Welcome to Malaysia. There are 2 Roads to Cameron Highland. The one you follow is the old road which is Jalan Tapah to CH, the other is Jalan Simpang Pulai. I always follow the Road From Simpang Pulai to CH. It's very wide and safe and faster
Hi John and jess,you guys such a sweet lovely couple 💑 I'm so enjoy watching your vlog 💕 hope you enjoy the moment 😀 I'm from Malaysia kl,live in London UK 🇬🇧..can't wait to watching more of your vlog,absolutely amazing 👏
Thanks Jason, that’s lovely of you to say, we loved kl, it’s an amazing place to visit at night, the light and music show at the twin towers was incredible 🥰
Being a former British colony, English is one of the main subjects we must take in school. So its not surprising that a lot of Malaysians can speak more than 2 languages.
It’s brilliant (not the colonisation part) that Malaysians are so multilingual. We are often ashamed that we don’t speak another language and are going to make more of an effort if the future. We always learn please, thank you, how much but need to learn more. One thing we did notice was how happy people where when even when we’d had a conversation in English, I would finish the conversation by saying Terima Kasih 😄
You can walk up to a majority of locals in this country (urban, non urban) & you can talk to them in Malay or English (most will understand you even if they can't reply to you in fluent english). Not mandarin.
Not many foreign tourists visit Kuala selangor. Most people go there to see the rice paddy , sky mirror sand bar, the old Fort or lighthouse. The main natural attraction is fire fly.
We like to visit the places where not many tourists go, we think you get to see the country at its most original, the firefly tour we did was incredible too 😁
@True Blue Travellers not many places in the world have fire fly tours. Due to river pollution, they no more exist. In kuantan east coast and sabah borneo they have fire fly tours as well. It is amazing how God created inserts and fish that illuminate at night.
@True Blue Travellers should visit taiping Town and bukit merah. Pangkor island is cool too. Less touristy. For hill station less touristy than Cameron highlands , can try fraser's Hill.
I didn’t think it would be that good at first, I thought oh well it will just be a few little specs of light, I was wrong, like you say it’s incredible 😁
The road to the light house in Kuala Selangor is on the left side of the mosque 🕌. Should've stayed on the left side of the road when entering the town.
Unfortunately we didn’t go as we have headed further north, our grab driver was telling us about it, he said it is beautiful with casinos and theme parks etc, definitely will try get there on the way back down 👍
We hate the monkeys too but just be careful not to disturb them. 😂 Don' t trust their cuteness.. You have to take a Fourwheel drive to the Mossy forest..
Yeah I’ve seen a few monkeys that can be a bit too friendly 😂, unfortunately we didn’t do the mosey forest, we couldn’t find it 🤦♂️ we will have to go next time we visit for sure
@@ahboonahboon8355 the bitumen roads are mostly good in Australia but the dirt roads in the rural areas are often really bad with terrible corrugations.
Thanks 🥰 we want to be honest about our experiences, Malaysia is an incredible place but we don’t want to pretend that it’s perfect, as you say there is nowhere in the world that is, in fact nothing in life is perfect, that’s part of the beauty of it really.
Watch out and be careful on local roads! Plenty of daredevil drivers, observe and appreciate but not judgemental. We know and aware our pluses and minuses!
Many people in villages do not wear helmets. It is a fact. Helmets for kids are expensive as they are not standard helmets. Villagers cannot afford it.
Oh come on! Malaysia's Road is by no means bad. Maybe you went not city area but very rural places. I live in Ipoh. Ipoh Road is just common drive. Dinner, recommend try steamboat grill buffet (all you can eat) just US$11.50 around slightly lesser than (RM$50) per person.
Malaysian roads are good, we just encountered a couple of scary moments that’s all just like we do in every other country 😁, thanks for the recommendation on the buffet, I’ll check it out 👍
Hi norhaslina, thanks for the heads up about the toilets. With regards to the helmets, we have seen so many people not wearing helmets so is there no fines in place if caught not wearing one? We have even seen policemen see people without them and not do anything, I’m not trying to judge anyone it’s just interesting how different it is to home 😁
@@truebluetravellershi. You're welcome. There are fines in place. Policemen usually don't take action against people who don't wear helmets at villages. But people usually wear them when they enter the town areas. I know It's wrong to not wearing helmets but It's quite a norm in the villages. You must find it weird. Do come to Kelantan
And if the motorcyclist are wearing their religious headgear such as the turban for the sikhs, they are exempt frm wearing helmets.... by the way people who don't wear the helmets usually are travelling short distances..
