Olivia was so cute.baby face and petite..mario was so chill and relax..can be a great companion.great for both of you❤keep safe always you guys…😊and keep on making wonderful videos
For your next trip, do check out these places instead. Instead of Penang, check out Perak for better food selection. Kuala Kangsar and Taiping was a great start, but Ipoh have a lot of foodie spots. Instead of going to Genting/Cameron for highlands, check out Bukit Tinggi and Janda Baik off the Bentong town and Frasers Hill for a more charming and laid back vibe. On the way to Kelantan, do take a moment to stop by Cherating beach for a very quiet as well as surfer spot in the area. There is also turtle sanctuary nearby. Kenyir lake can be a hit or miss, but when you know some locals, you can score a very scenic spots and can truly be within the wild. Especially if you like to check out the fishing scene. This is also a nice place to stay on a boathouse. Pahang goes underrated with foreigners but among locals, it is a local destination for a quick get away. An hour or two off Kuala Lumpur have a few hills and mountain hikes you can enjoy, if you are into that. Kuala Kubu Bharu and Ulu langat is within Selangor state, which have the same vibe as Taiping old town. Seeing your love for nature, i think west Malaysia would be your ideal place in Malaysia. Do check out the Rainforest Music Festival which happens annually in Sarawak.
Lovely suggestions & descriptions man.. There's always some good alternatives cater for different taste and style of travelling here in Malaysia. Indeed respective locals will give u good insight/reco for places. Even when i travel to small town or remote district will randomly ask around which most of the time won't disappoint.
Using a motorcycle for long journeys is quite challenging in the hot rain and the safety of heavy vehicles such as trucks and trailers, both of you are great and tough
Actually between redang and perhentian there is one famous island for baby sharks. Lang tengah. People also take padi lessons there. Redang is like perhentian besar, full of family resorts. But redang a a huge island with a small airport like tioman. Yes, due to lack of information, tioman to you was a challenge. But nevertheless, you tasted it.
ill be in Malaysia when my thai visa expires in mid august. first time going there. not to sure what to expect.i watched you guys vids and others but.. im going to langkawi for 7 days, penang george town 4 & KL 2..i love big cities,im from a big city but i also love the beach. perhentian islands looked good to but i dont have time.
Appreciate for the honest and fair view. Not every tourist like big city with crowded visitors. The best thing about Malaysia is it offers a lot, from Big modern city, seculaded places, islands, jungles, parks, malls, wild animals, culture, food etc. You have variety of choices you can choose...but the best of malaysia is its people.❤
Good summary. I totally agree as I love nature too. We ride in groups of big bikes ending with a dive in waterfall wherever we go. You will probably like pos yum or kuala mu. Place of the native people.
Thank you for promoting Malaysia especially a road trip Our infrastructure and road culture more civilised than most asean countries...accomodations cheap and readily available
Thank you for your reviews and opinions.. Its really shows that both of you love more about natural and cultures. It may contradict with others who love more about development and modern vibes. So its great for you enjoy road trip from west to east peninsular. Next time you may enjoy east coast road trip from kota bharu, kuala terengganu and down to mersing. It's really great coastal vibes but make sure its around March to August. And also be prepare for more natural surrounding and some places far from town. But you already face it during road trip from west to east. So it may similar but with coastal vibes. But to enjoy more of it, plan for road trip from kuching to kota kinabalu. It really great natural vibes but be prepare for more dangerous wildlife in many places. Don't simply get into water as you did in peninsular. Ask the local first before get into any river or beaches.
Excellent video, full of usefull tips not only for those who are thinking of taking a road trip but also locals that have an intention of going for a holiday as well. Great job hope you have safe journey ahead, cheers👍
I would recommend travel by public transport or car either rent or grab apps on main road or big highway. A motor for rural area or village. Weather in malaysia is hot humid u have to be prepared whatever u need. Best island for me perhentian island ✅ tioman ✅ redang ✅ rawa ✅ besar ✅ semporna ✅ thank you for coming to malaysia
They have mentioned it as Belum State National Park (Royal Belum State Park) at 14:02. Belum is the name of the jungle area. Temenggor is name of the lake. And Banding is the name of the island where the road cross the lake.
