You’re an adventurous girl. Your videos clips totally different from many others you tubers from China. Salute to you! FYI drinks in Malaysia or South East Asia generally are too sweet for Chinese’s tongue.Just tell the seller -kurang manis (ku-rang ma-nis) means less sweet when ever you make order.
@@littlechineseeverywhere U know whats funny when comes to Tea and Malaysia for commoners? When u order Tea it always meant for Tea that comes with Milk. If u want Tea without Milk u either say Teh O or Teh Kosong with the latter stands for Zero or plain. This i think is unique to only Malaysia and Singapore. Funs fact.
@@littlechineseeverywhere Semoga anda Bisa datang ke Indonesia menikmati keindahan alam yang enggak tertandingi di Indonesia kami selalu mempertontonkan Budaya lokal dibandingkan Malasia. Ingat Malasia tidak Punya identitas Lokal. Datanglah ke Indonesia berwisata dijamin kamu akan mendapatkan pengalaman luar biasa disini 🥰🇮🇩🙏🏾.
I am a 65 year-old malaysian and i have never been on the jungle railway! Thanks to you i promise myself to take the train to tumpat before i turn 66 😆
Hi Joel, thank you for reminding me. Oh God, i just turned 66, and this trip has eluded me... i'm going to book the trip now. Will update once completed 😀
The kids spoke great English, and it's their 2nd or 3rd language. In Malaysia, I found that many people can speak 3 languages - they are smart. I am so dumb that I only know 1 language :(
Finally new video,love it so much! U're such a brave & adventurous female solo traveler. Salute! 你的視頻讓人耳目一新，還有配上音樂，文字等等。。一個蠻高素質的視頻，有別於其他中國博主，和很多西方博主，覺得就像看著國家地理頻道的旅遊節目，拍得太好看了，加油！👍🏻 來自馬來西亞人😊
Greetings from America Yan. I'm enjoying your trip back home from Switzerland and really like your unique vlogging style. In an earlier vlog (intro?) you questioned your command of English. Please don't, it is excellent and honestly better than many native born & raised Americans. Thanx for taking me along today !!
You will never encounter any communication problem here in Malaysia. Generally here most malaysians of all walk of life do speak simple English even in rurals area. Looking forward to your next vlog.
Although Kota Bahru looks like a sleepy town, your exploration made me interested in this town and the much new information you shared about it. And Kuba Guling looks really delicious. Thank you for sharing your journey. I am a new friend here. Greetings from Singapore.
Once again, a wonderful adventure off the tourist route. Kudos on trying different and with a curious but sunny attitude and disposition. Cheers and adventure on!
My father was transferred from Kuala Lumpur to Kota Bahru. The trip took us south to Gemas before going north. That was in 1958 and the overnight traiin was probably fairly new THEN but from your video, the train looks awful now - not maintained , probably the same train ! No birds' nests farming neither.. We stayed 3 years in KB - the population was different from that of the west coast but with its authenticity (then - I haven't been back since we left ), I loved it. A memorable stay !
1958, my grandfather was the Head Station master (Ketua Stesen Besar) and he was based in Singapore. When the train pulls into the station before the journey, he would do an inspection. If he found the train not cleaned properly, he would send it back to the shed to be recleaned. And it s not the same train. In 1958, second class coaches were non aricon. There were fans on the ceiling, and the windows could be opened by lifting them up
@@JaswantSingh-ym9zo wow thank you for sharing this detailed memory! so nice people are able to connect from all over, past to present, through this video!
the nice thing about malaysia ,even at the most rural areas, English is widely understood and spoken and lastly Malaysian Chinese is everywhere..hahaha
Wow ...very good video again. I am from west coast of Malaysia, I will never ever have a chance to take this railway route to go to the Kota Bahru, thank you for bring me a tour view in this video
Interesting train ride. The tiered roofs are typical of Pasisir architecture found in all coastal 'Malay' villages in the archipelago, now coasts of Malaysia, Indonesia, Indo-china, Mindano-Philippines.
Perjalanan yang menyenangkan naik kereta api berkipas angin dan sebagian ber AC dengan pemandangan yang indah menakjubkan mengingatkan Nostalgia tahun 2012 pas mudik lebaran dan sekarang tinggal kenangan . Itu kok ada yang mengeluarkan anggota badan serta duduk dipintu kereta ya waaoooow . Di negaraku membuka pintu waktu kereta api sedang berjalan adalah ilegal dan dilarang keras karena sangat membahayakan . Terima kasih atas video nya yang sangat bagus .
Back in the 90's, I remember riding an old train back to my hometown in Perak, I was just a boy back then. So much old memories. Now they even have bunk beds, I might give it a try one day.
if you're in KL, its normal to take the new ETS train now from sentral station up north.. its electric, fast and quiet.. the aircond is also super cold.
@@littlechineseeverywhere In some areas in Miri and Bau , there are still some bird nest harvesting going on in some caves. Too dangerous and need 100% focus on cave climbing so they won't let people following them.
