Melacca : Melacca is a city full of Malaysian history.  You can still see the influence of colonial times in buildings such as the Christ Church Melaka (built in 1753).  At one point in history, this city was a major hub of international commerce.

Batu Caves : The Batu Caves are located north of the capital city of Kuala Lumpur and function both as a monkey playground and as a hindu shrine.  I don't recall the exact number of steps (I was too busy clinging to the railing to keep from rolling down the shallow steps), but there are a huge number.  Enough that having ascended and descended them once, I never felt the need to return. (Now that I have a better camera, I may well return when I next visit Malaysia to collect some better monkey pictures!)

Kuala Lumpur : After Oregon and Georgia, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia is place I've spent the most time.  Ironically, I probably have taken fewer pictures of Malaysia than most places I've visited since.  The reason for that stems from the same thing that keeps people from visiting the tourist attractions in their home town- familiarity.

Fortunately, I did take a good number of pictures when I first arrived, and then a few years later when I was in town on my way to a holiday in Thailand and Cambodia.