Thanks so much guys.what you both do for our country is in a good and sincere way. sorry what is lacking in our place is from us and what is good is from the almighty creator Allah. keep up the good work guys & we love you guys
Kelantan and Terengganu deserve the Unesco's Heritage recognition. The local cultures are still widely preserved.,super rustic and traditional. Lenggong and Kuala Kangsar is another hidden gem for locals and tourists.
@@keangwooichoo6138 mak yong and menora are still practiced in kelantan and Besut Terengganu..the fatwa back then was because it has an animistic concept which the government prohibit later they uplift the ban and allow both dances as long as it does not consist of animistic practices.
The most honest review from non Malaysian influencer. That's my opinion after witching so many travel video by non Malaysian. I watched 2 or 3 episodes of this channel and thought it is quite regular but wacthing this episode changed my view. Thanks to both of you. I prefer your commentary than mario😂😂😂
Laos and Cambodia are not developed, and there are vast untouched forests. Their culture is completely preserved if that is what you're looking for. Malaysia is a developing country, and the landscape of the country has changed a lot over the years.
If you go to Johor Bahru don't go to the town. Johor has a lot of islands too. U need to go to Desaru, Kota Tinggi. Johor has a lot of beaches also. If you go to town it is quite expensive because their target is Singapore.
Yes. Penang is overrated. Kedah & Perlis up north have lots more to offer than Penang . I'd rather go to the east coast if i really want to choose the best places in Malaysia. Cameron Highland overdeveloped and now it has lost its appeal. Genting... nasty place that one. Perhaps only gamblers would find it appealing. I personally hope that the Genting casino will be demolished some day & gone for good.
Actually there are many places in the state of Johor, you should have visited , there are 2 national parks or Endau Taman negara. It's known as low land rain forest. It's really beautiful retreat for nature lovers.
There’s a third highland, called Fraser’s Hill which is less developed than Genting, less commercialized/ agriculturally commercialized than Cameron. Not much to do there, just chill and relax. There were many colonial cottages with in-stay butlers, but I’m not sure they are still in operation. These guys can make you a whole spread just like how it was done British-style. The main event is the International Bird Race, and also the Le Tour de Langkawi cycling which i think no longer goes to Fraser’s Hill (Need to check the annual calendar events). Locals go up to Cameron Highlands for a night stay during weekends, Fraser’s Hill tend to be a day trip. I would rate Fraser’s Hill #1, followed by Cameron and lastly Genting. Ppl normally go to Tioman for scuba diving, as well as to nearby smaller island like Aur Island. Great if you would consider taking up the open water basic license, and then going to these islands for the advanced license. Reason: basic license you learn techniques which u want to get right and clear understanding of the steps, advanced license are geared towards different type of activites to learn, but most importantly, u would be descending deeper into the ocean, and that u wouldn’t freak out. It’s a very good, especially if u planning to go to Borneo side of Malaysia, as there are many great dive sites there. There’s a combined license as well, but i wouldnt recommend that, coz I believe in getting ur basic right, then explore. Lastly, most dive sites are seasonal due to the monsoon be it at the East Coast or East Malaysia, so do check out the weather and do check with the dive operators, especially on what kind of marine life you want to spot. (I would want to dive at Turtle Tomb one day at Sipadan, but I have yet to find out more when’s the best time and requirements)
As a Dutchman living in Malaysia for many years i find your video / commands interesting I have to disagree on some of the things you say You didnt like Penang? Penang is a beautiful place one of the best places in Malaysia it is not for nothing called the pearl of the orient It has some interesting places to go and see and it also has some nice beaches You mentioned Cameron highlands and how there was no going in to the jungle this is not true In Cameron highlands you can book guided jungle tracking. They bring you in to the jungle with a 4 wheel drive I know people on vacation / holiday have only so much time aand so many things to see But you never mentioned my home town Melaka paradise city but i guess if you dont like Penang you wont like Melaka An other place to go to is Ipoh Next time you come maybe try to find information or just ask local people
