Watch The Islands of Malaysia

Joseph continues his "Colors of Malaysia" adventure through multi-cultural, multi-religious Malaysia when we travel to the islands of Penang and Langkawi. Malaysia is a dynamic multi-racial, multi-cultural country that offers a wide range of activities, experiences and natural adventures. From Malaysia's capital city of Kuala Lumpur Joseph travels to the island of Pulau Penang. The island is 171 square miles and jammed packed with things to see and do Although Georgetown is the oldest British settlement in Malaysia and grand colonial structures abound, the historic center is more Chinese than British. Visitors can use the Tourist Office's Heritage Trail guides to navigate on foot, but Joseph explores the winding, narrow streets is by trishaw. From Penang it's a quick hour flight to Pulau Langkawi, one of 104 islands at the northern end of Malaysia on the border with Thailand. Langkawi means Great Eagle and refers to the island being the home of Garuda, a mythical bird. It's just one of many legends that thrive in Langkawi. With water, water everywhere the best thing to do in Langkawi is to get on or in it. Joseph does both on the Island Hopping Tour that was the highlight of our stay in Langkawi.

The Islands of Malaysia is a 2007 action movie with a runtime of 26 minutes.
