Hi, i really enjoyed watching yout video in nha trang. It's my hometown. I hope you enjoyed it. And get a chance to visit the islands :) keep up the good work!
You're an immigrant, not expat
Hello. Watching your video. Question. What was your profession back in US? Thanks.
Like to watch the background scene.
I havent even taken the rail before, and I have been here for 60 years lol
Please tell me you plan to try now .... if only for the adventure
Penang is working on their Light Rapid transit system project which will be completed in a year or two.
I love hearing this... would be a game-changer for movement around the island
Condensed but informative and interesting, wonderful narratives. Thank you for sharing.
Nice video sharing
Thank you very much!

Lake Titiwangsa.
In the West your government treated Asian migrants as second class citizen, you shouldn't be upset if asian government treats westerners the same.
Malaysian truly Asia
New terminal buses to East Coast Malaysia will be ready soon by next year at the Gombak area near Utar university.
This is fantastic
Love all your videos about my country ❤
Thank you so much - I'm so glad you enjoy them
Hey there guy. I feel you're presenting Malaysia as if you are actually living like a local here which is nice. I'm a local Malaysian can I give you a new website for your channel free of charge - want to see how far you can take your channel and I'm happy to help
Where is this place.. the background looks stunnin.. i 've lived my whole life 20mins away fr KL...yet i've never been there 🤔
This was filmed at Taman Tasik Titiwangsa
@@SlowTravelProTipsOhh that's the place where I got my Kayaking certification several years ago. Hope that they are still around!
Try johor bahru...
Yes!
Subang Jaya/ Sunway Pyramid /PJ area is another good place to stay. all within amenities(Hospital/Accommodation/Hotel) and LRT/MRT stations and with various highways connecting to KL, Ipoh, amongst others
This is great advice for everyone to take a look at ....
Be. Carfuli if yu come to malaysia dant yu dont want want back to your contery broo
Hahahha this is true 👍
How do you support your living here? Supposedly you have a business, job or whatever. Unless you're a millionaire.
Why Malaysian in so friendly?, If in case you did not know. Its been taught to us from an early age in our culture even and our religion. Its even imbedded in one of our "The National Principles" Kesopanan dan Kesusilaan translate to " Good behaviour and morality" . This of course only local Malaysian which ever ethnicity would it be would know as they were broad up in Malaysia. If you ask a immigrant whether working legally or illegally they probably would not have known this.
First tip for you: Soon as you call yourself an “expat” when you’re in Asia, you’re starting on the wrong footing. If you really want to transform your life by being in Asia, a good place to start is your lexicon. It’s basic but it’s emblematic of real transformation from the inside. “Guest” is a good initial replacement for “expat”. If Asia has traction with you and you are resolved to making your life here, you transition to a local. If Asia’s not for you, then you were ever only a tourist. Straight-up, there’s no room for “expats” in Asia. Thanks.
Hi i am the person you just met😂
I'm so glad you stopped by to say hello!
I’ve been here 30 years originally from Seattle never looked back living the dream
I'm so happy to hear this! I think everyone wonders .... can the dream last?
@@SlowTravelProTips here’s the deal almost 90 percent of the how to move to Malaysia is bullshit. I’m on MM2H from way back. End of the day you must have money and lots of it. What’s written and what’s realty is two different things. I bought a beautiful condo in KL cost about RM2 million. To answer your question I’ve been here 30 years and just renewed my visa . I’ve mentioned this before but UA-cam guys of course don’t listen to the reality of living in Malaysia. End of the day you need to show immigrations you are wealthy. Any questions I’m the expert and by the way learning the language helps! I speak Malay
@@SlowTravelProTips 30 years man 👨 can it last up to you
I am the guy who filmed him😉 p.s don't forget to visit Uzbekistan, believe me you won't be disappointed my friend!
OMG I'm so glad you came back to watch it and say hello! Thank you so much sir. Uzbekistan YES please
A sincere moderate feedback. Thanks
If you were to book the bus ticket at TBS application itself, then you would get a QR code and you can just use that QR code to go to the platform. No need to line up to get the paper ticket.
