❌13 STARTLING Things Not To Do In ASIA : bit.ly/2G5Hodv
Miss Malaysia! Had a hired Proton for 3 months and drove all over Malaysia. Nice video guys; so cheap compared to Thailand.
We do as well! Thank you so much!
We have less of the thing about charging foreigner, a much, much higher price, than Thailand.
You inspired us with your Bali video, so we went. We're now planning on doing 12 months 12 countries and your vids are totally inspiring us!
Thank you so much! We hope you have a great trip!
Malay words and phrases that you should know when you are visiting Malaysia (Traveler's guide)
1. Terima Kasih=Thanks
2. Sama-sama=You are Welcome
3. Salam Sejahtera=Hi/Hello
4. Saya mahu pesan ~= I want to order (your food)
5. Milo Ais- Iced Milo (Malaysian favourite drink)
6. Maafkan saya- (Excuse me/I'm sorry)
7. Apa khabar- How are you
8. Khabar baik-I'm fine
9. Di manakah ~ - Where is (place you want to go)?
And one more thing.. If you are using Google translate from English to Malay.. The translation of 'I' sometimes it is translated as 'Aku'.. 'aku' is used for basic conversation like to your friend or someone you know close. But for general use, it's better to use 'saya' (also means I) because it's more polite❤️
If any Malaysians here want to add some more important Malay words or phrases especially for traveler.. Just add in the comment❤️
Thank you so much!
I have a friend that lives in Malaysia and she wants me to go there to visit her. After watching your videos here I am thinking it will be a good place to visit so on the bucket list it goes. The food looks good and seems to be very cheap. Too bad Tah does not get more excited when trying food and drinks haha. Enjoy your stay there and look forward to more videos
Thank you so much!
I am loving Malaysia. Great vid guys. 👍👍🍺🍺
Thank you so much:)
OMG, the medical bill in Malaysia is ONLY $9.26 consultation+medicine???? Many Americans feel like to cry when they watch this video.
hahahha
For Malaysian citizen, the cost for a consultation + medicine in goverment hospitals is just RM1 (USD 0.25) 😅
@@TheAkuzul989 Unfortunately the RM1 treatment is ONLY for Malaysians. Foreigners cannot enjoy this welfare.
I'm the penangnite...glad that u guys our small humble city and hope to see u guys again in Penang..Penang always welcome u guys and thanks for promoting this exciting and humble city
Thank you so much!
Thxs for putting prices. Should do that on all videos
In most cases we do :)
once again, great job editing this. Always enjoy your comments. Tah, get well quick!
Thank you so much!
You really must go to Teluk Bahang and try Roti Jala eaten with curry. It's so so big in size and it's super delicious. Location - Belimbing Cafe Teluk Bahang. It's available for breakfast n brunch. A traditional malay food it's hard not to like it.
Love your style guys ,just came back from Thailand (underwelmed) after my 20th trip ...need to branch out , Malaysia, Singapore, Philippines etc....thanks for your energy and Jimmy you're a lucky guy (your lady is a 11 out of 10 👌🙏
Thank you so much! I agree shes a keeper! - Jimmy

Thank you so much! Have a great trip!
Great video, now im headed to Malaysia !

I really enjoy the vids you two put out. Y'all are everywhere and always a treat much better than Durian Ice Cream! 🍦
We love that ice cream is so good! hahaha
Yes our country is so underrated in many sense 😉 glad that you enjoyed! Can never say no to the oh so good kopitiam ice coffee!! 😁

