I like this guy . If any Japanese want to live here , they actually should see this video cuz this one was more related to them since most of them that came here are like him . I'm not saying him or make him as a bad example , instead I was talking about his experience since a lot of Japanese have the same life style as him . Thank you for your honest review though . He's so honest that whenever he put a bad point , he didn't slid in the word ( BUT ) to make the point less bad 😂 he was just " if there's a bad point , then it's a bad point " . Don't get me wrong , we do love you guys to come here but at least be PREPARED cuz we do feel bad for your uncomfortable trip to here . Thank you again for your review Encik Masaomi !
Thanks for your comments. And I appreciate it. As you said, to be honest, I shot from a Japanese perspective! But some things have changed after living in Malaysia for a year, so I will try to shoot again from the perspective of having lived there for a year. I love Malaysia. I think it is a very wonderful country!
i wish Malaysia can adapt the walking or cycling culture from Japan, but i think the main reason people dont prefer to walk that much is because of the hot weather. no one want to go to office with clothes full of sweats
back when i was studying in Japan for 4 years, it was so easy for me to buy starbucks drink for 500yen, but it is very rare for me to buy starbucks drink in Malaysia for rm15-rm20 because i dont feel like the price worth the drink because i could easily find cheaper options for similar drinks. btw have fun staying in Malaysia.
@@mayshusakuhanamurasufferli5438 As for the price, I can't give you a general answer because it varies from thing to thing! Some are expensive, some are cheap. Perhaps this is the answer for many. Thanks for your comment.
Masaomi san, where do you buy your groceries from? Pork and beef are sold everywhere. You can get them from the market, or supermarkets like Aeon and Jaya Grocer. Beef and chicken are usually placed side by side in the same refrigerated area. Pork is sold in the non-halal section of the supermarket. For Jaya Grocer, pork is sold next door in Hanks.
They don't sell it in my neighborhood, so I have been visiting other supermarkets. I've been to the market a few times and it's very lively and has a great atmosphere Thank you very much for all the information.
Here is the tips to keep your room cool if you dont have aircond. 1) Do not open wide the window during day, especially when weather is hot. 2) Install a long curtain to block sunlight. 3) Open window during late evening and early night to allow cool wind to come in.
You make very good observations. .... all very accurate. Stay safe. Choose local food. I love kambing. Give up on alcohol, a suggestion ;)... And accept the positive aspects on tolerant like locals, which I am on your side: a good point (5)! Firecrackers...Enjoy them !!
Thank you for your comment. There are so many delicious things to try, and I'm enjoying a little bit of Malaysian food every day. I would love to try all the famous ones. I hope you will come back to see us.
I hate firecrackers, you can never enjoy them like fireworks and they’re illegal anyway. So noisy. Think of elderly people and babies who are sleeping, be considerate and you’d probably be questioned later on why you disturb the peace enjoyed by others.
A. Suburb are safer :) the people are friendlier.. but, there would be a language barrier.. B. Beef are relatively easy to find.. because Muslims also eat beef.. you can find cheaper beef at morning market (pasar pagi/ pasar tani)..which locals usually go to.. C. Yes. The fireworks thing.. lol. I use to enjoy them when i was younger, but since i have a son . I get annoyed by it . D. Malaysian always comes late . Always add 30-40 minutes to whatever time that was set/appointed.
A. The suburbs are better. I see. B. I think I'll get up early and go to the morning market. C. So you think the locals are noisy too? That's a new discovery. D. Some people are punctual, but there are many who are late. Thanks for your comment.
Your explanation is quite correct with our country however there are other alternatives to solve the problem you are facing, some of the problems are described in other someone comments below.
Thank you for your comment. It's been a few months since then, and most of the problems have been resolved! I'll make a video later about the new things I've noticed
I agreed with you for almost everything but beef can be found everywhere either at supermarket (raw beef) or restaurants (only indian (hindu) restaurants dont serve beef)...but it depends on where you live ...but mostly in kuala lumpur/selangor you can found beef almost everywhere and all malay restaurants restaurants/stalls sell beef
Yes, the supermarkets near my house don't sell much beef! Now I have found a specific supermarket and I go there! Problem solved. Thanks for your comment.
