Tourists from the "west" are always pleasantly surprised and impressed with Malaysia. People in the Asian continent however, generally speaking they are not that surprised. One thing first time tourists from other asian countries always get surprised on is its diversity (moreso than the modern infrastructure etc). Very few asian countries is as culturally diversed as Malaysia
That is something we saw all throughout the city of Kuala Lumpur! The diversity in culture and religion was such a cool thing to see! Thank you for welcoming us to Malaysia! It was truly a pleasure! ❤🇲🇾🤗
Greetings from Kuala Lumpur. Everyone is aware that the Twin Tower is Kuala Lumpur's version of the Eiffel Tower in Paris. It is the structure that best represents Malaysia. I'm glad you two were able to go there. The Musang King variety of durian is the priciest one offered in Malaysia. As you may have seen, in addition to the city's profusion of greenery, KL also has a mix of contemporary and colonial-era historic buildings. The majority of Malaysians choose to shop inside malls since we find them to be much cooler than outside due to our scorching climate. That explains why the city is filled with multiple large malls. When you have more time to explore, we hope you will both enjoy your time in our country.
Thank you so much for the wonderful comment! We love learning more about the cities we go to because it makes the experience sweeter! We appreciate you watching the video🇲🇾🤗
@@WyattandReyka - I enjoyed watching your video and am also curious to know about what foreign visitors think of our country. Thank you so much for your kind words; they make us very happy to welcome more visitors like you two.
Must eat in Malaysia 1.Durian - checked 2.Ramly burger - go for the ' Double beef cheese special 3.Nasi Kandar 4.Bak Kut Teh 5.Nasi Lemak - checked 6.KFC and Mcdonald for the fried chicken 7.Fried instant mee - Maggie goreng at any "mamak" restaurant. May the fat, be with y' all. Alwiz. 😁
Oh my, all that food sounds sooo good! Thanks so much for the suggestion we will have to try all the stuff we missed next time! We appreciate you watching the video and commenting! Take care 🤗🤗
Wouldn't be surprised if Google Maps DID take you up that to that highway. KL is amazing city, but it's really not the most pedestrian friendly outside of downtown. Google Maps used to take us to all sorts of crazy places. 😂 We lived in KL for about 8 months, before we started RU-vid. It's such an underrated city. One of of favorites in Asia. Can't wait to go back and film there! If you like 400m coffee, you should try in a plane. 😂 We actually love durian! Between Vietnam, Thailand and KL, we've had it multiple times and in multiple forms. Candies, durian flavored snacks, ice creams..even a durian Blizzard from Dairy Queen. Good stuff.
Hahahaha still looking back the fact that we were going up a straight up on ramp should’ve been a giveaway lololol. 😂 That’s so cool you lived in KL for 8 months!! What were you doing there for so long?! And yeah definitely such an underrated city for sure. We absolutely loved it. Airplane is next for coffee tasting. Then maybe the space station? 🤨 They have a durian flavored blizzard at DAIRY QUEEN?!?!? That is absolutely awesome (but also terrible- this is wyatt here lol) Where are you guys in the world now?!
@@WyattandReyka We moved to Asia blindly, just to travel around. Ended up staying for two years. Did some online teaching and stuff! Lived in Vietnam for a year, then Malaysia, South Korea and then Turkey. Traveled to surrounding Asian countries along the way. I wish he had decided to start a RU-vid back then. 😕 We are based out of Budapest these days! And yes! Durian blizzard! It was a temporary thing in Vietnam. Best durian thing we tried, for sure. 😜 I want a space coffee! ☕️ 🌙 😂
You guys are AMAZING! Wow super impressive that y’all ended up staying for two whole years like WOAH! 😱 Daw yeah that would’ve been cool to have started RU-vid earlier. But, you know what they say. The best time to plant a tree was twenty years ago. The next best time is now. Which country has been your favorite so far??
