Singapore, Singapore - This diamond-shaped island just off the coast of Malaysia gleams with skyscrapers in its business district, but as you delve more deeply into this city-state, you'll uncover a delightful mix of cultures, religions, ancient treasures along with traces of its British colonial perios that combine to form a unique, Singaporean identity. The cultural fusion is perhaps best expressed in Singapore's unofficial language, Singlish, a unique patois of English, Chinese and Malay.
Penang, Malaysia - Often called the "Pearl of the Orient," this northern gateway to Malaysia is the country's oldest British settlement. Although best known for its breathtaking beaches, sites such as Khoo Kongsi, a well-preserved ancestral Chinese clan house, and the Butterfly Farm, the world's first tropical live butterfly exhibition are among the must-sees on the list for this amazing destination. You can also visit one of two great Buddhist temples here: Kek Lok Si Temple, which includes a a tortoise sanctuary or Wat Chayamangkalarm, home to an enormous statue of the reclining Buddha.
Phuket, Thailand - Phuket is Thailand's largest and most visited island, known for its stunning scenic beauty and gorgeous beaches lined with palm trees, plus fabulous coves and bays. Water sports include sailing, diving, and snorkeling. Golf enthusiasts will love the championship courses, while nature lovers will be thrilled by the tropical forests and waterfalls. Tour historic mansions and top off the day enjoying the extensive nightlife.