@@marianaatan410 i agree it is a matter of preference but she mention things that is not true like she said they thought Cameron highlands is a place for jungle tracking but than found out it is not well i have been to Cameron highlands countless times and it definitely is a place where you can do this there are many guided jungle tracking offered and you can ask any Malaysian if i`m right or wrong this makes me think they have not done a proper research about the places they go and dont get me wrong i understand if they didnt because when you travel you have just so much time and so many things to see. And saying Penang was not a place they like i can not understand in the whole world Penang is known as the pearl of the orient how can you say it is not a nice place. There are a number of things to do and see in Penang from old architecture to nice beaches and among Malaysians famous food places or Penang hill or Kek Lok Si temple which is the largest Buddhist temple in Malaysia and many more. I thought when you travel to a foreign country you want to know about the culture of that country. She also didnt mention Melaka which also has a very rich old history and is probably the place where everything started in Malaya Also here are many things to see and explore like harmony street where you have Chinese + Indian temple and Islamic mosque side by side and one can argue it is 1 of very few places in the world where different religions are so near together in harmony the Buddhist temple there by the way is the oldest Buddhist temple in south east Asia I think they missed out on many things
@@willidevegt8831 tbh i also has very low interest to go to cameron highland ever again. mainly due to the traffic conditions there these days. the traffic congestion there is very bad. i think thats the reason they dislike cameron highland. they tend to dislike high traffic places and overly crowded in spaces.
@@marianaatan410 Hello and good day Mariana not sure you watch the video or not the point that she made was not about traffic the point she made was that when they went to Cameron highlands they thought you can do jungle tracing but than she said they where disappointed to find out you can not do jungle tracing in Cameron highlands and i just only made the point that what she says is wrong there are multiple places in Cameron highlands that offer guided jungle tracing i feel when you make a video for others to see who than have to make up their mind if they want to visit that place you should give the right information. What if some one from Europe thinks he or she want to go to Malaysia Cameron highlands for jungle tracing and this person watches the video where it is said there is no jungle tracing and than change plan to go to an other place and because of that misses out on a very nice opportunity because of wrong information And by the way I`m in Malaysia around 15 years and i can tell you there is always a lot of traffic there thats why you need to plan properly like dont go on public or school holidays And yes she mentioned about Penang they felt to many people but come on to many people doesn't make it that Penang is not aa nice place to visit Also for Penang and by right for any tourist place in Malaysia you have to plan to avoid the crowds like i said before dont go on public or school holidays if you dont like the crowds For my wife and me we love Penang because it is very simple and safe to walk every where that way you also avoid traffic jams For example KL (Kuala Lumpur) we always park our car near KLCC and from there we walk or take public transport again easy to avoid traffic jams See thats the thing get the right information before you go and plan properly All places in Malaysia are great but do your homework and plan before you say oh that place is not nice because so and so or we thought you can do jungle tracing but we found out can not when there are many places offering jungle tracing Any way just my few cents have a nice day Mariana and dont let traffic stop you from going places you will miss out
@@willidevegt8831 u know almost everyone in malaysia. im a malaysian btw. everyone that visited the place complained on the traffic coditions and overcrowded issues. its the main issues of cameron highland since 10 years ago. it will affect your mood especially if youre a person that dislike overcrowded places. they didnt complained about it but im pretty sure they complained about the overcrowded in penang streets. both have similarities, small spaces and too much vehicles/people.
Not many have achieved such feat. Good evaluation on places to visit and not worth 2nd visit. I'm from Shah Alam and i think the best cities to live permanently and have such good vibes are Kota Bharu, Dungun, Kangar and Kuching. Where to next Mario & Olivia? Edit: You should try another route from Cameron Highlands to Gua Musang to Kuala Terengganu. You have to spare extra gas though for this route. Locals will advise u to not go thru this route after 7pm because of wild elephants and other animals. The road isn't good, potholes everywhere tho. But the best thing about this route is you won't find it anywhere else. The scenic view of Tasik Kenyir from slightly higher altitude. Mario would drop his jaw if he flies his drone there. Magnificent view. I drove well around Malaysia couple of times but nothing beats this view. I didn't stop to fly drone there because i was alone and didnt wanna stop because of wild tigers. I drove there for a few hours only saw one other car along the stretch.
