As a Sarawakian, I'm disagree. That will be capital city that has clean environment. Try to visit Bau (still clean and has good food) and go deeper village, there you will se scraps of plastics and mask. Every time I jog around my neighborhood, I have to take rubbish near the road then throw into rubbish bin. Most of our neighborhood still hasn't get the education on how important to secure cleanness and hygiene. I hope this new government will take notice.
@@ryanoneiljohnson8743 I agree that there is too much plastic lying around everywhere. Everyone needs to learn to put their rubbish in designated areas, like dustbins or bring it home and dispose of it there. There is still much to improve here in Sarawak on this matter.
@@ryanoneiljohnson8743 Well you do found rubbish in every parking lot especially discarded face masks. I live in Bau for all my life & most people here had high degree education. Arrogant and laziness on caring for cleanliness are slowly consumed Sarawakian.
I haven't been back to Kuching for almost 2 years thanks to Covid. This is the longest time I have been unable to come back and spend time with my Mum. I wish everyone will be safe back there and may all of us get through this tough time together with strength
I know how you feel! I have not been back to The Netherlands for over 3 years. I was supposed to visit my family in April last year, but all travel plans are on hold for now.. Hopefully things change soon!
I'm from England and my wife she from Sarawak she IBAN she from kapit she got family in Miri.. I love food and people so nice. I'm hoping next 6 years time we moving back to Sarawak for good..I miss food and family. I love night market in Miri...100% best food in Sarawak..I love weather it's very hot..when I was there in Miri long time go I went to parkson do best Sweets and sour food
Looks like Sarawak will be showing up on a lot of people's radar now that Malaysia has changed their MM2H visa to nearly impossible to meet requirements for most foreigners while Sarawak has kept their MM2H visa requirements the same and quite doable. My wife and I had been considering the Malaysia MM2H visa for 3 or 4 years now but that all came to an end several weeks ago. Now we are looking at Sarawak quite seriously. We have enjoyed watching your videos and learning about life in Sarawak.
Hey William, thanks for your comment. I'm very happy that the Sarawak Government maintains their MM2H-S Programme. I have a Spouse Visa myself, but I believe Sarawak is a beautiful place to live for anyone who is keen on the MM2H programme.
Morning, wow that wonderful & believe me u will not regrets living here..We respect,humble, friendly,Good Foods,Rain forest Forest to explore & many more..See ya.. StaySafe n Have a Great Day Ahead.😷🙏✌️🇲🇾🤜

I live in Sarawak (Kuching, Sibu, Sarikei) for 5 years while I was studying at Unimas. Too bad I was poor as a student & couldn't travel much. I'm looking forward to visiting Sarawak again in the future as a tourist. plus my best friend is from Sarawak too, more reason to go there.
You are talking about Sarawak with so much love and passion, that it sometimes hurts. But I know. I know its for real and in your heart. And I do understand everything, because I have Sarawak in my heart for so many reasons as well. Its a tragedy we cant go and visit....but I know you are so happy xx

