#places #country
Though my
country
 is small, there are many
places
 of interest spread throughout the
country
. In the Southernmost part of the
country
, where the state of Johore lies, there are some very interesting and beautiful
places
. In Kota Tinggi,
for example
, there are beautiful waterfalls that are visited by many people every day.
Then
, there is Johore Lama, a
place
 of great historical interest. In Johor Bahru, there is a beautiful beach
that is
 visited daily by several people who love the sea. In Batu Pahat, another
town
 in Johore, is Minyak Buku, an interesting
place
 on the coast. As we go towards the North, we arrive at Malacca, the oldest
town
 that the Europeans occupied in Malaya in the past. The influences of the Portuguese and the Dutch can still be seen in many of the buildings there.
Further
 North lies Port Dickson which is well known for its beautiful beaches. In Kuala Lumpur, the capital of Malaysia, there are many
places
 of interest
such
 as Batu Caves, the zoo, and the museum. The city itself is an interesting
place
 to visit. Another beautiful
town
 is Penang, situated on an island. The sea around it makes it the most beautiful
town
 in the
country
.
Finally
, the paddy fields in the Northernmost parts of the
country
 are
also
 very beautiful and interesting to look at. On the East coast of the
country
 too, there are some beautiful towns
such
 as Kuantan and Kuala Terengganu. All these
places
 have indeed made my
country
 an interesting
place
 to live in.
