Travel Tips from people who've been to Malay Archipelago
009Once you have overcome your jet-lag fatigue, step into the real heart of Malaysia--the citizens of the country. You would be pleasantly surprised at the warmth of Malaysians. For deeply entrenched within each of the different races is the engaging charm and traditional hospitality for which Malaysia is renowned.
Malaysians enjoy meeting people from other lands. So, do go right ahead and strike up a conversation. After all, the whole point of travelling is to know other cultures. Right? ;)
When greeting a Muslim, offer your right hand then bring it towards you, fingertips lightly touching your heart. This is the traditional Salam or 'greeting of acceptance'. Hindus greet with a Namaste (in Hindi) or Vanakam (Tamil). Both palms are brought together as in prayer at mid-chest level. With a Chinese, you may shake hands. If you are really unsure about all the different forms of greetings, just smile and nod your head slightly when introduced.

5234Find a really quiet place in sumatra .. get to lake toba during a week and get off full of energy.. nice place, nothing to do except, speaking and learning from locals, eting good food, doing moto trip until the the hot springs or walking around... or just staying in the terrass of your bungalow reading or playing chess, ping pong with people you meet there....

0251Go where no one else goes. Indonesia Borneo. In the month that I travelled there with my Danish friend only 6 other people. Especially the Island Darawan is a fantastic island. I litterally stumbled over a turtle and saw how she laid eggs. No touristic tours just us two and the turtle.