*Welcome to Sarawak Borneo Malaysia Truly Asia Big Rainforest Good food -Enjoyed & Many More, Thanks sharing very good videos* 🇲🇾💝❤️🩹💗♥️🥰🤩😍♥️💗❤️🩹💝💟♥️🇲🇾
I love your Video, im English , first time i came here was in 1980. Fell in love with place. Been living here 14 years full time. I live in Siniawan Bau. i agree with eveything you say. In 1980, stayed here one month, in that time i only saw one white man, and that was myself, my reflection in a shop window. Kuching was very small then, about the same size as Sibu. the only way to the airport was Jalan Penrisen. Tabun was all pineapple fields, from 4 mile to airport was also pine apple fields. We both found paradise. regards Martin
Hey Martin! Thanks for your comment. I can imagine things were very different 40 years ago. I love watching old footage of Kuching from decades ago. Even in the past 10 years that I have been here things have changed a lot! I hope to run into you some day, feel free to say hi if you see me. I regularly go to The Bikalan in Siniawan.
Love Malaysia-Borneo I have lived in Sarawak for 2 years because I studied at a institute there and I have traveled in several districts in Sarawak, now with the Pan Borneo Highway it will be easier to explore Borneo-Sabah & Sarawak, Eastern Malaysia.
Kuching City is the 4th largest city in the whole country and probably the 2nd or the 3rd most modern city in the country which not many Malaysian knew about or probably refuse to accept the fact.
dude 10 years living here makes you Sarawakian already.. we are proud having you here bro as part of our community, not many foreigners can accept our ways of living, our spicy food, our unique culture, especially our miserable roads.. you know what i mean right? hahaha! Sarawak, More Then A Paradise..
Encik Zakaria-You are welcome to Sarawak. Iam glad you have seen and know so much about Sarawak. The number of ethnic groups in Sarawak as provided in the Sarawak Ordinance is if I am not mistaken is 32 or 34.
Thanks for loving Sarawakian as much we do. Watching this make me miss my hometown more. Feel like we are trading places. You from abroad came and live in Sarawak and I am from Sarawak left and live abroad for almost 20 years now.
Thanks Nick, you're promoting Sarawak to the Eyes of the world, we're glad to have you as the citizens of Sarawak and as part of the communities as well. Keep it up and do your job. Anyway, as you had loved Sarawak sooo well, we too, loved you for what you had given fully and Crystal Clear informations of Sarawak where about.... Very3 gooood. 😎😍👍👌👌👌❤
I'm headed to Mulu next month, didn't realize it used to be the largest cave system in the world until they found Son Doong in Viet Nam. Super hyped! Sabah and Sarawak are the best well-kept secret of Southeast Asia. I'm actually planning to do a three week trip and return three weeks later for another three week trip. Clearly I'm hooked!
Wow.. Im so proud you love our country.. Sarawak my homeland. Im sarawakian, You shuolf learn sarawak langgauge. multicuture country. Great... Hope you met someone who can teach you more about sarawak there.
Hi Nick, thank you for promoting my home state Sarawak. Glad that you're loving your life there. I love your distinctive way of pronouncing "Sarhawak"😊 and kudos for your initiative to learn Iban dialect(my mother tongue). I've been residing in KL for a few decades now and has the opportunity to live and travel to some countries in Europe, Australia, NZ, Japan, HK and UAE among others but Sarawak remains very close to my heart, especially my humble little hometown Limbang on the other end of the state. To your viewers that has absolutely no (or very little) knowledge on Sarawak, Sarawak is almost as multi-racial as the UN. Modern yet authentic. The people are educated yet remain extremely humble. The culture is diverse yet respectful of each other, whereby religion is a connecting bridge instead of a dividing wall. Organic food sources is most abundant. Stalls and restaurants serve the most exclusive gastronomic delights. Simple yet exquisite local cuisines is sure to satisfy one's taste buds. A food connoisseur(and chef) the late Anthony Bourdain once regarded Sarawak Laksa as "Breakfast of the Gods". The rainforest is as close as one can get to the Amazon(shame on the logging industry tho'). Looking forward to more posting on life in Sarawak. You're a great ambassador. Keep up the amazing work! 👍👍
Hey! Thanks for watching the video and your kind comment! I'm happy my video found you. Cool to find out you're from Limbang - I only drove through there a few times on the way to Sabah. I would like to visit it again and find some cool hidden jungle around there.
@@GlobalGibbon It was a pleasure watching your videos. Just for curiousity sake, which part of the Netherlands are you from? I had the pleasure to stay in Amsterdam and discover some parts of the Netherlands for a period of 6 mths. I was most intriqued to know that there's a province called Limburg which sounds pretty similar to Limbang. Oftentimes i jokingly told my Dutch friends that i was from Limburg. The Bruis Festival in the city of Maastricht was a sight to behold. Beers flow of epic proportions, very much like our Gawai🤣. If i'm not mistaken, it is held during the first weekend of September(very soon). The King's Day(previously known as Queen's Day)is renowned for being one of the biggest and most colourful festivities. I hope to be able to visit the Netherlands again someday. Cheers!🍻
@@hazdyparadis2753 Hey Hazdy, my hometown in The Netherlands is called Lochem, it's in the province of Gelderland. It's about a 1.5hr drive east from Amsterdam. I miss the Netherlands very much, the last time I visited was more than 3 years ago. I can't wait to go back and see my family. I also used to live in Breda, when I was studying - in the southern province of Noord Brabant. The festivals in The Netherlands are so much fun!
Mooi verhaal Nick. Wat grappig dat je naar de NHTV naar school bent geweest. Ik woonde lange tijd in Breda (ouderlijk huis) op loopafstand van deze school. Hoop dat je snel jouw familie in Nederland weer kunt zien. Wij hopen binnenkort naar Maleisie 😍 te reizen om mijn familie weer te zien. Looking forward to your next video👍. Groetjes Marie-Elise
Hi Nick. Thank you for new video. Visiting Sarawak was on my list before covid-19 Pandemic. we will definitely visit Sarawak once interstate travel allows.🙏
Hi Nick, thanks for the wonderful video, and very informative too. I'm a Sarawakian from Kuching, but living in Brunei now. Welcome to Borneo! And i too love Sarawak Laksa or Kuching Laksa...Lol.
I'm proud to be sarawakian....next time go to my village bro at Minggu Ruan Undop Sri Aman...my first reaction and comment to your channel and video bro....thank again and happy living in Sarawak...Land Of Hornbills
Hi! New subscriber here 🤗 Love seeing your vlog in the Kuching city so much that I go to your old videos 😂 New vlog idea, why don't you go and vlog to all shopping malls and pasar malam (uptown) in Kuching? Make it two parts video. It will be a good videos! And it will cured a little bit my "rindu" in Kuching as I'm still recovering from my accident injuries (broken right leg bone to be exact) and always at home for 10 months now. I'm a "jalan-jalan lepak-lepak" type of guy who goes to the same places/shopping malls once or twice every weeks even though not buying anything 😂 (before accident tho) because I love Kuching city so much. Anyways, excited for you next upload bro 💪 Keep it up 💪
Hey Ahmad, Thanks for watching my videos. I hope my videos help you recover a little! I have various videos planned, like visiting Pasar Malams, unfortunately the Covid restrictions make it tough to film nice videos! But I promise I will make more videos about Sarawak and Kuching - Don't you worry!
very happy that you like our 'çountry' sarawak, Nick. myself is kelabit from - my father from Pa Tik, Bario & mother from Long Lellang, Ulu Baram next visit, you can go to Long Lellang for a visit. surely you will love it there.
@@GlobalGibbon woow!! thats great Nick. You are such a marvelous guy, always happy & smiling. My relatives in Long Lellang will be very happy to receive with open arms. Hope they will give you a kelabit name later.
I have only been to Sabah and Labuan island. I still want to visit Brunei someday. So definitely Sarawak will be on my list of places traveled. Sarawak must really be glorious. Your video deserves a big Like, because you are 1 handsome vlogger, and that is rare. You also have a nice voice. You sound European. You’d look better if you dont wear the cap backward or get a new cap. I cant tell where you are from. But without the cap, you look French. Too handsome to be Dutch. I’m done guessing.
Global Gibbon The cap, after a second video, it’s good. Apparently, you are from the Netherlands. No wonder, I thought you sounded Canadian with a hint of something. You make really nice videos. Mainly because you look nice and no doubt Sarawak is a paradise.
Thanks for much information on Sarawak. Living in West Malaysia, I didn't know most of what you said. You are doing a great job brother. If possible try to do one on the many races of Sarawak, their history in Sarawak & would also like to listen to their languages etc. Keep up your good work Nik. Good job. Thanks.
Yes! I have climbed many mountains in Malaysia but I have never had the chance to climb Mount Kinabalu. I did climb Mount Trusmadi in Sabah a few years ago - what an adventure!
Looking to move to Kuching soon ! This video has made me decided to move there for sure. Thanks bro. Looking to explore more of the wilderness there soon.
Nice video! Clearly explained reasons why Sarawak is a great place to live. I am moving to live there in a few months, and this video has made me super pumped for the impending move and life ahead of me!
If you enjoyed this video, raise your hand to show Nick your undying support 🙋✋🔥
Thank you!!!