Malaysia is between Singapore and Thailand. Less expensive to stay than in Singapore. Better overall communication in English compared to Thailand. The most unique is it is the melting pot and fusion of Asia culture where Malay, Chinese, Indians, Iban, Kadazan and others call here home. You can see traces of British, Portuguese, Holland rule in the right places. Places of interest in Malaysia may not be on par with the other parts of the world (smaller in scale, less grand) so it's ok if you missed them. I also see being as a backpacker and navigate and explore these foreign places on your own is a good way to learn to solve problems and experience something new. Sometimes, this can be intimadating, and hiring a guide can be useful and time saving.
For sure! A guide would’ve been fun, but we really wanted to just freely explore. KL is such a charming and wonderful city to explore. Are you from KL or outside?
Welcome to Malaysia ♥️💕 I hope you guys enjoy your trip in Malaysia especially Kuala Lumpur. If you guys have sooner opportunity, please spend good times to visit some of these attractions in other states of Malaysia : #Mabul Island Sabah #Penang #Georgetown #GentingHighland #Malacca Heritage City #CameronHighland #Kinabalu #Langkawi Island #Ipoh Perak #Kuching #SarawakCulturalVillage #Perhentian Island #MuluNationalPark Sarawak #Sepilok Orang Utan Rehabilitation #TamanNegara National Park #DesaDairyFarm #Kundasang #Putrajaya Administrative City #Semporna Sabah
@@WyattandReyka if u love wild nature, unic culture, amazing people, foods, just fly to east malaysia, sarawak & sabah..and i will guarantee you that you will not leaving malaysia, btw don't worry because here, all of malaysian speak well in english, even the oldies or kids, its will be easy to you
I just looked up pictures of Sarawak and it is beautiful!! Definitely want to visit there now 🥰❤️ Yeah that’s funny you said that because we totally thought about the fact that we could live in KL long term if we ever want to live in South East Asia😊
Many people said when travel in the South East Asia, most of refer ‘Thailand’. But my opinion is others, like Malaysia,Indonesia,The Phillppines are never behind. Very unique culture & foods with resonable prices, kind people. Enjoy the 100% of Malaysia😊🙌🇲🇾 Support from South Korea as always🥰🇺🇸🇰🇷🙏🏻 P.S Petronas tower built by Korean company(Ssang yong) 😉Burj Khalifa also built by Korean company(Samsung)
We REALLY want to visit both Indonesia and the Philippines. Both seem amazing 🤩🥰 And that’s so cool how big South Korean companies are! That is super impressive that two of the biggest buildings in the world were built by Korean companies 🇰🇷❤️
Thank you for visiting us in Malaysia Shopping malls...time square and many more... Genting highland... I think u did passed by Saloma bridge which look gorgeous @ night and there is a 2nd tallest building in the world just right behind u....enjoy the day 🙏
Thank you so much! It was such a pleasure to go there! We have a food tour next vlog where try a lot of local favorites so stay tuned for more! Take care❤🤗
Thanks so much for watching the video! it is such a cool place for sure! We stayed for a week and there was so much to see do and eat!!🥰🥰 are you both still in Malaysia?
@@WyattandReyka Yes, we're continuing our travels in Malaysia for the moment but moving onto Thailand in July for a few weeks. Looking forward to beginning to explore other countries!
Yes, you guys should go to the city in the clouds up the mountain, its called the Genting Highlands Resorts. Make sure to stay a night to fully enjoy what's on offer there. It'll blow your mind!😊
@Wyatt and Reyka If you'll like to visit a more cooling climate place, besides Genting, it'll have to be Cameron Highlands. If beautiful white sandy beaches is your thing, then Langkawi Island is a must, as it's more accessible. Enjoy!
You should start with the rural durian. Where villagers grow outside a plantation. It wasn't bred, quasi wild behind someone's house. Before you can appreciate those designer durians bred on plantations. Each type of durian has a different flavour profile and flesh texture.
