- Kuala Lumpur is definitely an UNDERRATED DESTINATION... at least for western tourists. This city is absolutely one of the biggest hubs for South East Asian travelers, but somehow Americans and Canadians (like myself) are not aware of just how amazing it is until we go there. It is a very modern and bustling metropolis of approximately 9 million people, teaming with things to see and do, plus a lot of delicious food! Join me and my Dad as we tour around the city to some of the must see destinations and you will see why this is a city I absolutely fell in love with!

The travel health insurance I use - PassportCard Nomads: www.passportcardnomads.com/?r...
*I highly recommend this travel health insurance because you don't have to pay out of pocket for your medical expenses and they have very reasonably priced long term plans. You can buy the packages for shorter trips as well, but they're especially fantastic for digital nomads and nomads who want regular health insurance when they are abroad. I am an affiliate of this company, but of course use the plans myself.

Lots of love xx

Going on a holiday with your dad, I’m touched. You’re the kind of child all parents would love to have.
Yes yes
Kuala lumpur is very underrated city. This beautiful and super diverse city should be on the list of everyone. I’d love to visit again more and more.
Thank you for promoting our country (especialy Kuala Lumpur) to the world
... as a Malaysian, I'm proud
Kuala Lumpur is awesome city indeed. I love it!
Greeting from Surabaya, Indonesia 🙋🏻♂️
So Malaysian thingy right
I was in Kuala Lumpur about 20 yrs ago I never went up the towers & the park was newly built with no greenery. It sure is nice to see it with all the trees. The beautiful botanical gardens were my favourite place to stroll. I climbed Batu caves, it was free but sadly it was not maintained & monkeys ran around trying to steal people's stuff. There were garbage & empty cans everywhere. It's nice to see it brightly painted. My daughter was living north in Subang Jaya area so I had to take a cab to the train station to get to downtown which took about 40 min. We also rented a car and went south to Malacca which is one of the oldest dutch colonial towns on the ocean. Thank you for the memonries.
A lot has happened and changed for the past couple of decades. Even locals like me found it to be rapidly shifting. Too fast indeed. You should come back here and erase all those negative experiences with wonderful ones. Like Bob Barker likes to say it, "Come on down !!" The price is right Pat.
20 year ago n you compare now 😢
I haven back to Malaysia for 4 years due to pendemic, many things changes just 4 years.
@@sayaanakmalaysia-ho5qx not comparing, they're just reminiscing about their experience back then in Malaysia and impressed with changes. Thought batu caves still hasn't been maintained.
in the past 5 years there are a lot of train stations built to cater for everyone in KL and there new stations continue to be built. Please come to visit us again. Don't rent cars. Just take Grab or Indrive to move about.
Oh my God, what a fantastic city.😲 Thanks Alina. Delighted your dad had such an amazing trip. 👍😊🇮🇪🇲🇾 🇨🇦🇺🇦
I spent 7 years living in KL a long time ago as a kid and haven’t been back in many years so it’s very interesting to see it again and watch you experience it!
Malaysia is for newbie travellers 101... if you are new to travel asia... Malaysia is the place to start...
Nothing too exciting and extreme... drinking and partying is kept to a minimum...
But if you are travelling with family and children... this is the place... English is widely spoken... relatively safe and cheap...
You will experience Malay, Chinese and Indian cultures, and Various ethnicities in Borneo
Then you can visit the more hardcore places that is south east asia... 😊😊😊
Is this a scam?
1stly, thanks for all the nice words about Malaysia.
But what I found really great about this video was that seeing how you entertained your ageing dad. Respect ppl who respect their parents.
What I loved most about this video is it's about your travelogue with your dad, whom is a senior citizen - a rarity in TH-cam. It's just giving a different dimension and dynamic. Happy travels to you both and take care.
Your presentation of Malaysia is very vivid and succinct.The wonderful scenery you captured in your vlog is second to none.Good video editing and choice of background music too.Kudos to your dad for keeping up with you.From a new🇲🇾 subscriber.🤗🤗🤗👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Thank you very much!
@@AlinaMcleod Credit where credit is due🤷🏻♂️🤗🤗🤗🤗
Very great job will miss you, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia!
KL City, dubbed as the New York City of Southeast Asia. Welcome to Malaysia 🇲🇾 Truly Asia
KL is a unique and original capital city with diverse SE Asian ethnicities and an intriguing long past history set way back millions of years ago at the time of the 2nd ice age - in 15,000,000 AD.
KL was situated at the centre where the two rivers, the sungai Kuala and the sungai Lumpur meet to become Kuala Lumpur in the Nusantara Region where the biblical paradise, the Garden of Eden originated and where the earliest civilisation on earthquake developed and flourished.
Round about 15,000 the Krakatoa volcano erupted for two weeks till it sank into The Java Sea.
The NUSANTARA region from the Malay Peninsula, Sumatra, Java, Celebes , Sulawasi all the way to East Timor and Australiaacross the Pacific Ocean was in darkness. The thick lava and dust swallowed up the sun. The temperature dropped and the sea water rose followed by a huge Tsunami. It grew colder as the sun could not pénétrate the thick lava and dust ...the Sunda Shelf sank bringing down the whole civilisation ...

