Location: Petronas Towers, Kuala Lumpur Malaysia
The most iconic structure in Kuala Lumpur is without a doubt the Petronas Towers. No trip to Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia is complete without getting selfie in front of the tower!
Unfortunately, it's quite expensive to visit the skybridge that connects the Petronas Towers. For this reason, we decided to enjoy the view of the towers from the ground.
You can go inside the bottom of the Petronas Towers for free. The small structure between the two towers is a giant shopping mall, complete with food court that offers all kinds of affordable meal options.

#1 You are NOT lame
#2 We don't care where you video
#3 We care about YOU two
#4 We LOVE when you show us how you do "Your Thing"
We can watch you live the life we all would live if we could.
about the security guards carrying heavy guns, this is new. it started since isis begun bombing tourist attraction in other countries and malaysian police force did stop three different attempts by isis to plant bombs. they never manage to even build the bombs, but hey i guess better be safe than sorry.
I'm glad when countries take a very proactive (rather than a reactive) stance towards terrorism and other security threats.
Regarding escalators, here in the UK they are using the Asian style system for the simple reason it that they want you to walk pass the shops and maybe get tempted to buy something (aka increasing footfall).Loving the vlog, I only subscribed today. Keep up the good work.
+Bear AndBear thanks for subscribing! That's the BEST reasoning I've heard for the elevator system. As an entrepreneur, that makes a ton of sense!
+Bear AndBear that's true
+Bear AndBear yeah i live in kl. the escalators are always a long walk from one end to another in every mall but not in offices and others.i never noticed that. its so interesting to see kl and malaysia from tourists pov. kl looks different really.
+izzad ibrahim I spent about 3 months in Malaysia and about a month in KL. Its a great city and its a place i will go back and visit again. The only bad thing about KL was I could not find good spicy chicken wings anywhere!
I learned somewhere that's one of the common design strategies of shopping malls to encourage patronage to the stores on a particular level. I don't think this is just in Asia ...
Definitely want to learn more about how you travel hacked your way to 1.8M miles and points!
+Kasey Gourley will do!
+Nate Buchanan I will not say in what point of the video but you can read all the credit card numbers thru the tape because you have it pressed hard showing the outline of the numbers , so you might want to fix that , even thou someone would have to have the info on the back of the card also !
@@natebuchanan8334 really dying to know how you can manage all the credit cards and points all the times and how you managed all the information from all the countries
KL is a lovely city. The staggered escalators are designed that way to force you to walk past more shops and increase footfall. Great video.
Nate, as someone who works in the Hotel industry, I LOVE hearing about how you earn your points and the status upgrades you get by signing up for different CC's. I feel not enough people take advantage of what hotel chains, cc companies and airlines offer. Just a little creative maneuvering and look what you can do!
In Malaysia, unless its a fancy restaurant, you just go find a seat and plonk yourself there, unlike most western cultures where you wait to be seated.
You guys are doing your whole journey through smart planning and being in different areas that coincide with important cultural events. Great song too. I love watching you guys. I am disabled and travel through you. Safe journey. Amy in Philadelphia...USA...
regarding the escalator, it's the same reasoning why they put eggs, milk, cheese and meat (the most used food items) in the back of the grocery store so that you would impulsively buy candies on your way there
I like learning about using credit card rewards and points! I always appreciate learning more. Thanks : )
This is amazing. I am watching all your vlogs in order from the beginning in 2022. My current favorite TH-cam Channel. God bless both of you!
I would love to hear and see more videos explaining all about this traveling method.. I enjoy your videos!
thank you.
Nate, you're adorable!! I love hearing about how you cleverly finagle nice hotel stays with upgrades for Kara and you!!!! I just love watching your adventures
escalator is design for you to shop more....😂
Great info on the Hilton points! Thanks! Love your videos!
The info about accruing the points with CC and redemption of hotels/lounge access is great! Super super helpful, thank you so much!
Thanks for the points explanation. Much appreciated!!
The escalators are designed like that because it actually keeps people in the mall to keep shopping. They hope that you’ll hit a few more stores before you leave. It’s the same as supermarkets. Most people run into a supermarket for milk, so the dairy aisle is purposely positioned on the other side of the store so you will buy more. There’s a reason for everything!
My dad had his company’s offices in the Petronas Towers when we lived in Malaysia for 8 years. One of 4 nations I’ve lived in! It’s great to see your two perspectives on places I’ve spent time in & you also inspire us to check out places!
Miles and points are a huge part of your journey and it is intersting how you are doing it. Don't stop! Totally a learning experience! If I wasn't interested I wouldn't be watching and following you! Lol! Love you both!
It's great learning how you 2 make these trips happen,thanks!
Great tips on cards and miles. Thanks for the insights.