Thanks so much! We feel so welcomed here! And thanks for the suggestion, we will keep that in mind for sure! Are you from Kuala Lumpur or another city?🤗🤗
You are so sweet!! We loved KL. it was such a beautiful and lovely city. The food tour was absolutely amazing too it’s a great video we’re excited to share ❤️🥰
@@WyattandReyka its good to start durian with D24 type. And must forget about the smell before and while eating them. There is evidence after few trials many european, american become durian lover
That Chinese temple you covered there is very old, my parents brings my family there for prayer every Chinese new year when I was a child. Now, it has become somewhat of a landmark.
So cool! We really want to go to china soon 🥰 And yeah it’s in a popular spot in town too with a lot of foot traffic we’re not surprised it has become a landmark
Welcomed to KL! You guys are brave to try the durian, though it's an acquired taste. There are many types of durian, from bitter sweet to creamy sweet to plain sweet to many more. You need to know your durian n pick the right ones to appreciate the taste. 😊
Hahah yep we saw the walk bridge just after we were too far deep in the highway. You can even see it in the video🤣 Next time we will for sure take the bridge! We appreicate you watching the video 🥰
malaysians dont really walk around the city because its hot and a lot flyovers in the city .. dont think u can walk there, anywho have a blast in Kl!!! Malaysians are very accomodating 🙏🏼
That makes sense, It was definitely very hot there haha! We appreciate the kind comment and we definitely enjoyed our time in KL! The Malaysians we met are so nice and it was great! Thanks for watching!🇲🇾💗
Durian was such a fun thing to try! Definitely a taste I have never tasted before! So glad we tried it! Thanks for watching our adventures and for the sweet comment! We appreicate it🥰
Malaysia is awesome, thank you so much for the welcome! The Pavilion sounds cool! We will have to try going next time! We appreciate the support and your watching the video!🤗💗
Durian is always like that...most people can't take for few time as time go they will like it...some after few years only than they like it much and never want to miss it again and forever....😄
Grab is the most convenient method of transportation in KL, but if you know where to go from point A to point B, electric trains can be less expensive.
That's good to know! We walked everywhere but there were a few things we missed because they were too far. We will have to use the trains next time! Thanks for watching🇲🇾😊
the similarity of the flag is just by accident .. our flag inspired from british india east company which is inspired by Grand Union Flag that inspired american flag.( basically appearance just the same only different era and different name as the US indepence so early while Malaysia only after world war 2).. US took the grand union flag and change to 13 original colonies star at the beginning later change to 50 states star while Malaysia took the E.I.C just added star and crescent because of islam and monarch symbol after all british colony - federation of malaya , Sabah , Sarawak and singapore join together for independence and form Malaysia . and also White and red stripe was already establish and popular flag or ensign in the region even before the E.I.C during Srivijaya Empire in 11a.d and after that Majapahit Empire 13 A.d . that is why Indonesia Flag is also red and white.
Super interesting!! And yeah, just looked up the grand union flag the resemblance is very clear. How did you learn so much about flags?! 🥰 thanks for sharing
I am Asian , welcome to travel in Asian countries , Tokyo Japan , Seoul Korea , Shanghai China , Hong Kong , Taipei Taiwan , Manila Philippines , Bangkok Thailand , Kuala Lumpur Malaysia , Singapore , Jakarta Indonesia
Both! They’re super cool in different ways. Europe has a lot of old interesting sites and fun cultures but we love the food and people in Asia. Plus there’s a lot of cool stuff to see in Asia. How bout you?
@@WyattandReyka Of course I choose Asian countries, especially many Europeans, choose to live in Bangkok Thailand, Kuala Lumpur Malaysia, Singapore, Manila Philippines, and Jakarta Indonesia for retirement life
It was so epic to see it in the distance like that! Super cool! Is it a place worth going? Thanks so much for watching and supporting us with a comment!❤🇲🇾
@@WyattandReyka yes please visit genting highlands and stay few days in cameron highlands and do a day visit to french village in colmar tropicale bukit tinggi resort.. All of them not far from KL.. And the atmosphere is stunning..
