Melawat Malaysia

Georgia Hesse and Russell Johnson - Melawat Malaysia

cassette released in 1985

This cassette is narrated by notable travel writer Georgia Hesse and producer and radio and TV host Russell Johnson. Melawat (Malay word for "visit") Malaysia is the second in a series of electronic travel guides produced by Travelmedia. All of the sounds and music were recorded in Malaysia. I am still trying to find out how many of these electronic travel guides were produced and released.

This tape gives a glimpse of the cultural background of Malaysia including the music, cuisine, traditions, marriage ceremonies, harvest celebrations along with the demographics (at time of recording), the fauna that inhabit the country and travel tips.
