there is one place i suggest to go at my country..LANGKAWI ISLAND



The 99 legendary islands of Langkawi – each with a beauty and attraction of its own. A unique natural beauty – rich in myths and legends – Langkawi island located in the northern part of Peninsular Malaysia has now become a world tourist center.

Local folklore has it that Langkawi derived its name from the eagle or "helang" as it is known in the Malay language. "Lang" for short and in old Malay, "kawi" denotes reddish brown; hence, Langkawi simply means reddish brown eagle. Where once, a group of 99 islands lay under a curse of a wrongly accused princess, there is today a new beginning, a new light, and as result a new budding and thriving holiday hideaway. The Langkawi you see today has been transformed almost beyond recognition. This is the legendary island where now major international businessmen meet to form new ventures and conclude deals whilst relaxing. The curse that lasted for seven generations can surely be said to have been lifted.

Langkawi offers a wide range of accommodations, from international class hotels to medium and budget class resort and chalets.

Pulau Langkawi’s status as a duty-free port has made it a popular shopping destination. You will be thrilled with the many great buys at its duty-free shops in Kuah town. Among the value for money items are electrical goods, perfume, liquors, confectionery, chocolates and casual wear.

heheh ;-) ..enjoy ......
