Transcripts
foreign [Music]
if you're thinking about visiting this underrated concert in Southeast
Asia you're in the right spot we spend 30 days traveling throughout this amazing concert and in
this video we're going to share everything you need to know before you visit mileage
[Music]
there are no special Visa or entry requirements for houses a us or Venezuelan passport holder as a
Venezuela was allowed to stay 30 days if you have a us or EU passport you're allowed to stay up to
90 days just know that you do need proof of onward travel which means a ticket out of the country
within the time frame they did ask for that ticket when we were leaving the US so remember that
[Music] we'll talk about are what type of plugs are used in Malaysia and they use the same ones
that are used in the UK so not the same as the U.S or Western Europe so we travel with
a universal adapter and it has been a lifesaver and this is the one that we've been using since
we started traveling when it comes to SIM cards and used in your phone we have a data plan with
T-Mobile and it gave us free data throughout our entire State and it was pretty decent right yeah
but we did buy a SIM card once and we paid about four dollars U.S for unlimited data for one week
exactly one week and the reason we use that is because we went live for the first time
on YouTube and we wanted a stronger connection with our GoPro and our phone so we had to have
a data plan yeah and they do sell these SIM cards everywhere and they are pretty affordable when it
comes to using the internet here in Malaysia the Wi-Fi speeds have been great and that has
been true for peninsula Malaysia and also in Borneo the only place that wasn't very good was
in mabul the tiny remote Little Island there was basically no Wi-Fi on that island that's
pretty normal so we had no issues uploading videos and also no issues face timing with our families
this is a question that we get in every single country that we visit and we are happy to report
that no you do not get overcharged as a tourist here in Malaysia and that was the best because we
went to a million night markets and a bunch of other places that didn't have prices displayed
and no one seemed to have an interest in overcharging US everyone seems super
honest and always gave us fair prices so that is always a great feeling as
a tourist yeah exactly but there are some I guess attractions where there are Malaysian
local and Foreigner prices but it's always very transparent so it's not like a hustle it's just
like Legends pay one thing and another thing which is a great practice in our opinion and
it's always yeah clear and yeah that was very nice very honest people in Malaysia
the reason why this is a relevant question and we wanted to include it in the video is because
Malaysia is a Muslim country so about 60 of the population here in Malaysia is Muslim so they
are conservative they dress super conservatively there are no rules that tell you what to wear and
honestly no one seemed to care I'm usually not careful with like covering my shoulders
because it's like really hot here but I was super careful with the length of mascara than
I wear a lot of pants so just keep that in mind yeah and also if you visit religious
sites you will be required to cover up and that's true for men and women so like when
you go into a mosque the men will get robes and sometimes a little hat yeah you definitely yeah
I had to cover my hair but this is also like a common practice in a lot of other countries
and last but not least we're going to talk about covid so nearly three years after the start of
the pandemic we're still talking about coven the good news is to enter Malaysia there are no Kobe
requirements you don't have to show a negative Kobe test nor do you have to show proof of
vaccination but when you're in the country there is still a common use of something like perhaps
that people wear masks like it is required for public transportation like grab required yeah but
it's all really enforced so bring your mask just in case you need it because yeah a lot of people
wear it it just really it seems like it depends on you yeah but I think in grabs it is very common
to use it especially in Peninsula Malaysia in Borneo it seems a little bit more relaxed yeah
it's time for a quick little Malaysia 101 so in terms of geography there are two parts to
Malaysia and this is something that I actually didn't know before coming here
before researching Malaysia there's Peninsular Malaysia and that's the Malaysia that I guess
most people are familiar with that's where Kuala Lumpur is and some of the other major cities and
Singapore's at the bottom Thailand's at the top but then there's also Malaysian Borneo and that
is an island that Malaysia shares with Indonesia and Brunei so Malaysia has the top third more or
less and it's very beautiful and that's where you have orangutans we spent 30 days traveling
throughout Malaysia 15 days in Peninsula or Malaysia and 15 days in Malaysian Bordeaux
and we wanted to make this travel series as diverse as possible so that's why we went to
a couple of big cities we went to the beautiful lost jungle we explore amazing beaches and we're
