I'm currently visiting KL for the first time from NYC, and loving it here.
Nice!
Did you just go there from NYC? What area are you staying in?
@@tam1010 I Went to Philippines for 2 weeks then KL, stayed in KL Sentral area, now back in PH
Kuala Lumpur is Awesome!!! One of my favorite cities!!! 🇲🇾🇲🇾🇲🇾 Nice video!!!
Thanks bro! I love you videos!
Thanks 🙏
Thanks bro..
You are always welcome to fascinating Malaysia 🇲🇾😊✌️
Kuala Lumpur today is far more urban than Singapore. Lived in both cities for a total of 10 years and like most westerners, we prefer to work in Singapore and live in KL. Better housing and quality condos in KL compared to Singapore!
Hmmm.. Urban in what matter?
Housing is definitely cheaper in KL, right
@@MaxChernov Condominium quality is one of the highest
I will choose Johor Bahru if I work at Singapore
@@MaxChernov well u have more choices in KL or even Johor in term of housing than compared to here Sg. Coming from a Singaporean
Nah,urbanisation rate lower than sg.still have kampong areas in kl
No matter where you go, you will always find something special about it. If you look at it with an open mind, you will appreciate it more. Your initial impression of Malaysia is fantastic, but you must get to know the country better before you can fall in love with it. Malaysia has a lot of attractions outside of KL. Take your time and visit more of our country. Thank you for sharing this informative video on KL City.
That’s what I’ve heard about Malaysia from other foreigners. It takes time to know, understand and fall in love with the country.
As for myself, I’ve been to many places in Malaysia, but will do more!
@@MaxChernov - Similar to an arranged marriage, falling in love with your new partner would take some time compared to your old sweetheart whom you once adored. As you get to know your new companion better, love may steadily grow between you as long as you don't constantly contrast the two. 😜
KL is my favourite city then Bangkok 2nd and Singapore 3rd - Cities in South East Asia are just amazing
For me Singapore >>> Bangkok > KL
@@TheRazerlg It is a matter of preference
Singapore >>> KL >>> Bangkok
@@misha_360 In your opinion, of course
Those are my top 3 :)
Hi Max, if you have extra time.. please do visit Kampung Baru.. the place used to be Heaven of Food at my time ages ago.. you should try the food there
Next time I will! Cheers
Great video! We also enjoyed KL a lot! Especially our food tour in Chinatown and going up the Petronas Towers :)
Chinatown is so vibrant there!
Thanks for showing the beauty of Malaysia. There are so many more great places to visit here. Hope you have a great time here
the infamous KLCC park! 😍 I literally went there once and didn't want to go home. It feels nice to walk around in a giant park
Thanks for sharing this wonderful video n for showing your explorations in KL., Malaysia.
I lived in 2001 in KL and worked there 6 month. It was like a dream coming from Germany.
Ever thought of going back?
@@MaxChernov Sadly I was only able to visit Malaysia twice in the last 22 years. In 2004 and in 2018. KL changed a lot. I remember going to Salsa Parties, or sitting outside Beach Club (totally different in 2001 by the way). Visiting friends at their Condos. Chilling at the Pool. I was 27 back then. Best time of my live. Although I was pretty broke and had no income it was possible to have fun. And guess what…I have already booked a flight for this year. Soon I see my beloved KL again…Unfortunately I lost contact to most of my old friends. But you’re not lonely for long time in Asia. That’s what I love about it.
Germany? Remembered it like yesterday. I was a young man from Malaysia 30 years ago. I never could get over the fact that Germans love their cakes, cookies and pastries. What we in Malaysia consider high tea/ 'dessert' to be eaten after 4 pm is happily served before lunch time! Still, you can't beat the fantastic food variety in Malaysia! 😉
You should try Malaysian multi racial food from Malays, Chinese, Indians and others from different states as it is superbly delicious 😋
Merdeka towers is taken from the imege of Tengku Abdul Rahman Putra when he raised his right hand, when he chanted merdeka on the first day merdeka. From that merdeka towers got it's name and image.
Interesting!
Welcome to the best city in the world,truly Asia and foodie capital of the universe!Indulge!
Ultimate patriot 😁👍
@@MaxChernov am actually born New Yorker,have travelled the world over and now make Malaysia my home!😉
Haha
Wow that’s cool ♥️
MALAYSIA..the best country ever.... Everything can find in MALAYSIA....
