    It’s great your channel start to pick up in Malaysia but please don’t take advantage of the people’s kindness. Malaysians are known to be kind and give something out of sincerity. However, i need to put this out as i’ve seen many westerners only tend to receive and boast about how they are being treated kindly as if they are entitled. I’m happy to see you enjoy Malaysian’s hospitality but unfortunately, I visited western countries and don’t receive warm treatment as a foreigner unless they see I have money (wearing brands, etc.). I hope you learn something from Malaysians and practice it as your life values. It’s common sense to give back when you receive kindness. It’d be nice to see if you contribute/ giving something back to the Malaysian community. I know Malaysian’s will never ask for you to reciprocate BUT they will certainly appreciate if you do. All the best in your future videos 😊

    • @benfishermin
      @benfishermin  7 หลายเดือนก่อน +34

      Sorry to hear you were treated well in my country. Typically Americans are quite friendly, I guess it depends which area you went to as well, usually people don’t care too much if you’re in designer clothing unless in the rich parts of Los Angeles or something. I already have similar values as I always reciprocate kindness by being kind as well. Even if someone is not so friendly I tend to be friendly anyways, so they will hopefully learn from the situation 😁

Yours is more like things that's going on with you in your travels. What you like, what you don't like. The ups and downs. And very frank and laid back, like talking to a friend.
    So yeah. Good on you.

That's y'all gold mine. As long as travel vloggers keep being honest & respectful, Malaysians are welcoming y'all with open heart & open arms.

    When I said make friends in the last comment on your video, what I meant is try to interact with some local people when you buy food or something like that. And try to pick up some basic malay words like apa khabar (how are you). It will make your journey in Malaysia a lot easier and fun. Malaysians love that. It shows your efforts. We can understand your english but many are afraid to talk back because we rarely have an American or english speaking friend. Try to talk in very basic english and slowly because they can't pick up what you are saying. Good luck.

    You get more fan base if you vlog about the peninsula Malaysia. It also depends on what your fans love. I remember one vlogger saying he had to cut short his travel in Sabah because he noticed his vlogs about Sabah didn't get many viewing. Then again... it depends on your content.
    With regard to tattoos... Sarawak (and Sabah) has tattoo culture - traditional tattoos, that is - as compare to the peninsula. If you want to explore those... maybe hop over during the Rainforest World Music Festival (RWMF) to get in touch with other tattoo artists (if you're interested) and see where it will take you.

    • @benfishermin
      @benfishermin  8 หลายเดือนก่อน +3

      Yea you're right, I notice videos from vloggers in Borneo don't get the same kind of views. It's a bit far and can be pricey to go there, and then to fly one place to another once there. I will go for sure because I'd like to experience it, but those are the reasons I have stayed in peninsular malaysia so far.

    • @bungaialoevera
      @bungaialoevera 8 หลายเดือนก่อน +3

      @@benfishermin, if your goal is to build your fanbase, maybe you shouldn’t bother with Sabah & Sarawak. But if your goal is to truly immerse yourself further in Malaysian cultures… then you’ll experience something different than what you find in the peninsula. From our traditional indigenous food to our traditional costumes, histories, languages, the longhouses, traditional festivities… to name a few things. And that’s not even talking about the natural environment, wildlife…

      Sabah , Sarawak is a different dermographa and culture. Very different from the peninsula. Mostly tribesmen , from I don't know how many tribes. Then there's the sea gypsies , Dayak Laut (Malays I believe , I really don't know.) who lives on the seas. There's a lot of Asli's here in West Malaysia , if you know where to look. You've probably seen them without knowing it.

    personally, me as a malaysian love to watch contents by foreigners vacationing in KL is because they like to explore KL at places m'sians havent gone to. its like a KL tour sight for me. i love coffee. watching some videos, i am surprised there are a lot of hidden cafes in KL. Rooftops restaurants. basically food round the world you can find in KL. Amazing. these however cut short myself having to explore KL myself. see what i like, google, and go to that place. moreover, weather now is so hot and not that healthy myself, watching newcomers to malaysia is a pleasure for me.

If you like durian , don't check for the season , gives you a rough idea , though. (we locals would check if they're falling where we intend to go.) If it's not near famous durian farms , I expect you to get a few fruits for free. Anywhere on the peninsula. Hamada86 , what do you think ?

    Recently discovered your content. Thank you for sharing your backstory. I like the more longer, nuanced nature of your videos. Ever thought of maybe dipping your toes a little into the tattoo scene in/around KL? I feel like the local (more artistic, younger folks) community could really benefit from your talent perhaps. A lot of possibilities for some type of collaboration or a pop-up. May or may not be feasible on top of the TH-cam commitment but thought I'd throw this out! Keep it up and I'd also suggest exploring the suburbs in the outskirts of KL, there are plenty of places accessible via the main LRT and MRT lines from KL.
