Is Malaysia a good place to take a vacation?

Malaysia has some of the most beautiful beaches in the world. The environment is clean, ambiance unbelievably serene and calm. Plus the food and the friendly people, communication both soft and hard is not an issue.

Malaysia's Islamic background makes some people think that it's going to be boring or dangerous. It's far from true, Malaysia is a save country for anyone to travel, people are extremely friendly, natural disasters and storms only seem to happen across the border and the multi-ethnic population gets along well. In short Malaysians are very laid back, warm and friendly.

To know Malaysia is to love Malaysia, A bubbling, bustling melting pot of races and religions where Malays, Indians, Chinese and many other ethnic groups live together in peace and harmony. There are so many thinks to see and do in Malaysia; Why not take a leisurely walk around Penang where wafts of Chinese incense blend with sour durian while Bollywood tunes blast from an Indian shop. After that visit the Cameron Highlands where you can visit colonial tea plantations in the cool air of the highlands; or, on the Seribuat Archipelago, off the east coast of Johor, snorkel through coral gardens and lounge on a beautiful beach. For more adventure head to Taman Negara and track elephants, or how about the adventure to experience the depths of Sarawak and Sabah in the mythical Borneo the second biggest rain forest in the world where you can see wild orang-utans and climb massive Mt Kinabalu south east Asia's 5th highest mountain? Boring? I don't think so.

Malaysia is located against the Straits of Melaka, protected, against swells and tsunamis, this part of the peninsula has welcomed foreign visitors since the days of early traders. Such a convenient shipping route has, over the centuries, created a cosmopolitan culture that is well-schooled in English.

One of Malaysia's key attractions is its extreme contrasts. Towering skyscrapers look down upon wooden houses built on stilts, and five-star hotels sit several meters away from ancient reefs. A fascinating fusion of tradition and modernity, Malaysia's architecture today is a reflection of Asia's many styles, cultures and religions. These influences include Hindu-Indian, Arab-Muslim, Chinese and European. Portuguese, Dutch and British colonization have also influenced local architecture. Now, the country embraces an independent modern Malaysian vision whilst staying true to its rich culture and heritage.

For the perfect holiday full of surprises, eclectic cultures and natural wonders, the time is now, the place is Malaysia.

Why does James Spader seem to have a real life medical problem on Boston Legal Has something happened to him?

Most people who've seen him in real life say he's not that overweight, and that he looks much better. He always looks remarkably better on talk shows. On Boston Legal they seem to film him using unflattering light and camera angels. That can make people look pretty bad. Also, he says he doesn't have time to exercise when filming this show, plus they always have a lot of rich food around. When he's filming a movie, he has much more time to exercise. Plus, he is almost 50 years old. But he still looks cute on talk shows I think. I've read a lot of stuff about him because I'm a big fan! All who know him says he's very nice in real life! I think he's super sexy when he's thinner! Thank you for this contribution. This is an interesting question, as I also have noticed that James Spader is quite rigid in his movements or gross motor skills (on Boston Legal) and have wondered if this is the intent of a character portrayal, or if there is a health issue limiting his actual functioning. However, unless someone else has the information or has researched and found the information, I know of no mention of it. If there is no mention of it, and if there is a medical condition, it is most likely considered private, confidential, and employers as well as reporters have respected this privacy. Wonderful! This is what is best, and what we would all want for ourselves! The mystery shall remain! :) (Unless it is not confidential, and you have the info. ;)...) James Spader, if you ever read this or if it comes to your attention, God bless and the best of health to you! :)

When did the Black Irish come to US?

The term Black Irish was a term of abuse of poor Irish immigrants in the latter half of the nineteenth-century. It refers to the necessity of many of these immigrants taking menial jobs perceived by whites in the USA to be the preserve of Negroes (Blacks). It came about as a result of English/Protestant prejudices imported to the USA by the early colonists who saw the Irish as uncivilised and Catholicism as anti-everything for which Protestantism stood - freedom, democracy, capitalism etc. etc..

Why are so many members of the Luka Boston police and fire departments Irish or descendants of Irish immigrants?

The Irish community has been a big part of Boston for more than one hundred years. Early Irish immigrants found working for the state/city benefitted them. They passed this belief along to their children. But also, and perhaps more important, Irish people have always stuck together, so finding a common ground, such as Catholicism or generations of family members in the same line of work, is deemed important.

The Irish in Boston lived in the poor parts of the city, and took the lowest paying jobs. Policemen were traditionally not paid well, but the work was regular, and better than many laborers positions. When the Boston Police went on strike in 1919, the starting pay had not changed for decades. Under those conditions, it was natural for the Irish to seek out police work. As late as the early post-war years of the 20th century, a streetcar sweeper earned more than a police patrolman.

Is ashford university a good school?

I've been attending AU for over 2 years now and absolutely love it!! I completed my B.A. here and am now 10 months away from my masters degree in organizational management. This is a great school and they work well with working individuals. They are known as one of the most military friendly schools out there. They are regionally accredited, which sets the golden standard for all colleges. There are great to bad reviews, but don't let the bad ones get to you, people like to bash schools they have had bad experiences with even though it is, most of the time, their fault. Take it for me, I've been to the traditional brick and mortar school and online school. Online is my route and do not regret it at all. By the way, I'm getting ready to be promoted at work because of this school.

Thanks AU