I love the video Nate... You guys are well-prepared travelers, always thinking ahead and saving money every chance you get, ...travel smart and be safe!
I never thought the points you earned off credit cards would ever amount to any true valve. You just showed me I was extremely wrong. Thanks for the great points lecture
I came from your most recent vlogs, wanting to see if you covered my country. It's encouraging to see how far both of you have evolved. You guys should get a local guide for Malaysia! Didn't even cover 1%of what we're famous for
You guys are seriously like the cutest things ever. I have just started binge watching from the beginning and so glad that I am!
Amazing!! Thank you!
Watching these old vlogs is super cool because it shows how far you have come.
Thank you for sharing the mileage/points tip. Super helpful and I look forward to seeing more of these.
Whenever I see videos like this I just wanna cry. We don't have any of those cards here. I just did a calculation of how much we'd have to spent to accumulate your miles as UK based couple. I fell off my chair! lol
But amazing vlog guys! Keep travelling!
I just started watching your videos and love them! Thanks for the credit card and travel point tips! I can’t wait to travel again and use your tips!
Being here in 2024 is absolutely crazy! Look how far you’ve come!
Awesome tips.More on the miles and points ? Yes please!
PS not boring at all.
Kara, I would have never guessed you started out weary of new foods and grossed out at first by the way you try and like things now!!! Gives me hope for my future travels lol ❤
Just found you guys on here last week, love your channel!
Cool video. I liked the part with the breakdown of the hilton bonus points system.
+guardian-of-sanity thanks! In that case, you'll probably also like the vlog where I explain how we paid for our flights using credit card points. th-cam.com/video/Q6QH3e8IFgQ/w-d-xo.html&feature=gp-n-y&google_comment_id=z13iyxoo4rvccb1kj23sfps4goajcbjcw
I just saw one of your more recent videos this weekend and I'm now binging from the beginning. Thanks for explaining how you get to stay at the hotel for free. I really enjoyed every single videos. I'm also glad that the loud and annoying music has changed by now.
Definitely NOT boring.... EVER! Love learning about how you made this trip happen
Fascinating about the points I had no idea!!!!
There's a whole eating street off Bukit Bintang, Jalan Alor.....food is super cheap...surroundings are pretty basic....but hey, that's travelling...and life too!....or you could just pay through the nose around the towers
Kara. She cracks me up with some of the thing she says. LoL. So natural ...
I can't get enough of your guys. Please make sure you have lots more vlogs by the time I am done thanks lol.
hahaha Thank you! :)
Nathan's thought about the security situation was very well stated!
Wow malaysia I been there before 4year age it’s beautiful n vice video
Nate, your security guard thing is completely true. My school constantly has national army guards around, which makes me feel safe, yet unsafe about why they're there. At the end of day, I just have to think that if there is a reason they're there, it's okay because we're safe. Love your videos, currently binge-watching!!!!!
Keep up the tips about points ! Very helpful
Love finding out how u do this with miles and points!!!!💚
Wow that is pretty cool (no pun intended) and amazing that you walked so much in 90 degrees weather...I cant even walk in like 70 degrees!
Thank you for helping me understand miles and points, the Hilton cards and benefits, etc.
that escalator system will make customer to window shopping. good for a mall strategy.
Thanks for the explanation at the end ..
Please keep informing us on your credit cards and sign up bonuses! I’m a college student working on my credit and after college I would love to travel!
Love learning abt how to use those credit card points! Thanks! 👍
your information about the poin tearning and spending was great , nate
I hate the act of traveling. If I could wiggle my nose and appear where I want to go I would go without hesitation. But the crowds, lines, planes, trains and automobiles, and dragging heavy luggage everywhere - I just can't tolerate that stuff any more. So watching your vlog is perfect for me. I don't have to do the traveling, but I can enjoy what it would be like if I did travel. Sometimes I actually feel like I've had a meal after I watch one of your food trek videos. Thanks much for this gift!
Thank you for telling us how to do it. I have a card that I earn points for a cruise w/ a cruise line that owns three different brands. I can't wait to earn enough for that free cruise. I already got two comfy robes with points. Now I am going to look into cc that have signup bonuses too. Love your vlogs and your tips!
The first vlog of yours that I watched was you eating scorpions in Laos (?) so seeing you scrunch your nose up at octopus is hilarious.
Loved learning about the mileage and points hack, please do more.
Naan looked great!
+Kara and Nate Just found your vlog... love all ur videos. Keep up the good work guys. Also, thanks for teaching us how to save money to travel the world :)
Appreciated hearing about miles and points. I want a post just on that. I need to know how you're staying in all those lounges!
Great insight into points
Love your vlogs guys! You should have eaten at the restaurant right at 8:17! Nasi Kandar Pelita is famous!
awesome! thnx:)
Love miles and points!
