for the range of different activities on offer. Of course, though, in an area like this, most people will be more interested in simply soaking up the sights, as this region is incredibly beautiful.

Tioman Island

While it isn’t part of the mainland, Tioman Island is a treat for anyone who has the chance to explore it. Surrounded by white sandy beaches, the rainforest interior is rich with wildlife, ranging from birds to monkeys. On one side of the landmass, you will find a turtle nursery, offering the chance to see these rare creatures hatching if you go at the right time of year. Of course, though, you will have to remember to book yourself a boat to get there.

There’s nothing quite like enjoying a beautiful view surrounded by nature when in the comfort of your own home. Those of you who are lucky enough to have a yard or a terrace can definitely make the most out of your outdoors. After all, a terrace can turn out to be your very own escape from stress and worries, a place to entertain your friends, and a place to relax and unwind. If you already have a terrace but want to boost its appeal and functionality, keep on reading!

Paint your terrace furniture

If you have wooden chairs or tables on your terrace and don’t want to change them since they are in very good condition (or you simply want a budget-friendly makeover), what better way to add a different and modern touch than by giving them a fresh coat of paint in the shade that’s completely to your liking? Just make sure that the new colour is not overly bright and strong so that you can match the furniture to the overall aesthetic better. Still, keep the natural wood element as it can effectively bring a Zen aspect to your terrace design in one way or another. This will add pleasant warmth that would be very difficult to achieve with brighter and colder materials such as metal or plastic.

Plants and flowers everywhere

Green is the colour that is known to have a relaxing effect and reduce stress. So, don’t miss the opportunity to introduce this lively colour to your terrace with the help of all kinds of plants and flowers. Aside from creating a refreshing and relaxing environment, plants and flowers can boost the privacy and add their own modern touch to a vibrant space. In that respect, try to pick the plants and flowers that match well in colour. Don’t hesitate to use plenty of white in your terrace décor either. White will bring freshness and simplicity to the exterior, which will help you avoid the possible colour overload that flowers can sometimes create, especially if you have a large terrace space.

Although we have to applaud all the designers from the three other fashion capitals for their inventiveness, when it comes to color and joy, no one does it like Milan. It’s a fact that no one can deny. Not only did Milan snag all of the biggest names and supermodels, but it once again showed proved why it belongs in the mighty foursome. We have a number of amazing designers to cover during fashion months, so let’s not delay gratification. Let’s just dive in and see what it is we’ll all be wearing come spring. After all, whatever these names say is hot, is bound to appear in every fast-fashion store in a New York minute. So, even if you can’t afford a Versace outfit, we’re sure you’ll find something inspired by it.

A whole lot of everything

You might have expected Dolce and Gabbana to turn a new leaf, but the power duo has remained true to the brand’s old vision. That means that there were plenty of extravagant florals, religious motifs, and sultry dresses reminiscent of the ‘50s and ’60s. What is new is that they have, in a way, expanded their potential client base as the runway consisted of women of different shapes and sizes. It featured models, celebrities and even ‘real people’. One of the most poignant looks was the fitted sultry dress worn by Monica Bellucci, in one of the more surprising patterns for this brand – simple polka dots. This dress would look amazing on so many women, especially if elevated with a pair of gorgeous high heel sandals. Other designs are what you would expect – plenty of ruffles and layers, lace, ostentatious floral suits and dresses and heavy embroidery on the suits, both men’s and women’s.

Metallic galore

The Gorgio Armani show was highly consistent. Not that the designs were boring, far from it, there was high versatility present, but the color palette seemed to follow a kind of a metallic and holographic silver theme, although a few other iridescent hues were present as well. The entire collection, probably due to the choice of fabric had an almost futuristic feel to it. However, it still remains highly wearable, especially in the light of the fact that everything metallic is all the rage at the moment. From suits to dresses, everything is incredibly wearable, unless you don’t like the icy tones. In that case, you might want to skip this one.

If you feel that you are somewhat lacking in a sense of real, distinct style, you might want to look into what you can do to change that. We all want to have our own style, and sometimes it is necessary to look into things you can do to make it even more unique or different from others. But that can be hard to do, and what’s more it's the kind of thing which i have to workout the details for yourself if it is to work at all. In this article, however, we are going to give some pointers as to the kind of things you can do to ensure that you are going to have a unique and enjoyable style which you can call your own. Consider the following as a means to making that happen.

One USP

You can think of this in terms of selling a product, as much of the same theory applies. In order to stand out and have a unique style, you can think of what your own Unique Selling Point might be. That can basically be anything that is a little different from most of the people around you - or even if it’s not that different, just something that is undeniably you and suits you to the ground. That could be something as small as a tongue piercing from a favourite tongue piercing webshop, or it might be a hair colour that is considered unusual, or whatever you want. As long as you have that one UPS to focus on, you will find that your style has a kind of focus which can enable you to get to grips with it much more effectively. You’ll be surprised at what a difference this truly makes.