Would love to see a video of you guys talking about bad experiences while traveling or nightmares , thank you love u guys
Thats a good idea haha
Welcome to Penang!
Hope you enjoy here, especially the food!
The food OMG so so good!
So impressed by your travel vlog on my hometown Penang. Made me homesick and just want to hop on a plane now to go home...... Thanks for showcasing my lovely hometown. You mentioned something about sim card and facebook online. May I know what is it and what brand or name of that service? Is there a website I can go get more info?
It will be interesting if you can rate EAST malaysia cost of living too. Can be either Kuching or KK
Coming soon to a screen near you :)
@Fariston woops my bad lol *edited*
@joco2k well thats interesting.. p/s: i haven't delete any message
For your info, Malaysia was ranked first in the Best Healthcare in the World category of the 2019 International Living Annual Global Retirement Index. It only cost us RM1 for a normal checkup + pills & RM5 for a specialist checkup + pills.. 😆😆😆
Welcome back
Thank you so much!
11:12 Durian Ice-cream OK, soya milk “NAH AH!”... LOL
You guys are welcome to live here... in Malaysia😄😍
Thank you so much!
Definitely on the list! Load me up and ship me out! Thanks y'all!
hahahahha Worth the trip for sure!
The only thing you didn’t mention was visa. Any input?
I am always blown away by the photography and editing of your videos. They are always so professional. I just love your sunsets and sunrises.
Out of interest how many mangoes did you get for 3kg. Here in Australia it about $3 a mango? Love this vlog. Keep up.the great work
Thank you so much! Unfortunately i dont remember the exact amount :(
@@DivertLiving your welcome. Thsts ok i was only wondering thats all.x
Omg I love anything is durian😋
So do we!
Great😊enjoy ur guys vids so much. Get well soon,Tah.
Thank you so much!
Yup! I'm convinced! I will definitely be visiting Malaysia! Sooo, bummer.. I'm gonna start trying my hand at videos. I was going to wait until I got to Phillipines but coronavirus now has me stuck. Don't feel bad...Im 'stuck' in Key West! Keep posting videos please! I'm living vicariously through y'all right now until this travel crap is lifted(Jimmy, as a deterrence, they are not accepting med patient transfers to the Manila VA office. That's why I'm waiting.) Boy.... I sure do dig that divert living logo. I sure do wish they had ball caps or those polyester fishing shirts!!! I'd buy a couple in a heartbeat!
Ahhh yea sorry we dont offer them at the moment however, if you check our store we have a new 2020 line that is way better than the last line! Its Higher quality clothes and prints with an Egyptian cotton blend and free world wide shipping! Seriously the best merchandise we could find anywhere, not just saying that! divertliving.com/shop/
Corona Virus has stuck you!? Like you have it!? We hope you're ok! To be honest I don't think i would use the VA unless i REALLY had to. the wait is always so long and its so cheap to get most things done that the time sometimes isn't worth it
Yeah man, I was wondering about regular insurance and I saw your older video. I get what the VA are doing. Basically the email I got was that Manila office wouldn't have the resources to handle an outbreak, so they are asking us to not transfer our records to PH and they are backburnering the ones that do. I can't complain though.....even the chance of getting stuck in a quarantine gives me anxiety!!!! LOL, Im Sure you can understand! But I did use our GIBill to get my PADI Pro licences so you guys will have to come dive with me if we cross trails!
I’m not fond of Soya Milk, though I use Coconut Milk on cereals like its going out of fashion. Very good and low WeightWatchers SmartPoints as we’re on a diet. Great vlog as always. Keep up the great work.
Thank you so much! Don't worry i am not a fan as well!
Really enjoy your videos. You guys Rock!
Glad you enjoyed it, thank you:)
I’m going to work as an Intern in Kuala Lumpur for 3 months. Thank you for this video. Quick question; I am from the netherlands and I am going there with a lot of dutch friends. We are all around 195cm, will this cause any problems?
No i dont think so :) Hope you have a great trip!
At 11:16, he was like "uh..uh" negative, nay nay.. Yes, soy milk are not for us. It's created for the ladies. It actually contains plant derived estrogens
You have to go to Viva local foods Kopitiam in Tanjung Bungah and try the Asam Laksa below Kek lok Si
Ahhh we love the laksa!
Hope to see you divert living, love your blog... 😘😘😘
Thank you so much!
Enjoy, it’s so affordable, thanks for the information, Ne Safe, Belus
Thank you so much!
I've been going to Penang regularly for the last 20+ years. Prices have gone up quite a bit, especially recently. I think Thailand is cheaper than Penang, especially for things like beer.
GREAT JOB (AGAIN)!
Thank you so much!

Thank you so much!
Hope both of you had a great time in Penang! Btw, I'm from Penang :D

Do bring your own shopping bag...they charge 20 cts per plastic bag
We do normally just bring a backpack
It seems most places are cheaper travel than the United States. Now to work up the courage to leave.
Ahh some are yes!
Penang is a top place for retirement while KL is top place for working
Its a great place to be!
Will be there soon ❤️❤️
Hope you have a great trip!

