The Royal Selangor Visitor Centre offers a fascinating look into the history of pewter craftsmanship in Malaysia. Founded in 1885 by Yong Koon, a young Chinese immigrant, Royal Selangor has since become one of the world’s leading names in pewter. The centre features a museum showcasing the brand’s story, a retail store with high-quality pewter pieces ideal for gifts or souvenirs, and guided factory tours. The factory tour itself is free and provides a quick but interesting overview of the process. For a more hands-on experience, you can join one of the interactive workshops, which are both fun and educational.

The Museum of Pop Culture delves into the world-shaping impact of pop culture through immersive exhibitions and interactive experiences. From rock music to science fiction, MoPOP showcases the creative expressions that define contemporary culture. The eccentric architectural style of the museum is a major draw in itself.

Distance in Australia is a whole other thing to compared what you are probably used to, and Uluru (or Ayer's Rock) is approximately 450 km southwest of Alice Springs — considering the vast distances existing in Oz, that is practically nothing. The large sandstone formation is pretty much in the middle of nowhere, in the pristine vastness of nature. The ground is sacred to the Aṉangu, the Aboriginal people in this area.