Yes,Including corrupted PM
no it's not the best country
Anwar was an ex convict.
@@peterlee6148 it's not the issue
@@wannawan8431 yes of course it is.corrupted and convicts running the country
After watching this, I went out to pack Mee Goreng for dinner, good job Max !
Haha 💪
Malaysia has more character. More places to visit compare to Singapore. Btw i'm a singaporean😊🇸🇬
Of course lah.... MY is way bigger than Singapore. I am a Singaporean
@@limbehh8494 but no matter what . I still love singapore.
@@syarifahnajwa5491 yes..... like and love. Way to go. 😎
@@syarifahnajwa5491 agree
@@limbehh8494 can't afford to buy car in spore but transport is convenient here. 24hrs supermarket juz walking distance.
im addicted to both SG and KL, both are so awesome and so different.
Me too!
Awesome video, Max!
Glad you enjoyed it
I would LOVE to spend time there! I remember at the start of my career in teaching, I was offered a job in Jakarta, not Malaysia I know, but nearby, but I chose Italy instead, with the intention of gaining some experience before moving on to Greece, Taiwan and then Malaysia. I ended up staying in Italy, haha. I sometimes kick myself at the thought that I missed that initial opportunity but I hope there will be some chance for me to live in or at least visit Malaysia in the future. It looks like the most perfect place on Earth. ❤
You should definitely come!!
@@MaxChernov Well, after watching your video, I am even more convinced that I will end up in Malaysia eventually! 🙂I already know Malay and Mandarin very well so I think I'd fit in fine, haha. 😁
@@tzatzikiv812 If you know Malay and Mandarin then it's a no brainer - come settle down here at your earliest convenience. Your (hopefully) saved up nest egg in euros will go a long way in Malaysia. But do remember not to the burn the bridges behind you though - this country's policies can be finnicky; it's not a given that your stay here wouldn't run into troubles.
Selamat Datang ke Malaysia 🇲🇾
Uraaaaa... 💪🏻
Damn man your video is lit ❤️❤️ I loved it ☺️😍
🙏
Max.that's top travelvlog~have a good one, :))
Already subscribed and liked brother. You're doing a great job. Keep it up!
🤙🙏 thanks brother
Malaysia always been under-rated.. but has almost everything..it's the centre the heart of the south east Asia.. rich in cultural and multi racial .. "clean" and beautiful country..
To know Malaysia is to love Malaysia 👍🇲🇾😎✌️
But, Malaysia is dominant Muslim population
@@human-wd8pg Malaysia is a free country..the official religion is Islam.. the majority of 60% Malay population are Muslims..(then plus non Malay Muslims made it a strong Muslim country)..
i would like it to stay that way, under rated. i want people to come and see on their own. its one of Malaysia's charm (◠‿・)-☆
@@decTac yes the chinese are second class citizens even though they contribute more to economy.
@@peterlee6148 you must read the history of British who brought the Chinese to Peninsula Malaysia to work in tin mining and so the Lord Cobbold's constituon laws after Merdeka..
Now there are Chinese schools, Chinese temples, Chinese can retain their Chinese names, chinese free to do education and business and working with government and public sectors, many Chinese richmen and tycoons, even the Top 10 among the richest are the Chinese, there are Chinese ministers and chief minister, many Chinatowns, Chinese New Year celebration and public holidays ...ermm whatelse that Chinese lacked and want more..🤦🥴🤣😅
KL offers similar standard of living as in Singapore at a fraction of the price. US$2000 per month is more than enough to live comfortably in KL
Maybe next time try to explore other states such as kelantan, terengganu, perlis to see the difference u can feel the vibe of kampung area soo peaceful and calm.
I like your style, very cool n calm... have a memorable moment in 🇲🇾.
In Malaysia you have the option to spend money the rich way or on a budget. The choice is yours
True! Pretty much similar in Singapore also
@@MaxChernov How much does it now cost to stay somewhere in Singapore, like a hotel, apartment, or rental home?
@@MaxChernov don't compare to singapore owner currency far more lower than singapore
She spend much money..
1:46, there’s a HUGE inaccessible spire on top of Burj Khalifa that is merely there for architectural purposes. The only reason why people criticize Merdeka’s spire and not Burj Khalifa’s is because of the way the later’s spire smoothly tapers off which in a way is also “cheating” because Merdeka 118 is definitely thicker and bulkier overall from ground until roof level.
wow that’s my favorite Citizen M Hotel！
I stayed at its Taipei chapter for 10 days in 2019.
