Malaysia: Sipadan Island

On Monday I got my first postcards from Malaysia and one card from Germany.

Malaysia is a country in Southeast Asia consisting of 13 states and federal territories. Malaysia is bordering on Thailand, Singapore, Indonesia and Brunei. The capital of Malaysia is Kuala Lumpur. Malaysia is one of the few Elective monarchies in the world.

One card shows the Sipadan Island belonging to the state of Sabah and lying in the Celebes Sea. Just near the beach is a 600 metre vertical drop-off and thus it is a famous diving site. Many turtles are living in the clear water.

Stamp:
750 years Melaka (from set of two) (issued 07-10-2012)

Thank You very much Caroline!
