Those passing scenes of mountains & greenery during the bus trips , provoke feelings of peaceful tranquillity doesn't it?. Your Kiwi girlfriends seems fun to be around with. Glad you had a lovely time with your friends in Penang, Taylor. 😃😁
I'm headed to Malaysia, and I feel like you're giving me a warm welcome! Feeling a bit nervous as I start a new adventure, but watching your videos helps a lot. Thank you !
Wow! Another big adventure of yours, and very nice video. 👏👏😎 Thanks for sharing that with us. For sure, I got to see a different side of Malaysia the way you captured it.
Last time I visited Penang was 12years ago. Loved that little island, truly it’s the foodie capital of Malaysia. And watching your vlog is making me hungry!!
Taylor, I have found your channel last month and really enjoy watching your blog. I love to hear your voice. It is so soothing to hear. Stay safe and healthy 🙏😁
I have been to Penang seven times and loved it being there for holidays. Penang hill, botanical garden, Penang national park gives you the feel of rainforest. George Town is modern yet with culture. Loved your video of bus tour from KL to Penang. Cheers from India!!
Thanks for making this video for my beloved hometown Penang. I love taking the Aerobus to KL too. The bus is so comfortable and their service is great! I really love how they adopt the airline service concept into their bus service. Well, regarding the bridge, I usually just call it the 2nd Penang Bridge. All of you sure know how to find great food in Penang. I love Ananda Bahwan too, and it has been a while since I last dined there. I saw that you all dined in my favorite café called Acupaday! Hope you'll come back to Penang for another staycation. Thanks so much for having so much good things to say about my hometown.
Love your videos! I visited Penang 30 years ago and am very eager to return. Also interesting to meet your Kiwi friends. I'm an American living in New Zealand; I'm looking for a retirement getaway during the Kiwi winter. Penang could well be it! Look forward to your future videos.
Love your videos . This trip to Penang as really good. We are so looking forward to living in Malaysia 🇲🇾 KL particularly, your videos give us inspiration. Thx
Thanx for taking me a long on your trip to Penang Taylor. I would love you to put on your "to do" list a video comparing Penang and KL, cost of living, medical availability/quality, things to do, available amenities etc etc ??!!
Mr. Taylor, thank you for sharing. I enjoy your videos. You didn’t talk about the cost of the Airbnb which you were staying while in Penang. Could you please tell us the price? And could you also provide the contact information for the airbnb?
@@sueannetan4492 It was about rm 200 per night. They gave us the 3 bedroom tho since the one bedroom wasn’t ready. We just used one bedroom tho. 😊 Here’s the link. www.booking.com/Share-duA51n
Awesome video, Taylor! I was in Penang for a month in February. Loved it so much!!!! Def on my very short list as the preferred Malaysia semi retirement spot for me. While I loved KL too, it is so hustle bustle that I mind as well stay in San Francisco then. Life in Penang would be a tad slower which is what I really want.
Thank you for sharing your travel to Penang. We hope to find time away from work to visit Penang in early 2023. Penang is on our list of places to retire one day soon when we end our rat race in US. Please continue sharing your great videos! Subscribed!
Very nice! I visited KL four years ago and love the city and the skyscrapers! Like a tropical Manhattan! Next month I will visit Penang with my wife. Looking forward to that!
I'm glad that you enjoyed visiting Penang. I would drive up to Penang from KL which takes about 4 hrs just to enjoy the great foods and stay over 2 nights before returning to KL again. Thanks for walking us through your experience in Penang.
Thea IS so much fun! I’m trying to get her to start a channel and she’s reluctant. She is renovating a bus to live in and honestly that alone would be golden but combined with her personality she would be a star! 😊
Thankyou so much Taylor, I am travelling in January to KL in January, and planned to head to George Town for a few days, and was not sure of travel systems available, but you have sold me on the bus. It looks just fine.
Just booked my train from KL to Butter-worth , 81 RM . 👍 Tye Aero line bus looks great , didn’t realize that it went from KLCC , I thought it was only from the bus station on the outskirts.
Looked like a fun getaway. What originally attracted you to living in Penanag instead of KL? The variety of foods looks fantastic. And it all looked delicious. I think I would gain a few pounds there.
I have taken the train to the north but this bus looks great. I will give it a try when I do go to Penang one day. I haven’t been there since 2004 and your video makes me want to go there. Penang here I come. Thanks for the video.
This great video I like it and I like this bus and the service in so clean and they gave you blanket and pillow and a meal it is great they do do it here on the flight from Boston to Miami ,I can imagine the bus trip in Malaysia thank you again and I like to see train trip some day please say hello to Earl gray for me and be safe.
i did monthly bus rides whan I worked in Kedah. the best seats are the first two rows of the lower deck.. it's less wobbly. I can watch RU-vid or read from my phone for hours without my eyes getting tired..