Actually a few of the southern Thailand provinces especially Narathiwat, Yala, Patani and some parts of Songkhla share similar religion, language, culture and foods with the state of Kelantan (Kota Baru is the state capital). So it is not accurate to say their foods are influenced by Thailand because the people in southern Thailand and Kelantan are essentially the same people ethnically. Before the advent of modern state and immigration control there were free movements of people from Patani to Kelantan and vice-versa. Since then Thailand has been trying to force the assimilation of the southern people through language, you will find less and less people in southern Thailand who are able to speak Malay. So the only similarities left as time goes by will be Islamic religion, culture, clothing and food. These provinces were once independent kingdom under the Sultanate of Patani and later were conquered by the Sukhotai and Ayuthaya Kingdom from Siam (Thailand’s old name) in the 17th Century. After that the kingdom had to pay yearly tributes to Ayuthaya Kingdom. Due their continous rebellion against Thai rules (on a smaller scale even until today), Patani was broken up into 3 smaller provinces as mentioned earlier. The Sultanate for the 4 northermost states in Malaysia (Kedah, Perlis, Kelantan and Terengganu used to pay tributes to Siam kingdom until 1909 when Anglo-Siam treaty was signed whereby Britain recognised Siam sovereignity over Patani and Siam relinquished its claim over the 4 northern states.
Thanks for your great explanation. I'm indonesian, I've been to KL and Kelantan as well. My friends who originally from Kelantan never told me this haha. I enjoy their food though
@@HuciDufron You are welcome. Yes, not many people even in Malaysia are aware of this and what more people from other countries. Similarly south eastern region of Sumatra also share the same cuisines unique to the west coast of Malay Peninsula and vice versa due to the past movement of people when there was no border restrictions. From which part of Indonesia are you from?
@@kickapootrackers7255 it taste like nothing. It takes on the flavour of the liquid it is in. And the texture is like strands of jelly but little bit plasticky.
The origins of Apam balik / 曼煎粿 attributes its invention to Zuo Zongtang, a military leader of the late Qing dynasty. In 1855, the army of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom invaded the Fujian region and General Zuo was appointed to lead an army to crush the rebels. To provide the soldiers with food without interfering the life of local people, General Zuo decided to switch from the flatbread which was eaten together with spring onion and chilli sauce, to a pancake that used locally sourced and mass-produced ground cane sugar and peanut as filling. The recipe does seem to have spread throughout the Fujian region, especially around Quanzhou and later on throughout Southeast China. It was brought south into Southeast Asia or Nanyang by Hokkien and Teochew immigrants, especially to Singapore, and merchants spread it to neighbouring regions.
The attitude of chnese they always claim everything belong to them😂. Just look at the peranakan thingy whey they claim kebaya belong to them the fact that they just chinese who wear kebaya then claim to be peranakan lol.
@@cj-fx2kj I got this from Wikipedia and even cilisos article. And also which Chinese claim kebaya belongs to us? If some are then they are wrong. For most of us, we know kebaya is originally Malay costume. By the way, I'm Malaysian Chinese.
@@ELGtheMAN , kebaya is part of Peranakan Chinese culture born out of centuries of contact with local trading port communities. A fusion of 18th century European mantua-petticoat style adapted with Malay sarong batik and gold brooch.
@@khairulhelmihashim2510 ya, Malaysia all campur2, but that guy towards the end of the video just BS Apam balik history LOL When Laksaman Cheng Ho from China discover Tanah Melayu we all leave in harmony but the Dutch and British discovered Malaya, the attacked, made false accusations, pecah-belah all of us and colonized us.
Nice video. You made my heart jump. I remember the sleeper train from Johor Bahru to Kuala Lumpur. Sadly it disappeared years ago and no more sleeper train JB > KL.
Kedah, Perlis, Kelantan and Terenganu used to belong to Thailand. It was handed over to the British in the year 1904.. Thailand ate descendents of South China people same like Vietnam descendents of Yunan people of China. The place here used to be Thailand cities and later was taken over by the Malays from Indonesia.

Lovely channel...Dabong was flooded severely in 2014....Just RU-vid "Dabong 2014 flood" . . . the water level was up to the roof of the KTM train at Dabong station!
Always wanted to see train ride across a jungle. Like a track thats super integrated with nature like a safari ride. Closest one i found so far apart from minecraft.
Wow, the nasi goreng on the train was plain. Your cheap hotel room was clean and functional Bird's nest soup is not worth the bother! Apam balek/pancake is nice!!!
Sometimes we need to run away from town and be nice to nature...it will be the good for our mind and feeling...im Malaysian and village girl.i like to stay at village than town..i love natures.
The coaches of this train are actually from two separate trains, one from Johor Bahru, and one from Kuala Lumpur. The one from JB travels northwards, and the one from KL travels southwards. They meet at Gemas, and the coaches from this two trains are then merged and then head for Tumpat.
@@JaswantSingh-ym9zo from kl sentral stop at gemas.. then change train either the express rakyat timuran or shuttle.. but shuttle only reach kuala lipis.. if want to go to tumpat, change train again, the dmu from k. lipis to tumpat.. also there's dmu from k. lipis to dabong, then dabong to tumpat
6:40 the moment where I also laughing and cheering.. it maybe a Malaysian thing.. already watched this 3 times.. just to check something that maybe i miss looked..
Hi yan love your video of the mountain road so dangerous got goosebumps watching you you are eating to much breakfast you will get fat Patrick from London ❤
My wife is born and raised in Kota Bahru. For clairity there is No railway station in Kota Bahru. Nearest Station is Tumpat. Best food is the unique Nasi Dagang. Did you visit the famous Wet Market (Siti Khadijah Market) next to the Old Royal Palace ? Very unique. Stalls run by Women !!!!!!!!!