I ve just been to pulau kapas first time in february..it is sooo amazing,quite n peace place..the best view when u hike in bukit singa..get prepared for massive sunburn😅..it is sooooo hot there.
Honestly I have no motorcycle and never know how to handle it 😅 I always driving my cars travel anywhere everywhere ..my opinion, it's quite dangerous to travel long journey with small motorcycle especially on highway or on busy roads..so be carefully & wish drive safe.
Hi guys , thanks so much because you all guys doing good about all your content you tube.. I love so much that.. you are my Malaysian ambasador as well.. bro Mario and Sis Olivia you guys alway in my minds.. and love you so much guys ❤❤❤❤❤ Take care..💋💋💋💋💋💕💕💕
You are right. All you said is true. Penang is too crowded but a food haven though. I never like genting highland and cameron. There is no spectacular beach in JB. Spot on
I wanna do the same. i have done East Malaysia from Kota kinabalu to Sepilok and the Kinabatangan River and back but not west yet. I ran out of fuel twice on my back and had to knock on some of the little metal shack houses for a bottle of fuel haha luckily locals helped..... & your right. KL Is absolutely incredible, especially if your a foodie like me! Very very cool place.
Cameron Highland is popular with locals but had lost its former charms of cool climates and pristine mountains due excessive and haphazard developments. Become more and more overcrowded especially on weekends and public holidays.
I agreed so much with your opinion. If you like to see the nature, go for a day hike at some selected places like the Fraser's Hill, Pahang and the Mount Angsi in Negeri Sembilan.
Johor is family oriented, which is great for kids but may not suit anyone over 13. Everywhere else you dislike is mainly non-Malay areas, which tend to get destroyed in the name of money.
Fraser's Hill is my favourite out of the 3 main highlands. Smallest oif the 3 but least commercial. I'm not sure if the annual bird watching event is still held there. And there's Mount Tahann in Taman Negara, Lake Kenyir, Tempurung cave and Titiwangsa range for camping.
Excellent Video. BTW UA-cam seem to have changed the layout...Likes and comments on right of screen....I couldn't find it, even though it was infront of me for 10 mins!
I think Penang is over rated. The beaches r not that clean, the streetfood places did not seem so clean either n the culture is more chinese than anything else.😅.
penang ni kalau area pulau more to british style sebab francis light punya pembangunan dulu kan..aku lagi prefer belah perai..pulau masuk cari nasik kandar ok la
Georgetown is basically just a glorified chinatown with the so called "unesco" logo lol. yes, many of the hawker stalls are filthy. in fact, a lot of famous nasi kandar restaurants was repeatedly raided by the authorities due to its uncleanliness 😅.
agree with you...like Penang Hill is just an overhyped Hill, the beaches are just ordinary, there are too many concrete jungle. The food is good but there are other places with better food.
@@MrQalamQabut So. Nak aku buat karangan ka? Aku nak habaq ja kat dia kampung aku. Sukahati la nak jemput ka dak? Tak femes pun tak pa. Tak kalut. Tak serabut. Buat kalut boleh hang ni.
@@ONESiXdesign Pikiaq la bagi lebih selangkah ke depan... Hehehehhh... Kan elok kalau komen "Come. I will treat you lunch/dinner." tu masuk sama dalam komen awai hang... Aku tak sanggup nak jemput sebab nak keluaq rumah pun jarang sangat dah. Tapi kalau jumpak pelancong sekali sekala, aku tegoq...
As a malaysian, we really appreciate your roadtrip despite the rain and sunburn. Ouch.
As a malaysian i can't agree more with your opinions regarding the favorite and not favorite places.. You've given immaculate opinions.. Terrific.
Right
Thanks!