@@Aeybiseediy Thanks for your comments. Your advice helped me find many supermarkets! At the time I made the video, it was hard to know where everything was
LOL at bad point #7! You'll be hearing a lot of firecrackers in the coming days, the loudest and longest would be on midnight of 9th Feb (after 11.59pm on 8th Feb) because that is the start of the Hokkien new year, and on the midnight of 15th Feb (after 11.59pm on 14th Feb), to mark the end of the Chinese new year festivities. Be prepared. :P
Thank you for the detailed information and comments. Malaysia is a mix of many different cultures, and there are so many events during the year. It's fascinating! As for the firecrackers, I'll be prepared.
by the way, you forgot that Malaysian country is quite safe from natural disaster than other ASEAN country but still not 100% safe 🙋♂️🙂 anyway, I'm your new subscriber 🙋♂️
I see, you are right. I am from Japan, and Japan has so many natural disasters. I think we should not forget about that in Malaysia as well. Thank you for your comment.
I just want to touch on one bad point here and nothing more but bear with me as I am only stating the obvious (well, maybe not for some) and not to insult others with such habits or interest. From my observations, Japanese and Koreans are often complaining about alcohol prices while in Malaysia and is a bad point. However, it is actually devil in disguise. How come? Well, in driving for example; if you can make sure you can drive safely, it doesn't matter if you are wearing a seatbelt or not, right? However, wearing a seatbelt is proven to be more safe for you because you might not know how others' driving behaviour that would harm you regardless of how good your driving skills is. Same with alcohol. Many believe that moderate alcohol consumption may provide some health benefits. However, eating a healthy diet and being physically active have much greater health benefits and have been more extensively studied and even if you are drinking safely, there are others who don't that might developed violent behaviour towards you. Keep in mind that even moderate alcohol use isn't risk-free. For example, even light drinkers (those who have no more than one drink a day) have a tiny, but real, increased risk of some cancers, such as esophageal cancer. Over long-term, it will overload your liver and other illnesses such as mental disorder, high blood pressure, heart disease, stroke and many more. Why many didn't point out the risks but promoting health benefits despite how little it could actually benefited you and the bad actually outweighs the good? Money! Corporations had been utilize it sources for decades for propaganda that benefitted them and over generations, this is the results. Same with dairy industries that we thought the more you drink milk, the more your bone become stronger and healthier. Well, guess what, studies shown that excessive intake of milk could have adverse effects in which consuming too much milk can actually make your bones brittle and more fragile, among all other setbacks. It is true milk is supposed to be good for our body since its the base food that we we able to consume, but for us human, it only applies to human's milk. Cow's milk is good for cows and so on because in mamalian milk for example, the composition ratio of caesin:niacin is around 80:20, about the same with all mammals except in human milk which is in reverse ratio, around 20~40:60~80. Yes cows milk gives us calcium but based on the composition, we only get a little from what human milk could provide but at the same time we took lots of unnecessary compound that later will need to be broken down and excreted from our system, leading to unnecessary overload to our internal organs. So the best source of calcium is from vegetables. But these studies are not made known as widely as it should be and can only be found within academic research centre or if ones actually look for it. How come? Well, because the power of dairy products corporations that controls the media for their corporate growth, and same goes to alcoholic beverages. Therefore, higher price of alcohol is actually a good point and should be treated the same as in higher price of tobacco. Hopefully those decided to stay here could reduce and eventually quits taking alcohol due to its high prices. And that is if ones want to change their lifestyle and become healthier. Its your body, your choice. I am just throwing my two cents here. Anyway, have a good day and enjoy the rest of your stay.
