This is my favorite science museum. The exterior is stunning, and the interior exhibits and interactions are very good. It was the first time I learned that Leonardo da Vinci was a genius who could do everything, including architecture, painting, sculpture, anatomy, and bridge building. It was the first time I learned about the moon and Mars. It was the first time I learned about genes. There were too many interactions. The children were especially hi

This is the most famous beach in Malaysia. The coastline here is very long and the sea water is very clear. It is a very good choice to sunbathe on the beach. The beach is also very soft. There are also many good restaurants around.