Very Well explained 👏🏻👏🏻 moving there with in a few months 💕💕 can’t wait to be there 😍😍
Malaysia the best country in the world.no need worry if you round all malaysia county .safety country everywhere you go.❤❤❤❤
i dont like penang too..n cameron when its crowded with people..but if not..then its one of my fav..bcoz of cool weather

I would suggest 2 days in Penang and 4 days in KL
Sounds like a good plan, Langkawi is great for beaches too!
Put on a light long-sleeved shirt or jacket whenever you're on your motorbike. The sun is quite harsh in Malaysia unlike in cold countries.

nah, i put a lot of sunscreen + jacket..
Mengembara jelajah dipelusuk kawasan dengan bermotosikal bersaiz besar lebeh comfortable dan safer berbanding dgn kapcai
I recommend to you guys go to Kuching, Sarawak which is in East Malaysia Borneo island more nature and aesthetic town👍
Next time!
Whatever it is, hope that you guys have had a marvelous adventure traveling on road in peninsular Malaysia.
Thank you for promoting Malaysia especially a road trip
Our infrastructure and road culture more civilised than most asean countries...accomodations cheap and readily available

I do think malaysia is a beautiful country. there are beautiful islands, cool highlands and well developed cities and towns all in a country!
East Coast Peninsular Malaysia the best way to explore

As a Dutchman living in Malaysia for many years i find your video / commands interesting
I have to disagree on some of the things you say
You didnt like Penang? Penang is a beautiful place one of the best places in Malaysia it is not for nothing called the pearl of the orient
It has some interesting places to go and see and it also has some nice beaches
You mentioned Cameron highlands and how there was no going in to the jungle this is not true
In Cameron highlands you can book guided jungle tracking.
They bring you in to the jungle with a 4 wheel drive
I know people on vacation / holiday have only so much time aand so many things to see
But you never mentioned my home town Melaka paradise city but i guess if you dont like Penang you wont like Melaka
An other place to go to is Ipoh
Next time you come maybe try to find information or just ask local people
its a matter of preference. theyre definitely have a certain unique taste for nature and simplicity.

@@willidevegt8831 tbh i also has very low interest to go to cameron highland ever again. mainly due to the traffic conditions there these days. the traffic congestion there is very bad. i think thats the reason they dislike cameron highland. they tend to dislike high traffic places and overly crowded in spaces.
@@marianaatan410 Hello and good day Mariana not sure you watch the video or not the point that she made was not about traffic the point she made was that when they went to Cameron highlands they thought you can do jungle tracing but than she said they where disappointed to find out you can not do jungle tracing in Cameron highlands and i just only made the point that what she says is wrong there are multiple places in Cameron highlands that offer guided jungle tracing i feel when you make a video for others to see who than have to make up their mind if they want to visit that place you should give the right information. What if some one from Europe thinks he or she want to go to Malaysia Cameron highlands for jungle tracing and this person watches the video where it is said there is no jungle tracing and than change plan to go to an other place and because of that misses out on a very nice opportunity because of wrong information
And by the way I`m in Malaysia around 15 years and i can tell you there is always a lot of traffic there thats why you need to plan properly like dont go on public or school holidays
And yes she mentioned about Penang they felt to many people but come on to many people doesn't make it that Penang is not aa nice place to visit
Also for Penang and by right for any tourist place in Malaysia you have to plan to avoid the crowds like i said before dont go on public or school holidays if you dont like the crowds
For my wife and me we love Penang because it is very simple and safe to walk every where that way you also avoid traffic jams
For example KL (Kuala Lumpur) we always park our car near KLCC and from there we walk or take public transport again easy to avoid traffic jams
See thats the thing get the right information before you go and plan properly
All places in Malaysia are great but do your homework and plan before you say oh that place is not nice because so and so or we thought you can do jungle tracing but we found out can not when there are many places offering jungle tracing
Any way just my few cents have a nice day Mariana and dont let traffic stop you from going places you will miss out
@@willidevegt8831 u know almost everyone in malaysia. im a malaysian btw. everyone that visited the place complained on the traffic coditions and overcrowded issues. its the main issues of cameron highland since 10 years ago. it will affect your mood especially if youre a person that dislike overcrowded places. they didnt complained about it but im pretty sure they complained about the overcrowded in penang streets. both have similarities, small spaces and too much vehicles/people.