First of all, thank you very much for all your comments. And thank you for the feedback on the drink! Actually, the devil incarnate>> I think you are absolutely right. When it comes to alcohol, there are always dangers. For example, drinking can cause accidents, and I also believe that not drinking is the right thing to do. I have no objection to that. I read with great interest your comment about alcohol and dairy! I learned a lot from it. We all know that alcohol is bad for the human body. It is just like cigarettes, and if you think about it, it is probably normal to raise the price. Since I came to Malaysia, the amount of alcohol I drink has been decreasing, so if I keep it up, it should be less of a burden on my body! It's also true that I'm thinking of quitting eventually! Yes, thank you for caring about my body as well. Also, thank you for your heartwarming comments. I hope you'll come back to see me.
Alcohol if you buy by carton price is cheaper, is because alcohol is depends on taxation. For your information, Langkawi free tax for chocolate and alcohol...
Yes, it is. At this point, the bad points stand out, but I feel they are good points. I'm planning to make a sequel after a while. Thanks for the comment.
If we held the eating event that consist 3 races, malay , chinese and indian , we prefer to cook in halal ways and no pork and beef because muslim prohibited to eat pork and mostly indian did not eat beef....
21:50 When I first got my driving license, fresh from driving school. I drive soft and smooth. But I notice other drivers will not give way if I continue doing that, they ignore me. So we, the Malaysian drivers are shaped by the environment itself. Why and when Malaysian drivers became rough? I too do not know the answer. But I can confidently say we all drive smoothly when we finished driving school. However I think driving around in KL and Selangor state is still great. Most drivers are kind and considerate. But among Malaysian, there is Penang state that are infamous for having the worst drivers in the country. Maybe try to visit Penang, and you will appreciate the drivers around your living place more. 🙂
So the environment has a strong influence. I will have to observe it carefully when I visit Penang state. Thanks for sharing your interesting facts with us. And thanks for your comment.
you should go singapore is way safer and less traffic jam and more important higher pay salary comapre to mlaysia many people rent apartment in johor which near the border of singapore and went there to work
1. the weather is hot and humid throught the year, and the recent climate change makes the weather to be unpredictable (sunny in the morning, thunderstorm in the evening) 2. It's easy for malaysians to buy car as loans are easily approved & no strict rules in regards to car ownership (some of our politicians own 12 cars) 3. petrol is damn cheap for locals (ron95 around 70 yen per L) 4 we malaysian prefer easier way of laifu ehehehe
1. it's easy for me to spend time there 2. yes, it is. I want to buy a motorcycle too. Cars are expensive. 3. it's convenient for me to get around. Japan is about twice as expensive. 4. nice culture Thanks for your comment.
Humid, we just open window... Pork and beef, if you have chinese girlfriend who knows how to cook, they might show you where to get cheaper and small amount... I usually visit Jaya Grocer or some Hypermarket... Perhaps you can Google it where is the nearest Hypermarket... Just one thing, pork might be hidden around the corner because of religious. But if you don't mind to ask the staff where is the non halal section and you could find out.
@@masaomi169 requirement revise to avoid increase living cost for local.goverment give subsidies for certain stuff like petrol.malaysia now being famous for western to migrate.also 1.5m chinese mainland overstay here now.
Overall, cities and suburbs in Malaysia are safe. But if you're new in Malaysia, avoid from going out after midnight. If you're not used to Malaysian traffic, avoid driving in Penang first 😁
@@mior1 Oh, I see. I wonder where he is. One thing I can tell you is that right now, in Japan, there's a lot of talk about the problems he's caused. Thank you for your comment.
1. Late. We are so sorry that Malaysians have a habit to be late. It's not good, but we will try to be on time.. 😑 Sorry again. 2. Safety. Please beware of snatch thief, they're everywhere.. riding motorbikes and snatch you from behind. Burglary is common too, thats why many houses have grill on their windows. 3. Beef & Pork. I think you can get it in the right place. We eat beef a lot. And pigs are the second largest livestock in Malaysia. Hey, you guys subscribers must help him la..
1. that's one of the good things about Malaysia! 2. yes, thanks for the advice I'll be careful too. 3. many people have given me advice. Now I have found a great place! Thanks for your comment.
the reason alcohol price high is to stop citizen from drinking it, bad for health, same goes to cigarette.. hope everyone can stop drinking it or at least less drink alcohol like u..😊
