Please keep those little ones safe, I saw sound of freedom the movie and it just made me want to tell all parents to never let them out of your sight. ❤ On a lighter note, I love this kind of video, great job!
Oh my goodness - this was such a walk down memory lane! We lived in Malaysia from 2018-2021. I loved seeing this! What a wonderful life experience that I'm happy you and your family get to enjoy 💕
My best friend is from Malaysia.. very nice to see how your lifestyle is there. I homeschool my kids as well.. we are much farther along in our journey. Those sweet kinder years are so precious! Beautiful fam you have.. thanks for sharing!
@@TheConscientiousEater at. least I've learn something in how you treat your kids and different with almost malaysian culture now.. many kids spending the time with gadget.. 😔
Thanks so much for watching! It was good to film and force myself to look closely at the think I see and take for granted everyday. It is a beautiful country!
I enjoy seeing life in Malaysia. I live in Papua New Guinea and while the climate and flora are similar, infrastructure and development are so different! Water, electricity, phone, and internet are not reliable here. Access to healthcare is difficult.
That’s one thing that drew us to malaysia…cheap and beautiful like many places in Asia, but also modern and developed. The health care is great here. We definitely feel blessed!
Yes flora and fauna or mega diversity is similar to Papua. In fact both are within the 17 countries designated as mega diverse. But malaysia does not have many species which are endemic unlike galapagos island.
What's the school system like in Malaysia? Do you and your children speak Malay? Hope you all feel better soon! That was interesting to see. I think it'd be too hot for me to live there!
There are lots of options for schools here, either local or international. Most expats would have their kids go to an international school, but they’re pricy! And sadly I barely speak any Malay. I had just learned Chinese and felt burnt out with learning languages. You can get around easily here with just English, but Malay is really easy for English speakers to learn. My husband learned it quickly. He’s rusty now, but can still use it when needed.
I really enjoyed seeing more of your daily life outside of the kitchen, and seeing more of KL and what you can get up to there. Would definitely love more videos like these!
I lived in Perlis for a few years. I really miss Malaysia. I'm back in Guangzhou, China. I'm happy to see some of the foods I knew vegan-ified. It was easier to get Chinese and Tamal vegan options, but the traditional Malay foods, wow!!! Thanks for sharing.
So cool we've lived in the same countries. We love China and Malaysia for some many reasons. And there are quite a few plant-based Malaysian foods now which is so nice!
Great vlog, Faith! For the record, I don't even have to run in order to sweat like that in a humid environment. Just a simple walk to the curb and I'm drenched 🤣😂
i would loooove to see more vlogs like these! i had such a good time and i absolutely loved seeing a bit more of kuala lumpur, wow what a beautiful city! i would love to see a bit more of the nature and surroundings, it looks stunning
KL is ranked #1 to live in Asia according to Japanese based survey, I forgot the index. It is great you bought a car, you will enjoy the freedom and driving in among the best roads in Asia. You can always take the MRT, LRT too. Are you on MM2H?
I understand why KL was chosen! We think it’s a hidden gem! And yes, we can take the train and bus, but driving is always faster so we usually opt for that. And we were going to apply for MM2H but are on a new digital nomad visa
@@TheConscientiousEater Usually, for long term, will go for MM2H. Digital Nomad is usually for short term only, and you need to renew every 6 months I believe.
@@leealex24 Yes, we hope to switch to MM2H if they change the requirements. The nomad visa is for 1 year and you can renew for a year so well do that for now!
I'm sorry that your family have been under the weather. I hope your lovely little ones are feeling better. I don't envy you the tropical weather, hot and sweaty is not my favourite way to be, though we finally have "t-shirt weather" in London at 24°C. x
I feel like the kids are non-stop sick, but thankfully my son is a lot better than the day I filmed this video. And I really miss cooler weather and changing seasons. We hope to one day live somewhere in Europe!
I enjoyed your video! Hopefully by the time you are able to read this your children will be well! Wow, and they are getting to big! I was wondering, if your comfortable to say, what took you to Malaysia to live? I would love to see more video of a day in the life. I enjoy all your videos. Hope your husband is healing well. ❤
Thanks for watching! And I’m happy to share: my husband and I love Asia and living overseas. SE Asia is really inexpensive and KL is really modern, English friendly, and easy to travel in and out of. ☺️👍🏼
Please show more vegan Malay food! Some of my childhood was in Malaysia and I truly enjoyed seeing how you are living in Malaysia, as compared to what I remember from my childhood.
Thanks for sharing a day in the life, Faith. Where you live looks so modern with the high rises and freeways. I grew up on Guam so I know how hot it can be.
It’s so modern and such an easy place to live. Very different from the small town in China we used to live in. Both are fun! And I too still look forward to one day living where it’s not so hot all year round ☺️
@@cyndij8312 My husband and I met and lived in Florida for years, so I know what that's like too! I guess you're getting lots of practice living in hot and humid climates :)
@TheConscientiousEater I live in Melbourne. It's on the central east coast of Florida. Same county as Kennedy Space Center. Did you grow up in Florida? I was just rereading the "why plant biased" page in your cookbook and I see that you mentioned your first date with your now husband was surfing in Cocoa Beach! So you know right where Melbourne is. So cool that surfing was your first date and you were right up the road.
@@cyndij8312 Yes I know Melbourne! I lived in Orlando for about 4 years after college and that's where my husband and I met. We loved it and I guess it prepared us for the weather here in Malaysia :)
Thank you for your videos! I'm curious- how did you wind up in KL and what does your husband do? Was he always happy to eat vegan too? Do you live in a tall apartment building? I've been to KL one time, and loved it! There were so many warnings about crime, but I felt safe walking around the city. People were very friendly and helpful. One of my favorite trips ever. (Loved that cool aquarium in town!)
You’re welcome! And we ended up here after visiting friends and realizing how fun/easy to live/affordable it is here. We miss the seasons, but love everything else. My husband and I work online so we’re very flexible on where we can live. And my husband has always been super supportive of me eating plant based! He can’t cook at all so happily eats whatever I make him. Our apartment building is 25 stories high but we’re in the 1st level after 5 parking levels. I don’t like living really high so it’s great for us!
He’s doing better! And we used to live in China but wanted to move somewhere else once we started having kids. We visited some friends here and loved it! People speak English, it’s modern, rent is cheap, food is delicious and it’s easy to travel in and out of ☺️
Hello fellow homeschooler. Are you guys homeschooling base in Malaysia or base in the states? We are homeschool in the states and would love to live in SE Asia while homeschooling. Thanks.
Advantages : 1. it is already a sauna outside, so there is no need to do sauna in a health club. 2. Plenty of vitamin D (sunlight), so we do not look pale. Those with light skin colour may need higher SPF index lotion
Hey sister nice to meet you are you living Kuala Lumpur so weather in Malaysia so very hot and stay in home drink more water the children so cute me from melaka 👍🥰
I really miss the seasons some day! We wanted an easy place in Asia to live and malaysia is that! People speak English, rent is cheap, but the houses are nice and it’s easy to travel in and out of. Plus we had some friends already living here!
We didn't take them this time, but health care is super cheap here. For example, my daughter sprained her ankle the other week. We took her to the ER and she got an x-ray and some medicine for the pain. It was less than $50 for everything!
Yeah it is hot and humid between April to September. After that it is monsoon rainy period which is cooler. I used to live in manitoba Canada during my college days. I almost died too -37 c during winter. In Malaysia it is normal to be above 30 c Degrees.
I loved this video a lot! It’s really cool, as somebody who has yet to see much of the world outside of a few states in the US, to see what life is like in other countries around the world.
Hi! So, we first lived in China but wanted to go somewhere else when we started having kids. Malaysia is such an easy place to live. Most people speak English. It’s modern and well developed. It’s easy to travel in and out of. And we had some friends already living here! Yes! There are some amazing beaches here. We’re slowly trying to see more of them ☺️ Average rent is probably $750-$1000. The cheaper rent is for a larger house farther out of the city. The higher rent would be for a condo in a better location in the city with amenities ☺️
@@TheConscientiousEater So awesome ! The rent is a plus, compared to California lol. Would love to see a beach day sometime. Hope the hubby and kids are feeling better!

