My Malaysia trip didn't turn out exactly as I had hoped because the tour I had booked was awful. I normally hate going on tours because I hate following a schedule when traveling and having to wait for people (ugh, Vietnamese time), but the idea of backpacking around Southeast Asia with my mom is really out of the question so tours were the only way to go.
To say I was disappointed doesn't really capture the anger and frustration I felt during my time there (I learned that I am not as patient as I thought I was and sometimes, I just really don't like people), but despite a not-so-great experience I still am appreciative that I got to visit a foreign country and experience new sights that I would not have otherwise been able to. Malaysia is a beautiful country. It is a lot more modernized and clean than I had expected. In fact, it looked a lot like America, save for the many mosques and sights of women covered in burqas. So, maybe I didn't have the best time there, but I do have pictures. To put a positive spin on it all, this just all means that a second trip to Malaysia will go on my to-do list and that is not a bad thing at all.
Batu Caves, where Hindus go to worship. There were also a whole bunch of monkeys around because the temple inside also worshipped a monkey god. It was the coolest place we visited in Malaysia.
