Gd for u max. Daria, you r a story teller!
Max, can you ask her for recommendations for schools ? Thank you very much

She is very honest and accurate about Malaysia. I am glad an intelligent person like her chooses to stay in Malaysia.
you are right..instead of all those rohingyas syrians, banglas, tamils etc
an intelligent person??? my brain taking 1 minute to process hahahahahaha. You should spell it She was a smart person..
PR is the best ways for foreigners for me let's not make another singapore or australia... they can enjoy anything that malaysia have but let malaysia truly asian with a malaysian
Agree, she is being honest.
@@brabaius162 wtf
This is by far the most honest and positive review about Malaysia by an expat Ive ever heard. I love listening to something like this. Thank you for sharing!
Thanks for watching!
damn, its scary how accurate she is on describing malaysians
its normal to hear malaysian drives hundreds of kilometers just for a dish and went back home right after that, i did it, my friends also did it 😂
we are still doing it & will continue doing it!!! Jst for FOOD!😁😁😁😁😁
Daria is super intelligent. Love her. Russians are super intelligent and we love Russians.
if you re staying in KL yes, traffic jammed
Lol my brother sister in law one ask him to go genting for breakfast from puncak alam Kuala selangor, my brother kinda baffle cause she said she went the with her friend before.
I've took a 3 hours train ride to ipoh, a flight to Penang and Perlis just for food.
Really positive and fair opinion from Expats views... INDAH nya Malaysia ku... Subhanallah...
She interpret language,and interpret Malaysia very well. Even if she doesn't agree with something,she said in very well and not hurting others.
I'm from Sabah Malaysia. whatever she said is absolutely true and I love her honest opinion about Malaysia.
6:36 To add to what Daria says, Malaysia is host to more than 7 million foreign workers from about 15 countries - those from Indonesia, Bangladesh and India being the top three. That's a very high number of foreign workers - equivalent to 22% of the population and 45% of the workforce.
But for me lthink is more than the number lthink around 15 to 20 million foreigners in Malaysia because some of them they came here then lost but not lost actually theyre still here and dont want to go out from Malaysia .You know Malaysia is a gold mining here.
She’s fitting in nicely into Malaysia. Realistic and well balaced❤
she is more malaysian then most 20 years
It’s true what you said Malaysia is very comfortable and Good tO live in . I’m from Indonesia working here 16 years and feel comfortable and Like it because Malaysian and Indonesian food are the same because they are one Family. Thank you for sharing. Nice tO meet you ❤
Very impressive! Very knowledgeable on the region and travels extensively throughout the world. Daria has been living in Malaysia for 20 years. Accurate description of Malaysia. Better knowledge and experience on Malaysia than most Malaysians.
Haha
I like this Mrs Daria. How can I get interact with her.. just to know more her view about this country.. (well 20 yrs experience as expat), love to hear from her (bad or good , it's okay)
Mrs Daria seems to have a very high analytical and IQ level. She is spot on on all of her views. I totally agree with her that the moment you speak more than 1 languages, one will see life totally differently
@@blardymunggas6884 but she reminds me more of Anna Karenina... who Im sure was just as analytical.
Better knowledge and experience on Malaysia than most Malaysians - Owh pleaseeeee, locals know better...do not reflect ur limited knowledge abt Msia incase u are local to other locals....
We are not perfect, but the ability to coexist in one country peacefully and harmoniously, it matters a lot to us.. 🙏🙏
Well said..well said👏👏👏
But be very careful of the Green Wave,
It will destroy the country.
Well said!
I visited KL back in July. As a New Yorker, I immediately saw the similarity KL and NY shared: the diversity of people. The difference is its much more tone down and calm in KL, even during their New Year's eve, with tons of people out on the streets but the energy is much more relax. Really enjoyed my time there!
Excellent discourse with Daria. She's integrated over time, not fawning quickly head-over-heels with a new country. Balanced views are needed in today's quick-paced social media news and views.
