I am continuing my project that I was called upon by my company. I started in Stuttgart, Germany and now in Malaysia until final design. So in a nutshell I got paid to travel!

North of us is Thailand, and Singapore is just a 3/4 hour drive south Kuala Lumpur. Singapore is another country, not a Malaysian city.
Weather?
Tropical without extremely high temperatures. Days are very warm and often humid, while nights are fairly cool. The main rainy season in the east runs between November and February, while August is the wettest period on the west coast. East Malaysia has heavy rains (November to February) in Sabah and in Sarawak. However, it is difficult to generalise about the country’s climate, as rainfall differs on the east and west coasts according to the prevailing monsoon winds (northeast or southwest). Average daytime temperatures in Kuala Lumpur are around 27°C (82°F) year round.