@@GlobalGibbon you're welcome 🔥

I love living in sarawak too! Food and the local people's are amazingly friendly!
Sarawak is considered one of the cleanest cities in Malaysia and was once voted as one of the world's healthiest cities to live in.
That makes sense! I'm feeling happy and healthy! 😁😁

As Myself, I a honoured to read this comment! Thanks a lot! 😁😁😁
I would say that the tolerance & understanding of the people in Sabah & Sarawak is outstanding which is a reflection of the old Malaysia.
The mindset is great here, little tension and focussed on being together. One of the main reasons I love living here!
@@GlobalGibbon That was how the Malaysia was despite the racial & religious diversity, people were together.
@@RB-rp6ud let's hope we can all get together and move forward as a nation!
@@GlobalGibbon Hopefully coz now it’s more about race, religion & even the states, driven by politicians.
yeah, sarawak is actually the most diverse state in Malaysia with the most lowest racism case. some places in Malaysia should learn from sarawak tbh

Hi Nick, thanks for the wonderful video, and very informative too. I'm a Sarawakian from Kuching, but living in Brunei now. Welcome to Borneo! And i too love Sarawak Laksa or Kuching Laksa...Lol.
Hi! I love living in Kuching. I also like visiting Brunei, I went a few times for work. =D
Sarawak is indeed a peaceful and peaceful place to live.