You are most wellcome bro...forget about phobias ,we all from the same great2 father and mother(adam & eve)
Thank you
👍👍👍
Where ever i go, i always miss the weather here in Malaysia. ❤ my blessed country. Enjoy your life here mr slow traveller.
Thank you!
Enjoy our beautiful Malaysia 🇲🇾❤
I agree, Penang is nice to visit, but for long term stay, definitely KL.
Underrated is the best for Malaysia and all malaysians. If Malaysia becomes somewhere popular places like italy and france, everything will be messed. Please do not over promoting Malaysia to the world to come and live here. It is okay if they come for holiday and short-term working. If a lot of outside people come and live here, economic disaster will strike to the locals for sure. Malaysia is not ready for any budget to supply the needs for another millions people to come and stay here. Demand and supply could crash out of sudden. Inflation could happen and goods price will hike up higher. Government subsidies for low income malaysians no more exclusively for malaysian. I feared a lot of bad things could happen if too many foreigner come and stay here. Lets enjoy everything here just for us and keep it out of radar. If you think malaysia is a best place to live then do not tell others. Let this gem stay underrated forever.. Once you call other people to come and stay here forever that mean you are about to change Malaysia to the worst state forever. Not anymore as what you can see now.
5:45 Im hunting for non Malaysians who like Malaysia not for tourist traps. There's a pattern: it's millennials mid 30s to mid 40s, who have reflected on what's important, and is daring enough to live in an "backward Islamic" country. I've subscribed - tell me more about Malaysia.
👍
Tropical rainforests have been called the "jewels of the Earth" and the "world's largest pharmacy", because over one quarter of natural medicines have been discovered there😅
foreigners can live easily in our country malaysia because you use dollar money and change it to ringgit currency and the price of goods will continue to be expensive because outsiders have stable finances and the Malaysian government will withdraw all subsidized goods will be eliminated and make life difficult for us Malaysians
malaysia Underrated Country almost tourist from west and euro said you dont need expose my country to the world we"re prefer low profile too many foreign tourists overstay in Malaysia because they fail to get an extension visa after 30 days
It's like a documentary. Perhaps it might interest you to go back as far as the King Solomon times! It is here that he gets his gold by the grace of the hollow earth dwellers whose portals is in gunung Ledang. The Western colonizers were wondering why the Sultanates of Melaka is so opulent while his subjects are not industrious. Unlike the traders who get gold which adorned their temples back home through trading with the Sultans, the Western coloniser looted and ransacked their palaces, since the can't lay their hands on the gold in the hollow earth. Even though the Malay has all kinds of weapons and supernatural powers they have no comprehension of the wickedness of their attackers whom they welcomed as guests of honor inspite of their rudeness. The Malays usually use supernal power to deter confrantation because they did not wish to kill and incurred karma which disabled them to return the hollow earth. Those who retaliated are the ones that got stuck here in 3d with the rest of the hybrids. The Malays are the remnants of the Lemurian who stayed on the surface of the earth when the Lemurian continent sank. The rest stayed in th 5d of hollow earth or become merpeople in the 4d beneath the sea!
I use present tense for that time line that still exists and past tense in relation to this timeline
Wonderful. A few of your shots hurriedly shot reflect a healthy shyness and respect for the people you are sharing with the world. As a traveler of the world to its small places these are the cities I can dream of visiting
If people can't get out there themselves, I'm trying to take them there and tell the story ...
Interesting stuff. May I ask if you have any info on the dentists of Malaysia ? I have heard that they offer good value in either KL ,Penang or other principal cities . Thanks.
I really cannot speak to this... I don't know
have you visited my hometown kuching?
I have not ... yet. I think a few people now have recommended, so it's on the list for later
I like Malaysia, everyone seems nice, reminds me of mountainous Florida.
Wow, this is one long hymn to Kuala Lumpur! :-)))) You're doing an even better job than the Tourism board of Malaysia itself!
Wow, thank you!
