Day 1 Activities

Please click on the ‘World Map’ tab on the main menu. It will bring you to a big map. The map has six pins, one for each of the six countries. Click on the name of each country to read the Quick Facts about that place. After you have finished reading about the six countries you must choose ONE country that you would like to visit. In your blog list the name of the country and explain why you have chosen to travel to that country.  You will need to remember the country that you have chosen because you will be visiting it each day.

Malaysia: Blog Post 4pts.

After reading the quick facts I would like to visit malaysia as I want to explore the awesome beaches and rainforests; things they’re known for. Also experience the capital Kuala Lumpur to see the colonial buildings and skyscrapers especially the iconic 451m-tall Petronas Twin Towers.