Flats provide many advantages for commuters or adventure riders. Varying footwear options, easier to just get on and go. My road bikes have clipless, my gravel bike has clipless with a flat plate adapter, and my adventure and rain bikes only have flats. No chamois needed, waterproof trail shoes so no booties, and just go. Just love cycling and embrace what works for you Thx for testing. ❤
nice video Osam
Hi Kara and Nate. Firstly I love your story and way of presenting and having watched some of the later blogs first, I am backtracking and now watching from the start. Early ones: TOO much about food :-) On this one I really dont understand why you didnt go to top of Petronas Towers. Only $20!!. You are getting free food in the hotel. leave out the street food and go up. Dare I say it's the reason to visit Kuala Lumpur. I always feel when travelling there are things that are a must. For instance in Venice - a gondola ride - I took one with my wife, it cost €125 about 15 years ago and probably nearly €200 in today's money for 20 minutes. Yes very expensive but the experience was wonderful. It was so romantic ( oarsman even sang opera) and worth it for the experience. I know you have done amazing things in later videos and I have noted some that Id hope to do when we can all travel again. Like the credit card tips and love the videoing and editing - superb.
I've been enjoying the vlogs quite a bit and subscribed. Your Everest Trek is what interested me the most and kept me around. However I've been irked a few times by some of the things that have been done or said on here. Biggest thing irking me lately is the fact that your calling Restaurants in these cities Street Food. They aren't street food!
hope you had fun in KL. i think the indian food court you were looking for is Pelita Nasi Kandar. You passed by it at 08:15 in the video.
UK also has weird escalators like that in some stores...off the top of my head I know for definite that m&s where I live has them the same as that mall.
If u ever come to Malaysia again, please come to Sarawak on the island of Borneo. It is a totally different experience with different cultures!
Will be going to K.L this coming October . Cant wait to try the Indian food on the banana leaf.
You both miss the lake and park in the Petronas Towers
omg, i got cold thanks to that mall :D KL wasn't so impressive according to me, but the Batu Caves were amazing!
Thank you!!
i am kara fans because of their carefree and relaxed attitude, besides their curiosity about new things.
A lot of my wonderment of what you two do, is HOW you do this. Keep on telling us how to earn these points.
🤑💰💰💲💵💸💹👍 thanks for the tips
Hey guys would just like to say thank you for your videos
Its giving me a real good idea of what to expect when me and my girlfriend finally go traveling an giving lots of great ideas
i cant stop watching and want to keep seeing what you both get up too
The food is painful to watch
Only because it all ways makes me hungry and i dont have nice things like that to eat haha
Enjoy the rest of your holidays guys will continue watching :)
all the way from Perth Aus
+Chester B that's awesome that you'll be traveling soon! Glad we could give you some ideas! Let us know if you have any questions when planning!
I LOVED Kara's escalator rant😂that was awesome!
Petronas in coutry malaysia beautifull idlike iname hien doan vietnamese
during this flog the tune got stuk in my head and could not figur what it was thanks for the lirics at the end it was driving me nuts
Omg I live here (temporarily) its so intriguing to see it from a tourist perspective
as you guys were walking and taking bout indian food.. you guys walked past an awesome indian restaurant called "nasi kandar pelita".. and the food is buffet style and.. u have to take rice and whatever dishes... and eat all you want and later pay
NOT SUPER BORING! That was brilliant
8:33 hahaha kara such a goof!
The escalators in malls are like that so they get you to walk around more :)
Hi Guy's, I love all your videos, I feel like I'm on the journey with you. The comments from the guy below are right, they want to maximise the shopping experience as the shop owners probably pay a massive premium to be in that building. Take care travel safe.
My husband and I where at the petronas towers like four days before this video was uploaded.
Just subscribed to your channel. Loving it. And, please come to India soon. Tons of good food here :')
+Utsav Garg We will! :)
so cute you two
Our escalators in Scotland are just like the ones you were on. It makes more sense when you look at it carefully
8:22 you were just passing by one of the best street food KL can offer .. NASI KANDAR ☝🏼👌🏻
Actually a great vlog on travel hacking! Boring in one sense because it's not as ~extreme~ as swimming w sharks but I would totally do this so it's super juicy info.
Not super boring explaining your point system. However, it reminds me of the coupon ladies at the grocery store with their big binders that I have to wait behind while they get "free" groceries. 😊
I love the details about how to use and earn points and miles. Any reason why you chose Hilton instead of some other hotel chain? Just curious. Thanks!
nowadays there are military and police personnel guarding shopping malls all around KL... perhaps because of the ISIS threats...
Love your accents!
Escalators are like that in some shopping centres as you might see something to buy on the way down.