Oh nice! I didn’t know it’s a chain
@@MaxChernov CitizenM (branded citizenM) is a Netherlands-based, global hotel developer, investor, and hotel chain. It opened its first hotel at Amsterdam Schiphol Airport in 2008, followed by the city of Amsterdam in 2009. Its first overseas hotel in Glasgow opened in 2010, followed by London in 2012.
@@MaxChernov one more funny thing, u can keep the hotel tag for your next visit in any citizenM hotels in the world， and when u checking in and on the TV, it will direct u to your last viewed movie or drama in the previous CitizenM hotel, and with that tag they will keep all your preferences or special requests database.
Wow 😮
Beautiful video darling 😊
Your quality of video is very clear and colourful.
You walked far to reach every spot in KL.
It will exhaust your energy and
your eyes bags are serious.
Your trip to KL need homework.
Kuala Lumpur have many beautiful spot.
You can visit Penang / Langkawai Island/ Sabah seacoast in the future.
Malaysia have beautiful Islands and beaches 😆
You should come again next time at Subang Jaya, Selangor, Malaysia. Is much different environment. Best place to visit is Sunway Pyramid, Taipan USJ 10, AZ One Cafe (USJ 7) and around SS15. Trust me, you lovin' so much about this experiences.
Nice! Thanks so much
Try to visit ICC Pudu, the authentic hawker food ctr in KL. It opens from 5.30am onwards and closed at 2pm. Try to go early and avoid weekends.
Nice! Thanks
Welcome to KL , Malaysia.👍👍👍
Awesome video
ohhh I love bukit bintang❤❤❤
Metro KL or Greater KL or Klang Valley have 15 mil pop encompassing KL and Selangor states. Metro system abt 300km lenght covering all over Klang Valley
Huge!
Just let you know, most parks, art galleries, museums, memorials and monuments in KL are free and worth visiting.... Even some with admission fees also will not cost you much...
Nice! Which museums and galleries would you recommend?
Telekom museum is free to visit,full of communication device artiifact at there, National Musuem need to pay,however not expansive,same to military museum,no need to pay
@@MaxChernov the Islamic Museum at the Lake Gardens is fantastic. There is an entrance fee though, but that whole area where the museum is is worth exploring. Take a ride on the hop-on hop-off buses - I think it's one of their stops
@@MaxChernov A lot. National Museum, Textile Museum, Islamic Art Museum, Craft Museum in KL Craft Complex, P Ramlee Memorial, Galeria Sri Perdana, Tunku Abdul Rahman Putra Memorial, Tun Abdul Razak Memorial, The Royal Museum... dont forget to check out the National Monument and National Palace too.
@@MaxChernov For art galleries, I recommend you to visit the Ilham Gallery & National Art Gallery
Amazing
Botanical garden behind national Meseum foc bro.
Nice video/editing
🙏
Welcome to Malaysia
To be honest Malaysia is getting more foreign travellers compare to the last 10 years.
There's a limit to the height of the telecommunications tower allowed to be part of measuring the height of the building.
Interesting
Done subscribe and welcome to Malaysia 🇲🇾💖
New subscriber here. I love your content
Welcome aboard!
Was expecting street burger. Or Ramly Burger. Or roadside stall burger. I'm surprised, none featured here. Also, it's only available in the evening onwards. In most places.
If need directions, better ask malaysian, don't ask the guard which most of them are foreigner.
I am in kuala Lumpur i never see you before in 2 weeks ago
Welcome to KL
🙏
I've been to Kuala Lumpur in 2017 and it does feel like New York city there. I'm from New York so i felt right at home there. Is it cheaper to get an apartment there? And what's the system?
Muuuuuch cheaper 😁
between 700$--1k$ u can get condo 3r2br 900sqf 5-10km radius within surrounding area.
@@MaxChernov As in around $200 per month ? Can you help me to find a cheap apartment there outside of city center?
@@whybotherha1021 Can you help me to find a cheap apartment in Kuala lumpur outside of city center?
@@MaxChernov boring in singapore
You should go to Putrajaya😊
welcome
Mamak mee goreng rm15-30?! The average price is RM7. Anyway hope you enjoy Malaysia!
👍👍
The spires on top of Merdeka 188 represent Tunku Abdul Rahman's raised his hand during the 'Merdeka' shouting. You should learn more about Malaysian history.