gonna tell you exactly what we did and I'm gonna grab the laptop so we don't leave anything out
so we started our journey with 10 days in the capital city of Kuala Lumpur and we decided to
stay 10 days because we thought we were going to be super jetlagged But the irony is is that
we weren't jet-lagged at all after our 50 hour travel Day from the US but anyway this was the
perfect introduction to Malaysia we ate so much good food had a ton of fun rode a roller coaster
indoors it's really a fantastic City then we rode in style on a business class train from
Kuala Lumpur to Penang where we spent five days in beautiful Georgetown this is Malaysia's second
biggest city and we think it is a must visit it is super cool with all the street art and also very
different Cuisines and a huge Chinese influence there's Chinese Shop houses and Buddhist temples
and the vibe there is just very interesting they also have a great cocktail bar reason enough to go
there from Georgetown we flew to Kota Kinabalu also known as KK which is the capital city of
the state of Sabah located in Malaysian Borneo and we had a great time in KK we went to some
of the nearby Islands put our snorkels on saw the tropical waters we also took a day trip to Mount
Kinabalu and kinablu Park which is absolutely beautiful and it was the first time that I ever
drove on the left-hand side of the road which was kind of terrifying but we survived from Kota
Kinabalu we hopped on an eight-hour bus ride to the famous San the gun and this is one of the most
beautiful jungley spots in all of Malaysia we saw so many orangutans it was so special monkeys we
went on Jungle walks in the canopies during the day and night we saw glow-in-the-dark scorpions
tarantulas I got to pet a frog it was a great experience and our last stop was the tiny little
island of mabul and it was absolute Paradise this place is very special for snorkelers and divers
and we had so much fun going underwater the marine life is beautiful we saw so many people many
turtles it didn't go exactly how we envisioned or planned our visit yeah but in a way it was the
perfect ending and we made videos about our entire Journey so I'm gonna put the travel series here
so you guys can check it out anything that you're interested in like we made videos about basically
everything also on unfortunately we missed a lot of great places as we mentioned earlier we wanted
to make the travel series as diverse as possible so obviously we couldn't go to all the major
cities all the major beach towns and islands all the nature areas however we have shared most of
our Malaysia videos already and locals have been so nice that recommending places that basically
we want to come back to on our second trip to Malaysia exactly so these places are so Malacca
I think is a very popular historic town that we missed out on also Genting Highlands so that's
I think pretty close close to KL and it's kind of like a Las Vegas scene going on the Cameron
Highlands with the tea plantations also the islands of Langkawi I believe it's called Costa
Penang and also the state of Sarawak in Borneo where you can go into the jungle and hang out with
like the former Headhunters tons of cool spots yes we have a lot to see when we come back 30
days in Malaysia was not enough and we can't wait to come back and explore all these places things
we really like to pick up a few words in every country that we visit we think it's
a sign of respect to locals to at least show the effort to try to learn a few words in
their language and not assume that everyone is going to speak English however Malaysia
is one of those countries where English is a default second language so we weren't forced
to learn that many words but we did learn a few and we want to share them with you hello
Salam or hello and even assalamu alaikum is also a fairly common greeting okay
thank you darimakasi chicken ayam beef tagging but this one's a little bit different I think
dagging and lembu is technically beef dogging is just kind of like red meat but sometimes
it's also generically used as beef so not chicken or fish basically yes or pork Tiga
yes yes yeah no
that's your Malaysian
now please
no thank you I think all of these words travel tips and basically everything that we're talking
about in this video are going to be linked in a PDF in the description that you put your
email you'll get a cute one-page printable PDF that you can bring with you to Malaysia
the currency in Malaysia is the Ringgit and when we visited in March 2023 one
dollar equaled 4.5 Ringgits it's also a very stable currency so you
don't have to worry about a lot of Foreign Exchange fluctuations during your vacation
credit cards are widely accepted even for smaller transactions but just try to stick
with Visa or Mastercard American Express is usually not a great option unless you're just
going to a bigger establishment smaller places like this won't accept Annex and
when it comes to tipping you'll be relieved to know that tipping is uncommon in Malaysia
so you won't be expected to give a tip at restaurants for taxi drivers or in general