Affordable City to Retire and Expatriate in Malaysia.
1. Georgetown, Penang
2. Kuala Lumpur, Federal Territory
3. Ipoh, Perak
4. Kuching, Sarawak
5. Kota Kinabalu, Sabah
6. Malacca City, Malacca
7. Kuala Terengganu, Terengganu

In my personal opinion, major all above the best food capitol in Malaysia. 😋🤗🍛🍜🍧🥘🍗☕🍮🍦🌮🍔

Please visit Taiping, Perak, Malaysia
We want to!
Thanks again for a wonderful vlog, the you do it make you feel that you there(I wish). I have a question about your backpack in this vlog and what brand is the clip you hang your camera on it looks very nice to use! Thanks again and God bless you.Greetz from Holland.
Thank you so much! All our gear including bag and clip are here :) Hope this helps! divertliving.com/resources/our-gear/
14 seconds after upload, yes, uh!
hahahha Thank you!!
Cutest couple on TH-cam
🙈🙈🧡
You don't miss going to gym even when you are on travel, hahha
No we still go to the gym when we travel haha
I will be there tomorrow..
Have a great trip!
Rm15 challenge for food a day pls hehe
hahah that would be a great idea!
RM15 if per person totally no problem especially in January 2020 because u can get 50% discounts by using FOOTPANDA with this code huatdeal. The minimum spend is RM20 and maximum discount is also RM20. Now they are two people, RM30 for 3 meals just nice.
Other than TH-cam, what do you guys do for income? Where / who do you work for to fund these trips?
We have our own blog and production company as well :)
Welcome to malaysia bro!!!!!!
That was Jacob? Great
Yeah that was him:)
Could you pls tell me the name or brand of the 8G sim card service you mentioned in your video? does it include talk and text as well? does it has an expire date i.e only work for 10 days etc?
divertliving.com/malaysia-tourist-sim-card/
pasar malam (night market), they have everything :)
Have fun
Thank you so much!
Some people love durians some hate them, but pls do not spit out food
11:11 That reaction was very funny. Just like a baby tasting something weird.
hahahahahhaa
Nice place..
Thats what we think :)
nice video
Thank you so much!
welcom and come again to mlysia ok😉
You look like Hong Kong movie star Daniel Wu.😀
hahahaha i love that actor
IS THERE A KOPITIAM LIKE PLACE IN KUALA LUMPUR? THANKS
I believe there is :)
I'm Penangite ,eat every food must spicy 🤣🤣🤣
I watch the camera man eat durian ice cream. He really don’t know how to taste it. The reaction is suck. If I m going ur place, I also dislike some of ur local food, but I won’t direct give this kind of reaction. It is rude. But both of u are awesome
Y’all are cute.
Thank you so much!
happy couples
Very happy
Grab car and My car are two different platform
They are very helpful!
How many days do u tend to stay in Penang?? ✌🏻
We were there for 30 days
Malaysia has the best street food in the world, as well as the health care, in terms of cost vs value
It is good :)
As gluten-free person, I always wonder what could I eat there, or would it be difficult? No wheat for me.
So many choice for gluten free food...
The main wheat based items in Malaysian food would be yellow (egg) noodles and dumpling / spring roll wrappers in both Malay and Chinese cuisine. Most noodle dishes use rice flour noodles or mung bean starch - these are white or translucent so you can clearly tell them apart from the yellow noodles. The main thing to avoid is Chinese vegetarian "mock meats" which pure gluten!
Eugene Yeow thank you !
Sejak bila harga plastik 0.30 sen?
Kuching sarawak please..
RM600 a month to rent a bike is quite costly I guess
Thats what we thought
Double that amount you might bought used motorbike with such a good condition.
Once you done with it, still can sell it about same price too
I like your site, but why dress up the old content as new?
After the trip, we always try to make informative content to make it more like practical travel guide not just a travel vlog:)
It cool@ penang....
but next time when you go back to Thailand NO PLASTIC BAG.....
Penang is soooooo overrated, full with chinese migrant and not authentic Malaysian experience, the real authentic Malaysian experience is to go to our beautiful beaches, kampung2 (village) with traditional architecture, and the BEST MALAY FOOD IN ASIA!
Intan payung i love pork
10:31 .. Is that Jacob laukaitis??😂
Yes is it :)
@@DivertLiving yeahh i knew it .