Great video. Im traveling to KL next week and staying a month. Just found your channel, its great. I couldnt find any information regarding that bus company requiring antigen test before boarding.
Hi Taylor. Nice video of your short trip to Penang. You mentioned abt Cameron Highlands and casino as the bus passed Ipoh. Are you referring to the casino at Genting Highlands?
@@andrewtaylor4558 you should go check out both of them. But i would recommend you go there during weekdays, as the traffic during weekends is horrible. You can do a day trip to Genting. And should probably do a 3D2N or 4D3N in Cameron Highlands. Bring sweaters as it is pretty chilly up there.
Another excellent video, very interesting. I haven’t scanned the other comments to see if you have already answered this question, so I apologise if you have, but I am curious to know the cost of the bus from KL to Penang and back. I can certainly imagine if someone was living in KL like yourself, he or she would most likely take advantage of the excellent comfortable ride is appears to be. I can’t wait to see your next outdoor adventure, keep up the good work.
I love your videos, and this one is especially relevant since I'm visiting KL and Penang next month. I'm flying to KL from the US, staying in KL a few days (in the KL Sentral / Bangsar area), and then traveling to Penang. I was wondering about a few questions: 1) Since I'm not staying near Ampung Park/KLCC, does it still make sense (in terms of time) to take the bus, rather than going back to the airport to fly to Penang? Air Asia flights are not that much more expensive than the bus, but it seems like the bus might be a nicer experience than Air Asia (I'll be flying Air Asia twice later in my trip). 2) How far in advance would you recommend booking the Aeroline bus? I have accommodations booked, so I want to travel on a specific day. 3) Are taxis available at the Queensbay mall? I know Grab is popular in Malaysia, but I might not have mobile service without wifi. 4) Does the public bus stop at the mall and go to the Batu Ferringhi area? From what I could find, it seems like buses from the southern part of Penang connect to a different bus route around Georgetown to head towards the beach area.
The bus is easier and less expensive. I would book a week in advance. Plenty of taxis at Queesbay I don’t know about the bus from there. Have a great trip! 😊
Very nice and looked very comfortable. I like your choice of background music. It perfectly complimented your video. Two quick questions, round trip price and can one buy tickets online?
Nice bus! I took one once that all that was missing was a chicken and goat.🤣🤣 We got mosquito bites too! The bus barely made it up the incline on the bridge.
The bus looks very comfortable & you were not at all stressed by the journey, back in 1990 we took the night train from KL to Penang it was the most uncomfortable journey ever.
I wish you had been my art teacher in college. I would have learned more and would likely have a greater apperciation for art. Everyone in class would learned more.
Enjoy your vedeo n enjoy to see your retirement life.. Stay healthy.. Take care off yourself Mr Andrew Tylor..if got chance want to see you.. Chat with you.. Hehehe
Dear Friend ,I suggest you do much more of shooting in the Cities ,camera in front of you and we can see the sceneries of the cities ,rather than staying fixed inside your house ,thanks .
I would like to very much! The problem is that I am doing all of these videos with only an iPhone 8. I’ve tried shooting videos outside but the sound is just terrible. As soon as I can afford it I’ll be doing much more of what you suggest. I do subscribe to a Canadian guy who has never posted anything except from a chair in his living room showing some pics here and there. He has about 400,000 subscribers. I do go out quite a bit to shoot video, just not of me talking outside. Hope this explains things for you. It’s really lack of proper equipment. I’ve only been doing this for under 3 months. 😊
From the 1st of January 2023 the Malaysian government will charge an additional accommodation fee for all accommodation. Nationals or permanent residents are exempt. Credit and debit cards are only accepted, no cash transactions are accepted. Credit card details are retained so you are open for incidental charges long after you have checked out and gone. NEVER pay by credit or debit card, only pay when you check out, and only pay by cash and demand a receipt. Staff can also scam you if they have access to your card information, especially if they get access to your pin. After any National disaster or pandemic tourists are seen as wealthy targets for financial recovery. Stay home and keep your money home.
Strange...have not heard of such new 2023 standing payment directive for tourists from our govt yet. Malaysian stores, hotels or any hospitality services don't scam tourists of their charge cards details. We have to take care of our country's image. Tourism is an important revenue for us. We want tourists to come here again & again for their vacations or to live /work here. You must be refering to another developing country that you've not been to. Better you stay at home & don't travel either...😁
Oh, the restaurant is called Sri Ananda Bahwan. They have three locations, I believe. The one in the Video is on Macalister, one is in Georgetown and one in Tanjung Bungah. Hope that helps! 😊
@@andrewtaylor4558 making the currency conversion...not bad at all...KL and Penang have been on my radar to scope it out for future plans and your vids helping to give me even more info to work with...thanks
Oh, we don’t have to wear masks anymore but many still choose to. I don’t know about unhealthy since I have gone almost 3 years now without so much as a head cold, the longest period in my life, I’ll keep wearing mine. 😊
