Does it mean "to live side by side" as in
...которые мирно живущие бок о бок - who live peacefully together?

Так как_ я экскурсовод, я надеюсь, что однажды я _ смогу работать с туристами и из России (or "и с туристами из России").

That's how I'd correct it. Not "я тоже смогу" (which means "me, too"), but "и из России" (which means "from Russia, too").

Русские - они умные

You don't need to repeat "они" here.

В Малайзии_ всегда _лето_.

NO COMMA and no quotation marks here.

Rtyom, this sentence doesn't make sense...
It could be:
Однако из-за северо-восточных муссонов, которые здесь бывают с ноября по февраль, посещать восточное побережье острова в эти месяцы (or в это время) не рекомендуется.

Когда вы в Малайзии, не упускайте случай "Genting Highlands", Острова Пининг и Лангкави, исторический город "Malacca, и конечно столица города - Куала Лумрур.

Находясь (or оказавшись) в Малайзии, не упустите случая посетить "Genting Highlands", острова Пининг и Лангкави, исторический город Malacca, и конечно, столицу города - Куала Лумпур.

5. Какое население в Малайзии?
Население _ Малайзии составляет около двадцати семи миллионов человек. (The population of Malaysia is about 27 million)

If the answer is 27 million, then the question should be "Какова численность населения Малайзии?"
The original question means ~"Who lives in Malaysia (What is the population of Malaysia?)" to me.

Oh, sorry.

I was very inattentive this time.

Thanks for the additional support and suggestions.

For summer, I put it in quotes because Malaysia is located close to the equator and thus really does not have the usual seasons as in Russia. It's sunny most of the time, except during the rainy seasons. Depending on my mood, sometimes I say we have "spring" 365 days a year, sometime I say we have "summer" all year long. We don't really have spring or summer, but sometimes it feels like it.

I understand perfectly well what you meant. Moreover "там всегда лето" is a quite common phrase in Russian. The point is that we don't use quotation marks in it. Maybe it's okay in English, but it's incorrect and looks bad in Russian.

Thanks for the info.