You are so right, it was not a good idea haha! Fortunately it was daylight so the cars could see we were there. Thanks for the concern, we will definitely not do that again🙂
@@keangwooichoo6138 That is true we were most definitely lost haha! Fortunately we finally found our way to those epic pedestrian walk towers! Thanks for watching and take care!😊
It was something we have never tasted before and we had such a fun time trying it! We will definitely try it again💗 Thanks for watching the video and take care!
btw now still the tallest twin tower in the world and there one more people doesnt know is that malaysia have the second hightes building after butj khalifah... called pnb118
Yes I recommend to you to come visit Kuching city, it is a beautiful modern city with it many preserved historical colonial architecture plus it's amazing wildlife. You can watch orang utan live here and the amazing food like Chicken Pansoh (Chicken cooked in bamboo) and Kek Lapis Sarawak (Layered Cake). Come on. @@WyattandReyka
4.07 ....No-one walked that road as its a highway....dont trust google map entirely. At 19:40 You should visit the mosque river at night when its beautifully lit up.
other cities in Malaysia have almost the same streetscape as in KL... another city like Penang and Malacca is known as historical city. You can take the ETS train to Penang (around 4 hours ) and to Malacca by bus for around 2 hours.
Haha yes, that is what the man at the Durian store said too. We just thought why not try the most potent one for the video! Next time we might have to try a lighter and sweeter one for sure! Thanks for the suggestion and we appreciate you watching the video!🥰🥰
Love you guys. While you are in Malaysia, try to find some vegetarian hawker food stalls for Wyatt. Some serve mock meat, etc. They exist but you gotta do a bit of digging. Have a fantastic time! As for ramlee-style burger, Wyatt should try egg banjo.
Daw thank you so much 🥰❤️ and that sounds fantastic! Always in the hunt for some solid vegetarian food in other countries 😊 We have heard of Ramly burger is it super tasty? We may have to check it out soon
@@WyattandReyka For the meat version, burger "special" (or a variation) is the full experience. It has a meat patty (either minced chicken or minced beef usually), a chicken sausage, an egg and a slice of cheese. If you want to amp it up, some offer the "double", "triple", etc version.
Hahaha yes we are so glad we tried it but next time we will probably get a sweeter and lighter durian 🤣 Thanks for watching us try the king of fruits!😊🥰
@@WyattandReyka That is true. It increase sexual desire. In Malaysia and Laos, eating large quantities of durian and drinks hard alcohol may cause death. The ripen fruit will fall and start to ferment causing strong smell. In confined area it makes people dizzy and tipsy. In Thailand and Vietnam the fruit was plugged from trees before ripen and kept to ripe hence it do not the strong smell and more hydrated. Having these different circumstances. Malaysia durian only can be exported in frozen. Thai and Vietnam durian can be exported in a more forgiving manner. That is the reason why there is only Vietnamese durian available back in Dublin.
It’s a good question! For literal transportation, flying is probably your best option. It’s the fastest definitely. In terms of visas, it depends on which passport you hold, but Wikipedia has a great page for the visa requirements for every other country just do a Google search for “visa requirements for X Passport” where X = your country. Let us know if you have any other questions 😊🥰
Bro, you should really really be grateful the cab driver was kind enough to stop in the middle of highway to pick u up, usually people woulnd't do that. When I saw both of you were walking on the highway, i was like wth ???
Hahah totally. We weren’t even sure if they would come/understand where we’re walking with the grab app, but they found us! Super kind and helpful of them hahaha
Complaining about humidity in SEA is the most touristy thing to say...😂😂😂. We all know its true, just local dont want to say it out loud, it just making thinh awkward..😂😂
Yeah the long sleeve was unfortunate because they were the only clothes I had after we had luggage issues on our flight 😅 I made it through though and it was worth it! 🤗🥰 thanks for watching!!
Seemed VERY safe! We didn’t feel an ounce of danger the entire time there. You should look up statistics to be sure, but I wouldn’t worry about safety issues at all when visiting. 🥰 are you heading there soon?