Yahoo, g'day. I won't tell you about some of the matresses and pillows and after effets after some of experiences. Some reoccuring things. I'd better leave it off there. Murtobaak wif double egg and double onions is the way to go. Not as effluant as you i guess Johno. I reckon you'd be a cunning linguest eh?
Thank you for this beautiful vlog. I dont really good at comment but the place you went are refresh recall my memory again. Thank you for being honest and vocal in your video. Watching from Marudi Sarawak😊
Driving Malaysia its like going into a "quite chaos". There's no honking, but be ready to be in a situation that go slow to an absolute race to whatever. Be vigilant to all five direction, left right back front and something come flying out of nowhere. Malaysian traffic rules are a bit loose but we do take safety seriously up to a certain point.
This is a great description masta, what we love about the driving here is if someone is wandering lanes or pulls out in front of you it’s no big deal, no road rage and traffic just flows round it, I’d say Malaysians hazard perception is a million times better than most western countries 😁
true! i experience trice time something flying across my front windscreen.. one is a tree branch during downpour with strong wind.. another one is lorry tire cover flying at PLUS highway, u can imagine how close it was..even the mud on the cover splash on my car sceen..but God really help me..none crash on my windscreen..except one... road signboard (AWAS metal signboard) being throw to my car by crazy person who didnt take his meds 😅..luckily only hit the frame beside my windscreen..i only know about his story after make a police report..well..its happen you know.. so always stay alert.
Actually there are rules regarding wearing safety helmets, but in the countryside the enforcement is not that strict. I prefer to use Waze than Google Map which is not accurate even in Australia or UK.
They can afford a helmet if they can get those motorcycle. Typical B40, they will spend their money on Iphone first instead of more important item like safety helmet, education, etc.
Oh my god, thats disgusting hotel room, eventho its cheap, it wasn’t suppose to be like that. I would give zero star feedback to the website or whatever site you book that hotel. As a malaysian if that would happen to me, I would make it viral until they apologised.
Hi aiman, we booked through booking.com and tried to tell them what had happened and they weren’t interested and wouldn’t even let us write a review, the main reason we wanted to review it was so some poor person didn’t book a week there and then turn up to this, luckily everywhere else we have stayed in Malaysia has been lovely
Hi Bob, oh that’s interesting, we were only sharing what the lady at the car rental had told us 👍 nice to hear that the Malay language is widely used. Language is such an important part of culture, it’s good to hear that it is still as prevalent as you would hope.
Uhm not really. All 3 races speaks to each other using Malay language not English. All Chinese & Indians can speak Malay because that is the national language. English is widely spoken because we were a former British colony and Malaysian economy has always been dependent on Foreign Direct Investments. It is just much more appealing to investors to invest here if you can speak English. You will see that in big size companies, employers will communicate in English with their employees especially foreign companies.
Fun travel vlog. Just catching up. Did look dodgy - glad you updated lodging. Malaysia looks beautiful. You're both entertaining while packing a lot in. ( My grandson is on college break - just sent photo from top of Mt. Fuji).
@True Blue Travellers moisture. When not dried, black mould grows in damp humid condition. Same as what happened at the mossy forest. It is cold and wet up on the highlands
Yes it did, which I know isn’t very expensive and we don’t expect 5 ⭐️, but a few other hotels we have stayed have been the same price and they have been lovely
The state of Selangor, is correctly pronounced as Se - la - ngor ((When Se sounds like 'Sir' without the R , and then la(as 'Lah), and ngor as ngor, not 'GOR'.&so it is not Se-lan-gor.. Fyi:)
Thanks, I got the name completely wrong 🤦♀️ sorry but oh my goodness they are so delicious. I appreciate the pronunciation help, will help me order more of them 😂😂😂