Sorry, it should be 'Merdeka 118'
Where would you live - Singapore or Kuala Lumpur?
singapore and visit KL when i can.
haha..stay in Johor baru but go KL and Singapore when free
KL.The reason both massive and.great city but relatively cheaper in term.of cost.of.living.
KL - the food is better, and the prices of everything are lower.
I would rather live in the village
Singapore is very small, you cannot even do a road trip there LOL..If you want to get to know Malaysia you must explore more a little bit, don't just stay in center KL, try exploring the surrounding like Selangor, so many to see. I recommend you visit Putrajaya if you love building and architecture, very beautiful especially at night
You can do a road trip living in Singapore! Just need to cross the border at Woodlands 😁
@@MaxChernov exactly, road trip to Malaysia!😁 that's what most Singaporean do every weekend
Welcome to KL Max… how’s your trip so far?
Amazing! Back in Singapore already :)
Thaipusam is celebrated annually during the full moon in the Tamil month of Thai in January or February and takes place on February 5 this year. It's a time to ask Lord Murugan, the son of Lord Shiva, for good health, prosperity, and forgiveness in the new year. Make your way to the Batu Caves on that day.
Much way more cheaper in Malaysia. 5 star service , food, accommodation, variety. Nasi or rice it self we have nasi goreng, nasi lemak, nasi ayam, nasi tomato, nasi mamak, briayani, nasi kerabu, nasi dagang, nasi campur, nasi daging, nasi hujan panas etc...that only rice and long list of noodles.. Malaysia is heaven of foods
Super Thanks and we need and wish 8K Photos or videos in Real Best 8K 60fps or 120fps HDR10+ resolution clarity quality and Sound in full HD 3D Stereo Surround , Soon Please.
Is Malaysia business friendly to foreigners who want to open business.
Do come to Malaysia again
Definitely!
Right now I'm in Bangladesh.
Yo Max, next time you heading up to KL ,go through seletar airport instead of Changi Airport. Firefly airline. Its cheaper and faster. 😊
WHAT?? Wow! I had no idea its possible! thanks so much!
@@MaxChernov yeap! It lands at Subang airport instead of KLIA. Subang airport nearer to the city centre and there a train station beside it . Train ticket cost RM 3.50 instead of the ridiculous RM50 KLIA express train to city centre.
@@jajalshadow cool!!
Honestly, I'm so looking forward to the bullet train project (SG-KL), which keeps postponing :(
@@MaxChernov for context, I stayed at woodlands. I left home at 9am, took the fligh to KL from Seletar at 9.45am, land at subang 1030am, took grab to hotel beside KLCC, check in and in the room by 11am. And I'm not kidding. Literally grab - fly - grab.
@@muhammadfairuzsamsi7209 wow! so fast!
So big buildings
I subscribed 😅
💪
@@MaxChernov Hi max, I'm working on a collaborative project between Belfast and Penang... will keep you posted... I am also starting my second season of interviews on my own channel Talkfunding... wife is from Taiping, so we want to relocate back home soon... Alan
Wow, you lived in SG long enough you've became Kiasu too. Happens to everyone, who moves there, very petty.
I’ve been kiasu already haha
Thanks max, I am Lee from Malaysia. Actually Malaysia is still a developing country. As i saw alot of mainland China citizens comment Kuala Lumpur as a dirty, not well developed, poor traffic even worst then grade 4 cities in mainland China. As compared to all those comments, i am glad and shown my appreciation for your kind words and visit, enjoy your trip in Kuala Lumpur. Malaysia still got alot of things to learn from the rest of the world.
i'm malaysian too have been in china for a years , going to new city and old city, yeah i can say all new city is clean but the problem is no people there, make this new building feel empty and most chinese situated in village, the most surprised me is a lots of chinese skin color just like malay very brown one
Well if China were that developed and modernise i bet not many PRCs will venture out of China to find work and even relicate and give up their citizenship for sure and even than there are still many PRCs who are stuck with their bad habits in their home country like spitting and doing their business in public areas
@@grunpycat5237 I have visited China rural n urban area. Yes, they skin n face look like Malay.
Well, to get a balanced view. Ask from those Chinese whom have migrated to Malaysia. My personal opinion of KL vs high tier cities in China; is that KL possesses a soul from our diversity. KL's strength is actually from our diversity.
You probably read 3-4 comments then you just assumed many china citizens critizing Kuala Lumpur haha!