Any expats that stay here for years, but honestly speak good and bad about Malaysia..they deserve our recognition..most foreigners not being here long enough just to say the truth..they said nice thing, but their eyes and smiling goes other direction...its OK, to criticise us..just take some time before doing it and do it politely..
Very wise women. The best honest commentary about Malaysia. She tells just as it is.
Thank you so much for this interview.She s such *open minded brilliant lady* .As Malaysian originated from Borneo Island (Sarawak) sumtimes *lost* my *ways* too with *so many diversities* in Malaysia.Our families have Indian, Arabs, Afican, Chinese, Eropean, Malays, Indonesian, Philiphines, New Zealanders, Autralians n so on.When come to festival seasons such as *Hari Raya* we have so many diversities of fruit cakes from Europeans till Asian version 🤪 _My dad loves fruit cakes_ 😅☺️ C..that how diversities we re 🤣.U cant imagine what kind of foods we have n reconstructed .But I am proud to be Malaysia tho 😇😊😉
What a messed up family.
Your networking game is strong to be able to come out with these content.
Thanks bro
KL indeed has the world class Malaysia Philharmonic Orchestra to perform very high standard classical music. They were brilliant before the covid pandemic and ticket price was affordable, unfortunately recently they tripled the ticket price and became more commercial.
haha tickets were cheap subsidised by our oil money
Yes we do have them. But compared to other cities, the theatre or in America they call it Broadway scene is very small. Theatre actors can't make a living in Malaysia, because the market is so small and theatre really isn't that big of a deal here.
@@leealex24KL got Istana Budaya
Iam aiming to move to Kaula Lumpur from the UK this year with my wife and kids. I honestly cannot wait to move.
Daria is definitely brilliant! So much wisdoms and attractive charisma from her speech and experiences. Very impressed on how interpreter can stretched out to even being a surgeon & helicopter pilots interpreter up to the point of she can confidently claims that she might fly one. Plus, to know both sides of the speakers' cultural appropriation, differences, and even literature (Confucius, poets, etc), that is very difficult! Ultimately, it takes a flexible and understanding person to be this open and viewing world in various perspectives.
My family also diverse my father can speak Mandarin , Arabic and Malay while me Arabic, English and Malay and still learning mandarin
To KNOW Malaysia is to LOVE Malaysia...
Definitely the best interview so far about Malaysia, if someone were to ask about Malaysia, this is one of the video to be recommended to watch. Thank you!
🙏
Love her brutal honesty! Everything she says is unbelievely true...Thanks ...love this channel
Watching this video makes me appreciate my country more.. Suddenly feeling super patriotic
Russians are exceptionally blunt, sharp and intelligent! I like!
Thanks for sharing this wonderful video n for showing your interview with Daria, she's such a lovely person with a pleasant character. It's very interesting to hear what she has to say.
Daria, as u mentioned in d description, been in KL, Malaysia for 20 years. I'm sure, but cannot assume, that she's been or like d philharmonic orchestra musical performances at d Petronas philharmonic concert hall, d only one in KL n Malaysia. It's located in d podium underneath d Petronas Twin Towers.
Good honest perspective from Daria.
🙏
Tun M is really good speaker, what he has spoken through out his life are on point and esy to understand..
When she say bout cook.. i got one idea.. and i never see this content anywhere from any youtubers… i would like to watch one day.. like any foreigner to who are stay in malaysia to cook one malaysian dishes.. but my preference is nasi lemak.. i think that would be soooo cool and fascinate to see any of them cook our national dishes.. coz any malaysian any race can cook and even sell nasi lemak not just malay.. ive seen even chinese malaysian sell nasi lemak with pork coz its our national dishes.. it would be epic to see our ‘guest’ from other country to cook it.. just imagine russian cook our nasi lemak.. omg EPIC! ❤❤❤
U may check out a Japanese TH-camr name: @ichang she cooks nasi lemak while she is in Hong Kong and invites the Malaysian who stay in Hong Kong to have lunch for Hari Raya
Very interesting & informative discourse, great job guys
This is a great content.. thanks for sharing 👍👏👏👏
Great interview, she knows a lot about Malaysia, thanks for revealing the truth! Cheers and great video!