for most services like the haircut I got although I did give my guy a tip and you
look very surprised but you did a great job that said at some more formal restaurants you
might see them add 10 never more to the bill so there is sometimes tip included but in
general the only people that you would tip in Malaysia Are tour guides and also Hotel staff
thank you
when you do need cash it's easy to find ATMs around Malaysia also the withdrawal limits are
typically pretty high but we did get notified of withdrawal fees and transaction fees when
withdrawing cash from the different ATMs here so we definitely recommend getting
this Charles Schwab International debit card which reimburses you for the international fees
so if you can't get it we recommend it if you are new around here let us quickly introduce
ourselves my name is imara and I'm Gordon and we are ways of the world we're a slow
traveling couple and we love to take our time exploring countries so we can get to know the
people the culture the food everything and we love to share our adventures with you so
far we have done six travel series the first one was in Turkey then we went to
Mexico then Albania Romania Portugal and now we are in beautiful Malaysia so make sure to
subscribe to follow the rest of our adventures because we have an amazing 2023 plan and sorry
for the sweaty intro we're in Borneo we're in Borneo so we're in the jungle oh we're sweaty
thankfully we say this after each travel series but if our experience Malaysia is a
very safe place to visit locals did warn us about back snatchers and pickpockets
but we never heard about experience so all in all Malaysia is super super safe
now we're going to talk about how much we spent during our 30 days here in Malaysia
and we're going to cover accommodation food activities and transportation
I have the file here for airbnbs we averaged 39 a night which is our lowest average ever
so we were very happy about that and we also stayed in really nice and comfortable places
with a working space some of them had gyms pools kitchens kitchens very spacious very nice always
very clean ironically the more rustic one that we stated was the most expensive and that one
was 73 dollars and it was in mabul but I mean we were in Paradise a very remote start yeah
but other than that like your money goes a long way right yeah so I think this place right now
is 22 dollars in the middle of chaos yes yeah and it's very nice for food we're comparing grocery
stores versus restaurants and we quickly realized that eating at home healthy meals was going to be
more expensive than eating street food so believe it or not you probably won't believe it 90 of our
meals are home-cooked meals at home very clean very very healthy so this is how much we spent
um in each I guess during the 30 days so in grocery stores we spent 348 dollars and on
restaurants which includes alcohol but we didn't drink more than once a week it was 389 dollars
so this makes an average of 12 dollars a day per person which I think it's really good but it can
be a lot cheaper if you're only here on vacation please just enjoy all the street food because it's
so cheap it's so delicious we're gonna cover food later in the video but and one thing to add they
also have wet markets where you can buy fruits and vegetables and meats and it's a lot cheaper
yeah Supermarket but we just don't have time to shop at a wet Market frankly yeah but if you do
want to cook for yourself and you have time to go to a wet Market yeah save a lot more money
for transportation this is how much we spent so we took two buses only in Borneo and one cost
ten dollars and the other one was nine dollars these are prices per person for trains we only
took the train once from kl to Penang and we paid forty dollars per person but that was business
class the regular ticket is twenty dollars so you don't have to spend 40 even though it was worth it
and it was awesome we flew once and we paid 131 dollars per person and that included our luggage
fees but this can be a lot cheaper if you're only traveling with a small backpack there's a
lot of cheap flights connecting different parts of Malaysia grep which is like uber has been our main
form of transportation because it's affordable it's faster it's very convenient so we have taken
37 rides and the average has been three dollars which again the train and public transportation
in the bigger city especially it's a lot cheaper but we're always running Against Time and three
dollars is not bad for an average yes we get some more expensive trips and for car rentals we only
rented a car once and it was 37 a day and we spend nine dollars in gas yeah so gas is subsidized here
in Malaysia Malaysia so it's very important prices for activities in Malaysia are very reasonable and
super cheap if you compare them to the US so a lot of the religious sites are free but for reference
I'm going to give you a few of the things that we paid for we paid it entrance to a mosque once and
it was two dollars Park entrances range from five dollars to eleven dollars we took an island boat
ride in Kota Kinabalu and it was twenty dollars per person uh an amusement park where you did