Not many have achieved such feat. Good evaluation on places to visit and not worth 2nd visit.
I'm from Shah Alam and i think the best cities to live permanently and have such good vibes are Kota Bharu, Dungun, Kangar and Kuching.
Where to next Mario & Olivia?
Edit: You should try another route from Cameron Highlands to Gua Musang to Kuala Terengganu. You have to spare extra gas though for this route. Locals will advise u to not go thru this route after 7pm because of wild elephants and other animals. The road isn't good, potholes everywhere tho.
But the best thing about this route is you won't find it anywhere else. The scenic view of Tasik Kenyir from slightly higher altitude. Mario would drop his jaw if he flies his drone there. Magnificent view.
I drove well around Malaysia couple of times but nothing beats this view. I didn't stop to fly drone there because i was alone and didnt wanna stop because of wild tigers. I drove there for a few hours only saw one other car along the stretch.
We did miss out on a couple places in the centre, maybe we will visit next time!
I ve just been to pulau kapas first time in february..it is sooo amazing,quite n peace place..the best view when u hike in bukit singa..get prepared for massive sunburn😅..it is sooooo hot there.
Yay Taiping is on the good list!
Honestly I have no motorcycle and never know how to handle it 😅 I always driving my cars travel anywhere everywhere ..my opinion, it's quite dangerous to travel long journey with small motorcycle especially on highway or on busy roads..so be carefully & wish drive safe.
Love watching all ur videos 😀😍🙏 im a fan from Philippines
You are absolutely right about Johor Bahru. All of them
Nothing there?
@@keangwooichoo6138 nothing of tourists attraction. Most hotels are far below expectations.
This was a great video, I added a few stared places for my upcoming trip.
Hi guys , thanks so much because you all guys doing good about all your content you tube.. I love so much that.. you are my Malaysian ambasador as well.. bro Mario and Sis Olivia you guys alway in my minds.. and love you so much guys ❤❤❤❤❤
Take care..💋💋💋💋💋💕💕💕
Thanks so much!
If you still wish to ride n explore East Malsyai, U can fly to East Malaysia, Kota Kinabalu...there is a bike for rent service
bro im waiting10 days to see your new video travelling around malaysia.i like your content
Mario... Mario where are you.. you didn't appear 😅 Miss you
He's here, just a camera man this time 😅
Thanks for ur kind words.. I'd say it's spot on
You are right. All you said is true. Penang is too crowded but a food haven though. I never like genting highland and cameron. There is no spectacular beach in JB. Spot on
There's Rawa Island, off Mersing, Malaysia's best kept secret. 🙂
Thank you for this lovely journey… ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤🥰🥰🥰🥰
Glad you enjoyed it!
I wanna do the same. i have done East Malaysia from Kota kinabalu to Sepilok and the Kinabatangan River and back but not west yet. I ran out of fuel twice on my back and had to knock on some of the little metal shack houses for a bottle of fuel haha luckily locals helped..... & your right. KL Is absolutely incredible, especially if your a foodie like me! Very very cool place.
Cameron Highland is popular with locals but had lost its former charms of cool climates and pristine mountains due excessive and haphazard developments. Become more and more overcrowded especially on weekends and public holidays.
I usually go to cameron highlands if my state is on holiiday while the other states are not, like Rulers birthday or religious holidays.
One activity on Kapas island is squid fishing when in season.
this couple are fantastic 👏👏👍👌🫶😋 definately under rated youtubers👏👏👍🎉🎉🎉👌😋😋Deserving on many more subscribers🫶
We appreciate that 🙏
Do more research about johor bahru.. U will be surprise. Jb hv everything.
Would love to see a bike trip in Sarawak, Brunei and Sabah!
Maybe one day!