Welcome to Malaysia!
Thank you!
I really enjoyed this style video. ❤
I'm so glad!
Love DITL videos! I hope your hubby is ok!
Thanks for watching! And I guess he’s not exactly okay, but I’ll share more later ☺️

As far as I know, Malaysia is the top medical tourism country. 2nd is France, third Thailand.

Sorry Faith. I didn't understand a point: isn't Malaysia right hand drive? Isn't it also in Usa?
No. Our steering is right hand. Usa, China, Canada is on the left (the steering)
I probably didn't say it clearly! In the US people drive on the right side of the road (with the steering wheel on the left). Its the opposite here!
I really enjoyed seeing more of your daily life outside of the kitchen, and seeing more of KL and what you can get up to there. Would definitely love more videos like these!

Hello fellow homeschooler. Are you guys homeschooling base in Malaysia or base in the states? We are homeschool in the states and would love to live in SE Asia while homeschooling. Thanks.
We love full time in Malaysia, but we register our kids in the states depending on our states homeschooling rules. You can homeschool wherever!
Advantages :
1. it is already a sauna outside, so there is no need to do sauna in a health club.
2. Plenty of vitamin D (sunlight), so we do not look pale. Those with light skin colour may need higher SPF index lotion
So true! It's good to dwell upon the things that we love and appreciate about Malaysia :)
Hey sister nice to meet you are you living Kuala Lumpur so weather in Malaysia so very hot and stay in home drink more water the children so cute me from melaka 👍🥰
Hello! Thanks for watching and saying hi!
I loved watching this. How did you choose Malaysia to live in? I’m a snow girl, so I would probably die! 🤣
I really miss the seasons some day! We wanted an easy place in Asia to live and malaysia is that! People speak English, rent is cheap, but the houses are nice and it’s easy to travel in and out of. Plus we had some friends already living here!
New viewer here! Did you take your kids to see the doctor? If you already have done that, how much does that visit cost you?
We didn't take them this time, but health care is super cheap here. For example, my daughter sprained her ankle the other week. We took her to the ER and she got an x-ray and some medicine for the pain. It was less than $50 for everything!

Maybe i need to learn how to homeschool kids
We love it!
Hope you are all on the mend - Malaysia is a beautiful country.
Getting there…we’ll some of us! Thanks for watching!
Nice perspective on your family life.
Thank you!
How long did it take you to get some what adjusted to the heat?
Still not sure I’m adjusted haha! But I do fine that the 70s feels chilly now 😂
Yeah it is hot and humid between April to September. After that it is monsoon rainy period which is cooler. I used to live in manitoba Canada during my college days. I almost died too -37 c during winter. In Malaysia it is normal to be above 30 c Degrees.

Questions!!
Why Malaysia?
Are there nice beaches there that you go to?
What is the median rent there in American dollars?
