Global Festival of Learning – Malaysia 2016
Malaysia is a multi-cultural, lingual, magical and mystical place. It is a young nation of 24 million people. The capital of this South East Asian country is Kuala Lumpur which means ”Muddy Estuary” in the Malay language. Due to the high diversity of the population, the fusion of cultures is evident in the Malay cuisine. Malaysia is known as the “Food paradise of South East Asia”. Malaysia is a developing country with a modern edge. It invests highly in technology and enjoys moderate oil wealth. It is therefore the richer nation in Southeast Asia. In 2015 Malaysia received 25.7 million visitor.