Fascinating interview. Thank you, Max and team.
I like her telling speech at all..smooth and clear ,polite..thanks for this video

I love listening to her talk. She is so eloquent
Thank you Darria...thank you so much

Very knowleadgable & highly intelligent person i might say and she humbly resides in one of the best country in the world. May not be the very best but worth the stay though. Cheers
There’s a four season also in malaysia, hot season, very hot season, wet season, very wet season
Very casual and frank view of KL & Malaysia 👍🏼👍🏼
She truly know her way in Malaysia. Diving here is one of the best. Tanggol is my favourite besides Sipadan.
Tqvm for the infor, looks like it takes a foreigner to open a Malaysians' eyes on its beauty.
Thank you for this video👍🏻
Malaysia has many unique things to offer.
New subscriber here.. Really love the way she described Malaysia.. Thank god i found your channel.. Really nice to hear an honest view of Malaysia..
Thanks for subbing!
This video are high quality. Hard to skip.
🙏
she is what is call easy on the eyes.. Admin should have her standing up..side view alone is just not cut it.
She spoke very well. Thank you for the frank views. 👍👍
On the subject of food, a lot of Malaysians have this mental imprinting from young that the best or most original foods are from where they originated from or grew up. Hence whenever they return to their hometowns, they will make a pilgrimage to their favorite food stalls and restaurants just to eat their favorite foods. Since Malaysian recipes and cooking styles are very diverse, the same food prepared by one restaurant could have its own distinctive taste and flavor, which other restaurants are unable to replicate. So this is why Malaysians will usually have their favorite nasi kandar, char kuey teow, asam laksa etc stall. You are correct in saying that distance will not discourage the average Malaysians from traveling across town or state just to get a bite of their favorite food.
Dashaaa! You are great!
Thanks for watching 😊
The more you underrate Msia the more you love Msia
very informative conversation..
and good vdio content..
keep up the good content and good vdio footage..
👍👍👍👍👍 to you..
nice & high quality information
Our slogan used to be called 'Msia truly Asia'. I hope it is still now 😂
Hope you both won't get anymore homesick anymore 😂 And I must point out that it's a very wise and open minded/broad explaination from the beautiful lady
Wtf is M'sia? Spell it in full. MALAYSIA.
I subscribed because of this video.. she is superbly precise in describing Malaysia & Malaysians. Good job Max
@masih mudakurang faham??
@masih muda mende ni??? Jalan2 cari pasal ke apa?
Very nice interview.
thanks for the info and realy proud as malaysian...
Great interview ..
Malaysia is probably one of the few polyglot haven in the world
it's spelt heaven sir
@@brabaius162 it's haven hahahaha, please
Haven it's sporse to be like "haven't" ..oww
Well you need to travel more then.
@@brabaius162 its the spelling, haven.
You must learn our cultures... It is beautiful
Its the 1st time that i forced myself to finish watching this channel in the middle of the night! She knows Malaysia very well and very honest also. Thumbs up!
I hope you enjoyed:)
Close your eyes, just focus on her voice. OMG! I could hear her accent just like us as Malaysians. 😅😅😅
4 yr info that's how russians speak englishmy friend.
@@brabaius162 Anya Kopp, a russian american model didn't sound like that to me.
@@MyAljufri I really can't say. The only Russian I know is Putin on Saturday Night Life.😁
Not really
@@atrixsauza2068 right..she says she is not russian. married to an Indian..I guess that is why Hadi bastan find it familiar...she has indian accent.
I very honest review of Malaysia, hopefully one day we will be able to settle down in this beautiful country!
I love Malaysia 🇲🇾🇲🇾🇲🇾 TQ brother n sister.
Wow. You spend 20 years here. Thank you for appreciating it
As someone working in sustainability, i was dismayed to know that since 2016, the Amazon is a net carbon emitter. Intergovernmental organisations are working hard to stop deforestration in Malaysia and indonesia right now to try stop climate change. I hope Malaysians will fight for their forests to keep them intact.
