The Malaysian people are very kind from what I know, I grew to know many when helping organize Buddhist teachings when we lived in Chicago. I want to visit someday and see all the old Buddhist temples!

Yeah, they are very nice; my parents live in Penang and that is where I would suggest you go; a small island but a great place to visit. Then you can go north to Thailand which is also phenominal! However, they don't speak english nearly as well unless you are in tourist heavy places.
