Real Asia
– Baby, in Africa for SPA procedures do not go, – somehow one familiar Africanist told me with pity, which I wanted to order material for the magazine, – go there to look at wildlife. National Parks, Safari. If you do not like animals, there is nothing to do in Africa.
Before going to Malaysia, I thought that the story was the same. But it turned out that love "Only Zverlyushki" Not necessarily – in Malaysia you can arrange a route as an experienced hostess cooks soup: mixing nature with shopping, attractions, SPA, diving or snorkeling.
Chapter 1. Good fly
There are no direct flights to Malaysia, so the road can become a problem, especially for family-run and burdensome children – to fly about 12 hours without docking. If there is an opportunity, it is better to choose emirates: there even in economy class is pretty spacious, you can watch a movie or play games. And the business class is very good. Here you and folded in bed armchairs, and your own large TV, and the choice of dishes on the menu, and – what is important – a business lounge at the airport of docking, Dubai, with the ability to take a shower, eat or go to SPA. But if you suddenly do not have time to do a massage in Dubai, do not be discouraged – quite a decent Ayer SPA and in Kuala Lumpur airport. 20-minute foot reflex-massage will cost only 60 ringgitis (about 600 rubles), after which you will find yourself capable of much. For example, ask the duty officer at the reception map of the city and go towards the adventures in Kuala Lumpur.
Chapter 2. Kuala Lumpur and other animals
Kuala Lumpur is the perfect transshipment point for those who first come to Malaysia. Life is boiling here around the clock: the fact and the case come across families in full – dad, mom, aunt (in black turf) plus a few children walking on the streets at one o’clock. Daily walk hot! Behind the streets of street cafes are late in the evening, both local and tourists are sitting in the evening, and they offer to visit massage salons at every step and in just 29 ringgitis (200 rubles) to make themselves a massage of anything, from legs to head. This "dynamics" Allows the nervous system of freshly-carrying tourists to adapt to Asia, so that after a few days in Kuala Lumpur, the serenity and unevenness of life on some of the Malaysian Isles did not so shocked our brain. And so the switch will occur gradually: in the usual mad rhythm you will run away all local attractions, ranging from Petronas’s towers and ending with a park of birds, learn local shops and markets, we will store local dishes and, satisfied, finally staying on vacation – on Sipadan, Redang or. SO "Blaries" You will start to meet immediately upon arrival in the city. Huge butterflies, sitting on the asphalt, on glass windows or windshields of cars, at first cause photo-excitement photos: frame with butterfly and 88 floors of twin towers Petronas, frame with butterfly and local beauty, frame with butterfly and soup Tom pits. The aggravation of photo-illness usually happens during a visit to the Park of Butterflies, where hundreds of multi-colored lungs are flying a grid under the tightened mesh, the beautiful beauties of all shapes, sizes and colors. And then you get used to and react on insects. In the park of birds is more interesting. And even better – in the aquarium, which is located in the Suria KLCC shopping center in the business center under the towers of Petronas. Go there to admire on floating over the heads of sharks and skates. The main thing is to get to the aquarium through insurmountable for the ladies of thorns – hundreds of shopping center shopping center.
Shopping in Kuala Lumpur is a separate song. Decide you go to the Chinese quarter and buy very believable fake glasses, bags and wallets Prada, Louis Vuitton, will you go to the Petaling market behind the local souvenirs or decide to inspect Respectable shopping centers of type Pavilion or Suria KLCC, – buy another suitcase before leaving home You will probably have.

Sunway Pyramid Shopping Mall in Kuala Lumpur suburb – a giant shopping and entertainment complex, in which there is everything: and Water Park Sunway Lagoon with attractions, and hundreds of stores (from European and American brands to local brands), and restaurants-café-bars, and Hotels and SPA.

Chapter 4. Beaches and fish
Malaysia is such a special place on Earth, consisting of national parks. Mangrove forests, jungle, marine reserves – all this is trying to protect and, if possible, demonstrate to tourists.

Here are going for diving or snorkeling, for hiking tropical forests in search of rare plants, in parks with rare animals and birds, to relax on the islands, where you stay alone with yourself – and nature.

One of them – Sari Pacifi Ca Hotel Resort&SPA, very secluded place. From the door of the house to the beach – a maximum of 50 meters. Fall on indescribable soft, small, like powder, white sand, and meditate, looking at the ocean.

As soon as you wear a mask and immerse yourself in warm turquoise water, meditation will continue – the fish will surround you from all sides.