Thanks for your support! =D
I'm proud to be sarawakian....next time go to my village bro at Minggu Ruan Undop Sri Aman...my first reaction and comment to your channel and video bro....thank again and happy living in Sarawak...Land Of Hornbills
Hi! New subscriber here 🤗 Love seeing your vlog in the Kuching city so much that I go to your old videos 😂 New vlog idea, why don't you go and vlog to all shopping malls and pasar malam (uptown) in Kuching? Make it two parts video. It will be a good videos! And it will cured a little bit my "rindu" in Kuching as I'm still recovering from my accident injuries (broken right leg bone to be exact) and always at home for 10 months now. I'm a "jalan-jalan lepak-lepak" type of guy who goes to the same places/shopping malls once or twice every weeks even though not buying anything 😂 (before accident tho) because I love Kuching city so much. Anyways, excited for you next upload bro 💪 Keep it up 💪
Hey Ahmad, Thanks for watching my videos. I hope my videos help you recover a little! I have various videos planned, like visiting Pasar Malams, unfortunately the Covid restrictions make it tough to film nice videos! But I promise I will make more videos about Sarawak and Kuching - Don't you worry!
love this vlog nick..thanks for sharing n promoting sarawak
Thanks! I love sharing my thoughts on Sarawak.
Sarawak has better drinking water than Europe, soft water ❤️
No floating white stuff after boiling the water 🔥
Fresh from the mountains!

There is so much to do, to discover and to see here in Sarawak! Let me know if you need any more info!

Happy to do so! Thanks for watching!
I have just subscribed your channel. Very lively and full of action. Interesting. Keep it up.
Thanks for subscribing Stephanie! I appreciate it!
Thank you for loving Sarawak 💙
It's just so beautiful here!
Patutlah ko tok bah. Duhal diam d S'wak. No wonder tempat rumah ktak ya mcm kenal jak. Blacan.... 😂
=D Thanks for watching the video! Sarawak is awesome!
I have only been to Sabah and Labuan island. I still want to visit Brunei someday. So definitely Sarawak will be on my list of places traveled. Sarawak must really be glorious. Your video deserves a big Like, because you are 1 handsome vlogger, and that is rare. You also have a nice voice. You sound European. You’d look better if you dont wear the cap backward or get a new cap. I cant tell where you are from. But without the cap, you look French. Too handsome to be Dutch. I’m done guessing.
Haha! Thanks for the comment. The reason why I always wear a cap is so I don't have to do my hair! Thanks for watching!
Global Gibbon The cap, after a second video, it’s good. Apparently, you are from the Netherlands. No wonder, I thought you sounded Canadian with a hint of something. You make really nice videos. Mainly because you look nice and no doubt Sarawak is a paradise.
Thanks for much information on Sarawak. Living in West Malaysia, I didn't know most of what you said. You are doing a great job brother. If possible try to do one on the many races of Sarawak, their history in Sarawak & would also like to listen to their languages etc. Keep up your good work Nik. Good job. Thanks.
Thanks Tony! I appreciate your comment. I'll be going into Sarawak more to meet with the natives and tell their stories soon!
welcome
Thanks! =D
The fact you pronounce that iban language so goood, tickles me 😁👍
Thanks for that comment! I used to live in Batang Ai for work, so I had to learn some Iban! 😁
Hello from Kuching, Sarawak! 😍 Thank you for this amazing video😍🌹
10 years a quite a time bro, you are half Malaysian already and your family is legit Malaysian.
Anak Baru Malaysia 😉
Thanks for loving my hometown.sarawak..
I love it here! Thanks for watching!
Have been to Kucing a few times but don't have enough time to explore,hopefully can do it in the future.
Thanks for this wonderful video n thanks for sharing your experience living in Sarawak.
Thanks for watching once again!
@@GlobalGibbon 😀
We love you always..come here my village kampung Darul Islam Belimbing...one and only Bidayuh Muslim in sarawak...near borneo highland Resort..
Oh nice! I can't wait to be able to travel again!
If you love Mountains and natures, Sabah is for you as well, the tallest mountain in Malaysia is in Sabah, Mount Kinabalu.
Yes! I have climbed many mountains in Malaysia but I have never had the chance to climb Mount Kinabalu. I did climb Mount Trusmadi in Sabah a few years ago - what an adventure!
This is a great report. Sarawak is on my radar for a retirement destination. The lack of a required bank deposit is a point in Sarawak's favour.
Hey Fred! I recently did a video about the S-MM2H requirements and details. Feel free to check it out on my channel! 😁
great contents bro...salute...keep it up!

That's awesome! I'm happy you liked my video!
Nice video! Clearly explained reasons why Sarawak is a great place to live. I am moving to live there in a few months, and this video has made me super pumped for the impending move and life ahead of me!