Amazing the humble roti canai is the second best street foods in the world..
Hope Malaysia stay humble, friendly despite being underrated.. ofc it's a safe and peace place on earth to live in 👍🇲🇾❤️
Thank You Sir.. Welcome to Malaysia..
I wouldn't describe Malaysia as a developing country. Malaysia is a new developed country, the GDP per capita (PPP) is about 37k and at its growing at a super healthy pace, it will probably match and surpass many European developed countries during before 2030.
I speak 7 languages. English, Malay, Hokkien, Mandarin, Hakka, Cantonese, Teochew, and Indonesian. Some Japanese 40 - 50 % fluency.
I think dialects aren't considered as a language. That's a reach just to make out the quantity.
damn. did u do classes by any chance? 😂
Indonesia National Language, Singapore National Language, Brunei National Language.....
Very good video. Great woman
Thank for your positive comments and love, we still far more to improve. ❤
wowwww 20 years in malaysia!!!!
I am glad she very honest with her words and all of the words is truth about Malaysia. I agree with her very much. I think she can be Malaysia ambassador, promote Malaysia coz she very understanding about Malaysia very well.
very nice and easy country to stay, with the same like in singapore well even more but cheaper than them, very beatiful islands and lanscapes everywhere and very friendly people
What she said must spreadly all over the world
Absolutely true about Malaysia and Singapore
Tq bro👍
She tell mostly true , event I'm from Malaysia didn't notice it. Anyway enjoy your staying here in Malaysia, semoga sukses selalu 👍
Love Daria accent. Urs too Max.
After seeing what's happening in the USA in the past couple of years, all the craziness is beyond comprehension. I understand the restriction and difficulty of becoming PR in Malaysia.
Thanks for share
This is not content cari follower. It honest opinion.
*Welcome to Malaysia Truly Asia Good foods Enjoyed Thanks for Very good videos*
🇲🇾❤️💓💖💕💝💗😍😍💗💝💕💖💓❤️🇲🇾
I like her honest. 👍
Cultural entertainment in Malaysia most of them in Borneo part, if you say less, it means only in peninsular part.
However, keep exploring Malaysia ! Please comeback to Borneo Malaysia. You will see the differents.
Thanks for the video.
Good to hear from the perspective of an Expat.
hey Max, a suggestion.... i think a slightly more in depth color on the backgrounds of your interviewees will gve us a beter of understanding thru what lens they r looking at the countries they eventually settle in
wow 20 years!
I know Dasha, she's an amazing person and usually very objective unless you ask her personal opinion about something. It's always a pleasure to hear what she's saying, even though most things are well-known to you as well :)
Thank you 😊❤
@@DaryaKirienko very objective unless you ask her personal opinion..really don't understand this.....how many amazing russian women interpreters are there in kl? I thinks it's lost in translation😁
Well a blunt answer would be proper for russian because they're always like that. The lack of empathy sugarcoated.
@@brabaius162 Guess this is a comment for me, not for Dasha. Ok, let me explain what I mean with some examples: Objective - DiCaprio is a very good actor. Personal opinion - he's cool, but can't say I will watch every movie he has starred in, not a fan. Objective - Malaysian cuisine is vibrant and diverse. Personal opinion: I love some Malaysian food, but must admit, for me most of the dishes are too fatty or too spicy.
@@apuspeak8764 that was rude. Due to the fact, neither I nor Dasha are Russians.
Her English is very good...simple and understandable
Borneo island - Kalimantan in Indonesia and Sabah and Sarawak in Malaysia.
the lighting didnt do justice to her beautiful eyes
Hi Max. I love KL too. 😊🇸🇬
tipu la😃
Madam, your profession is very interesting. I wish my younger son would take up interest in foreign languages n interpreting. If he can, be polyglot. You're right, Malaysians know at least 2 Languages, mother tongue language + Malay (if not the mother tongue lingo) + English. He now also reads Arabic & Japanese. Thus, if he can speak Malay, English, Arabic, n Japanese, that would be amazing.
She's not only honest & intelligent but beautiful