I agreed so much with your opinion. If you like to see the nature, go for a day hike at some selected places like the Fraser's Hill, Pahang and the Mount Angsi in Negeri Sembilan.
I suggest you to go and visit Gunung Jerai, in Kedah. it will remind you of Gunung Raya from Langkawi 😊
And you should visit Royal Belum too.
Yes i couldn't agree more ..
Johor is family oriented, which is great for kids but may not suit anyone over 13. Everywhere else you dislike is mainly non-Malay areas, which tend to get destroyed in the name of money.
JB, penang and cameron and genting highland...agree with you 100%
Hidden gem in Langkawi is Tuba island...only 20 minutes by boat from Langkawi
👏🏻👏🏼👏🏽 Well said & choreographed! 🏍️💨
MERSING on the eastern coast would have been better than staying in Johor. It also has ferry trips to some beautiful islands
We did go there 🙂
Fraser's Hill is my favourite out of the 3 main highlands. Smallest oif the 3 but least commercial. I'm not sure if the annual bird watching event is still held there. And there's Mount Tahann in Taman Negara, Lake Kenyir, Tempurung cave and Titiwangsa range for camping.
Kelantan, perhentian island, and taiping is my fave. I didn't expect that in your list ❤
I think JB's business/market is mainly targeting Singaporeans so yeah.... the prices ⬆⬆
If you survived driving in KL, Malaysia, you can drive anywhere in the world lol
Riding a bike in Ho Chi Minh is on another level.
You guys are awesome, just like Malaysia 😎
Love the long journey vlogs and glad you guys safe and in a good health 🥳💪
take noted that in Malaysia many dont say use 'navigation' but they say 'Waze' even they mean use google map, they still say 'Waze'
Excellent Video. BTW UA-cam seem to have changed the layout...Likes and comments on right of screen....I couldn't find it, even though it was infront of me for 10 mins!
for johor if you like the more quiet and traditional vibe do visit muar or just any kampung actually.
Do it again, you might be surprised to discover something new in malaysia
spot on. could not agree more
It must be nicer if you mention the state where perhentian island,redang island and kapas island are situated. It is in Terengganu. My beloved state.🙂
girl i love your vibe. bless u
This is definitely the right way to travel
I’ll like Kuching SARAWAK
im glad you have a good vibes on my hometown Taiping.
It's beautiful!
I think Penang is over rated. The beaches r not that clean, the streetfood places did not seem so clean either n the culture is more chinese than anything else.😅.
penang ni kalau area pulau more to british style sebab francis light punya pembangunan dulu kan..aku lagi prefer belah perai..pulau masuk cari nasik kandar ok la
Georgetown is basically just a glorified chinatown with the so called "unesco" logo lol. yes, many of the hawker stalls are filthy. in fact, a lot of famous nasi kandar restaurants was repeatedly raided by the authorities due to its uncleanliness 😅.
agree with you...like Penang Hill is just an overhyped Hill, the beaches are just ordinary, there are too many concrete jungle. The food is good but there are other places with better food.
Nasi Kandar Penang terbaik.
@@AminCorea this i agree...
Hey, Ulu Muda is my village. 😃
Patut la Ulu Muda tak fames, tuan rumah pun boleh komen setakat enam patah perkataan saja... Hahaha...
It looks beautiful! Wished we could've visited
@@MrQalamQabut So. Nak aku buat karangan ka? Aku nak habaq ja kat dia kampung aku. Sukahati la nak jemput ka dak? Tak femes pun tak pa. Tak kalut. Tak serabut. Buat kalut boleh hang ni.
@@TravelsonToast Come. I will treat you lunch/dinner.
@@ONESiXdesign
Pikiaq la bagi lebih selangkah ke depan...
Hehehehhh... Kan elok kalau komen "Come. I will treat you lunch/dinner." tu masuk sama dalam komen awai hang...
Aku tak sanggup nak jemput sebab nak keluaq rumah pun jarang sangat dah. Tapi kalau jumpak pelancong sekali sekala, aku tegoq...
Not many visit Taiping... thanks you guy did.