Mat Salleh jalan jalan Malaysia
Malaysia food is definitely better than the ones in Singapore 😁
We are just bigger, and more diverse than Singapore. (we are even arguably, more diverse than Thai, culturally, geographically & cuisine wise).
With RM 500 u can live in 5 star hotel with awesome klcc view .. in Singapore with the same amount of money u live in budget hotel 😭
I am from Kuala Lumpur. It is a nice city but the problem is walkability/accessibility by pedestrian, much less the disabled or parents with strollers. Until we have that sorted out I really don't think it could come near to comparison with Singapore and New York.
Yes... can't compare KL against Singapore. KL is a city but KL is vibrant. Understand from Malaysian friends... KL can be expensive like Singapore. Penang is great and so do Ipoh too. Slow n relax. Greeting from Singapore 🇸🇬
NY you get robbed and beaten on the street. Come on now. NY can't compare with KL regarding anything.
Just subscribe your channel to support your team. Welcome to KL
🙏
You didn't go to Jalan Petaling? We Singaporeans go KL will most likely go there for food.
oh no:( I went to Jalan Alor instead
Chinatown aka Petaling Street
Oh there I’ve been
@@MaxChernov yes its in your video.
As a local KL and Malaysian Chinese, Chinatown is more of a tourist attraction these days. You hardly find any Chinese that actually lives in Chinatown.
Hi... u mean Chinatown in KL is boring ? Kindly advise ya.
@@limbehh8494 I think he meant not, otherwise it won`t be an attraction.
не поймите меня неправильно, мне нравится ваша продукция, просто хочу перейти к следующему шагу
Off coz, kuala Lumpur/ Malaysia better than Singapore, KL is a modern city, We have beaches, mountain, Islands and more diversity...
Singapore has all of it too! Just need to cross the border at Woodlands 😁
Ya... KL is better than Singapore.... modern city. I see...
haha lov those red ants 😂
I hate them 😂
Need more rain?😂 my oh my be careful what u wish, rain here is like a month when it comes it season😂😂😂
Haha yeh I know! Same in Singapore
1.45...then you must know why do they do it on purpose 😄..the antenna is like 1st msia prime minister the late Tunku Abd Rahman's hand when he raise his hand while he chanting independence at stadium merdeka next to PNB118..btw welcome to msia 😃
edit: lucu tgk msian and sngporean dlm komen gaduh mcm budak² 😆biasa la adik abg after all we still need each other
New York is the best
SG more clean, high currency, more structure, good education, safer, good governing, multicultural, bla bla bla But....malaysia food still the best 😋! 😄!
Hahaha
@@MaxChernov we knew! He is our that brother... that is the most Brightest, Smartest and Richest. And we will try look out for each other in SEA.
Also must try our nasi briyani (Indian meal) and nasi kerabu (malay meal)!
Max you look more alive in Singapore than in KL. 😊
yes just subscribed to your channel. enjoy Kl!
Kuala Lumpur is way better than New York. They both have rats (I've seen them in KL), but not rats the size of cats on subway trains, and crackheads peeing everywhere like the supposed richest city on earth.
Haha we need a rats comparison rating!
No bro 😅 the new york asia is Jakarta indonesia 😂
this city established inside the valley..that is why the weather is unpredictable..
Kl better than
spore
Spore has no soul
u feel so much introverted russian.
u should inspire from harry jaggard, to incorporate some YT social trends in ur products.
would add some more human-feel dimensions in ur works.
вырази себя, маленький владивостокец.
попроси небо, ты получишь звезды
KUALA. LUMPUR ------- JUNCTION RIVER MUD
Kuala Lumpur they have larger spaces, just imagine if Singapore have large space go without saying Go Singapore 👍👍🇸🇬
dont compare Malaysia with other country. Malaysia is Malaysia. Welcome to Malaysia
Hard. When I go to New York and Europe, I compare these 2 places too.
Why not?:)
@@MaxChernov some country cannot accept the comparison....
@@MaxChernov Yes. Some citizens get extremely triggered when you start comparing them. Especially the tension between SG and MY.
@@MaxChernov Please don't compare Malaysia, we don't like to be compared to other countries.. Many big channel youtube enjoy in malaysia....?
Having the tallest building is bad fortune.
Yeh, Dubai is screwed
not sure what culture or religion u are referring too but it is also one of the bad things in Islam. tall buildings is a sign of near judgement day😬
