Malaysia is a place that while watching I have a constant smile 😊 🫶

@ALFAGOMMA 7 месяцев назад

For me it was great to see the Cameron Highlands again but I barely recognised it. I visited there way back, firstly in 1986 and again in 1989. Back then there were only shanty towns, but it was so enjoyable with hawker stalls and very few tourists. And as you discovered, the cool climate is a welcome relief from the sweltering heat of the lowlands. To be honest, now it looks spoiled by development and tourism but this is the way of the world. Glad I visited when I had the opportunity.

@debsblue6426 7 месяцев назад

Always enjoy watching your videos and adventures here every Sunday in the USA. Curious why Marianne is the only one to drive. She does a great job. She navigates some of the most narrow areas. Much respect!❤❤

@jonmath4182 7 месяцев назад

Yeah she is really good behind the wheel! 👍 I cannot forget driving down to Bath and a couple other english countryside last year, where the roads were really really narrow! Once I even had to stop then reverse my car for more than 30 metres to a spot with a bit of grassed shoulder on one side, to allow the other car coming from the opposite direction to pass 😳

@TREADtheglobe 7 месяцев назад

Thanks Deb - yep Chris does the navigating, filming and editing (also the TREAD business stuff too) I love driving so it works for us - but Chris can and has driven if it is a long driving shift 😉🙌💃

Ahhh clotted cream with a bowl of strawberries and cups of tea in a slightly chilly afternoon, seated at a round wooden table set in the large yard of a randomly found cafe and bar as I was driving through the english countryside just last year... Lovely memories 🥰💖

Loving the Malaysia videos. Reminds me of my time working in Singapore and KL. The food is amazing, Laksa, chicken rice, rendang and fish head curry. I am drooling thinking about it. I used to drink Liptons tea with two bags until I discovered BOH tea, it's good.

if you like the highlands, maybe you can retire in Kundasang, Sabah. It'll be much cheaper, but it's a small town, so it might not have everything you want/need. but the views of Mt. Kinabalu are stunning and the climate is perfect.

Wish u guys hav stayed at cameron highland resorts. A bit on the pricer side but it’s worth it. For a more rustic and unspoiled highland experience, u can also consider Fraser’s Hill. This you need to plan ur accom and travel route (there are two roads, but one is very narrow and has timing schedule up and down the road, the other is some times subjected to potential landslides). But if u enjoy nature and hiking, Fraser’s Hill is the place for you. Fun Fact: Jim Thompson of the Thai Silk business got lost there and never been found
