 My Experience

Last year, my family and I went to Malaysia. We

stayed there for 5 nights and 6 days. We visited
many places such as Twin Towers, Penang
Island, and many more. We enjoyed the street
food so much. It was cheap and delicious.
However the trip felt so short for us that we
wished to stay longer, but everything was set. I
will never forget such a great vacation.
