Tourists lap up Malaysian hospitality

KUALA LUMPUR: Maybe it is the sunny weather or the relaxed pace of life in Malaysia that is making Russian tourist Lena Tupitsyna feel as if everybody in Malaysia is on holiday.

“I feel as if everybody is on holiday here. I don’t know why but it’s very relaxing and there’s a holiday spirit in the air,” said the 28-year-old English teacher, who is here in Malaysia for the second time.