the roller coaster was 17 in total we spent 353 dollars in activities but half of this amount
is eight Dives four per person each dive was like twenty two dollars otherwise that amount
very affordable diving yes so the activities are very reasonable yeah the only other thing I can
think of is that in sandagan they have a lot of jungle tours and it was cheaper to book in
sandagan than it is online so just wait take your time okay book there it's more affordable [Music]
Malaysian food is so amazing that it's reason enough to visit this country and there's so many
awesome influences to the cuisine here so you have local Malay Chinese Indian all adding their spices
and flavor to the dishes here but in general you can think of a lot of spiced and spicy slash nutty
curries mixed with coconut rice also a lot of dry noodle dishes and also their iconic soups
getting around Malaysia by bus is the most common and also generally the cheapest way
to get from place to place we only took two buses both in Malaysia and Borneo and they
weren't the luxury bus experience that you can get from Kuala Lumpur to Georgetown but it did
the job we used the site easybook.com to buy our bus tickets in advance and we can recommend them
also one more important thing to note is that it is good to buy your bus tickets in
advance especially if you're traveling around public holidays because tickets do sell out
so getting around Malaysia by train is a great option depending on your route so let me explain
south of Kuala Lumpur on Peninsula Malaysia the train lines kind of split into a v so as long as
you're going up the coast on either side of the peninsula you're probably in okay shape as long
as you're going to the major cities but you can't really crisscross across the peninsula
for that you're gonna have to take the bus also in Malaysian Borneo there's only one
passenger train line in the state of Sabah and it goes from Kota Kinabalu the general area to
somewhere more in the center of the island so not very useful for tourists but anyway we'll
put more details on the different train routes in the PDF that you can find in the description
there are a good amount of airports in Malaysia that make it super easy to move around the country
by plane and if you visit in both Peninsula or Malaysia as well as Malaysian Borneo you will
have no choice but to hop on a flight just keep in mind that you might have a layover in KL depending
on your route flights between popular places like KL and Georgetown are incredibly cheap but also
please consider looking into options by train or bus because they're more environmentally friendly
we only rented a car once during our 30 days in Malaysia and we had a pretty good experience so
this beauty behind me cost us only about 30 dollars per day an automatic car great
experience all around and also it's good to note that the petrol here in Malaysia is
subsidized so gasoline or petrol only costs about two dollars per gallon also very nice
to know that the driving in Malaysia is not super aggressive like no one honks on their
horn no one's like riding your butt too much just be very aware of motorcycles on
each side because that's a little bit new and also what was new to me and actually
a very first time was that they drive on the left side of the road this was a first
also the cars are a bit small any ones we can't afford the ones we can afford time to go
you found that the easiest way to get around the cities in Malaysia is by
using grab which is basically the Malaysia's version of uber the rides were also pretty
affordable between 1.50 and seven dollars to get around the city and also to some places
on the outskirts of certain cities just a heads up though in Kuala Lumpur sometimes
the pickup times would take up to 20 minutes and also here in Georgetown they canceled
a bunch of times to take us to the airport because the fares were too low so plan ahead
so every time we make one of these everything you need to know travel guides we always like
to include things that we didn't like about a particular country because no country is
perfect but honestly we have to Rack our brains pretty hard to figure out things we didn't like
about Malaysia but one of them is the trash problem particularly in the waterways the
river systems and beaches and this is a little bit more evident in Borneo yeah and obviously
this is a multi-layered issue that doesn't have an easy kind of solution like there's education
infrastructure the tides from different countries a ton of things but that's one thing we noticed
uh and the second thing is that there's also a lot of deforestation in Malaysia so there's the
palm oil industry which is taken over and they've taken over it's again a little bit more evident
in Borneo but you can also see it around KL and Justin yeah Malaysia yeah and that's very sad
because they're killing a lot of like habitat that orangutans live in and monkeys and a lot
of local species so yeah so those are the two things that didn't like about Malaysia [Music]
well the time has come and we have to leave Malaysia we want to thank everyone that we met
