Malaysia Things To Do
Malaysia: Diving and snorkeling Diving and snorkeling by adoc
It says there are 3 diving/snorkeling agencies in Langkawi. This is not the cheapest one. I chose it because it looks professional to me. The price difference is not that much anyway. The agency arrange pick up from hotel. Free coffee/tea is offered when arriving the club. It costs 280rm for a 30-min scuba and 2-3 hours snorkeling.

The World's Top 10 Ugliest Buildings

The great thing about travel may be seeing the world through a different lens, but that doesn't mean the view is always pretty. With this in mind, the travel experts at VirtualTourist.com have come up with a list of "The World's Top 10 Ugliest Buildings and Monuments." General manager, Giampiero Ambrosi talks about the selections: "Some of these picks have all the charm of a bag of nails while others are just jaw-dropping in their complexity. Love them or hate them, the list is certainly entertaining."



We LOVE hearing from VirtualTourist members and visitors alike. We frequently get notes just letting us know that you're out there and you're enjoying VT. Very often we'll forward the mail around to the rest of the team, to share the love. Drop us a note, we'd love to hear from you.
