In Malacca, modern day comforts blend in with the unique heritage of the city: In its history, Malacca has been part of the Portuguese, the Dutch, the British and the Japanese Empire before becoming part of Malaysia.

Kuala Lumpur's Merdeka Square, a cricket ground in colonial times, is the historic hearth of Malaysia's capital. In the background, the TV tower and Petronas Towers are two more famous icons of the fast-growing city.