I'm from KL. I would never call it the NYC of SEA. Not even close. That title would probably go to Singapore
Selamat datang Alina to KL! Your dad a very cool guy. Hope you enjoy staying and dont forget to visit Penang and Melaka as well.
Thank you! Will definitely visit there next time!
Your Dad is a trooper for successfully climbing up those steps! BTW, really appreciate your beautiful videos and awesome video editing!
Thank you!
Well Azhar.. it's not just her video but herself also beautiful lady.. 🌹
Harriet and I enjoyed our time in Kuala Lumpur, we toured with my brother who lives in Jakarta. . We toured The Batu Caves, The Petronas Towers, The Jamek Mosque and the Perdana Botanical
Gardens and a stroll through the Central Market. The many green spaces in the city are truly amazing. It brings back great memories that we had with my brother touring. As Always, Alina
You truly are the expert in touching all the right spots. Sending you much love and affection ❤❤❤ Harriet, Jim and Yuki. Richmond, Va.
Truly so many amazing places to see!
She forgot the eco park. The only city with a virgin jungle in downtown.
I was in KL for 12 days over the Christmas n new year I still didn’t get to see everything in KL I ❤️❤️❤️❤️ ALL of Malaysia especially Kuching there’s SO MUCH to see there too but KL is spectacular
_Terima kasih_ thanks to you and your dad for visiting KL/malaysia, and for the kind words 🥰
Amazing how your 75yo dad managed to put up thousands of steps day after day walking all over the city and could still climb that stairs with 272 steps, up and down again, superb! 👏👏👏
Yup, those are tip of the iceberg of what the country has, because apart from the big city attractions, malaysia also has its wonderful highlands and mountains, its dazzling beaches and islands, and its stunning underwater experiences if you love snorkeling and diving. And not to forget in the 2 borneo states of sabah and sarawak, there are many other exciting outdoorsy explorations too!
You two are definitely welcome to return to sample them another time ✌️In the meantime, enjoy your stay in singapore and in any other country you decide to visit. Take care, stay safe and have pleasant fun 👍
*WELCOME TO MALAYSIA TRULY ASIA GOOD FOODS ENJOYED*
🇲🇾❤️💖💝💞💗💕💓💝💖❤️🇲🇾
Hello from California 🌷I feel so envious! Your dad came all the way to KL to be with his beautiful daughter braving the hot weather and the spicy food. You are so fortunate Alma. May both of you be well and happy. Thanks so much for the nice video. I will certainly visit KL next spring.
It's so sweet of you to arrange for a holiday trip together with your dad to the SEA. Great going!
Little fact, that high building near your stay is PNB 118 , which is 2nd highest building in the world after Burj Dubai. 😆
Massive respect to your dad who climb that Batu Cave stairs!
Welcome aboard to Malaysia anyway.
Thank you!
I like your content, and I'm so happy to find someone who has also lived in Toronto and also found Kuala Lumpur to be an absolute hidden gem.
Wow. The only thing I knew about Kuala Lumpur before your videos was the Petronas Towers were there, and friends who had been said it was nice. A bit of an understatement, I'd say. You've shown that this is a beautiful and truly magnificent city. That list of places that you've shown me that I need to visit, just keeps growing.
Yeah I definitely feel the same, didn’t know much about it until I got here and wow, a lot to see and do!
KL is such an easy going city, the best for families with small kids. There are so many parks with free admissions, free mini water park near KLCC, free buses around KL. ☺️
Glad that your father and you enjoy visiting Kuala Lumpur Malaysia 🇲🇾👍 😊
That art museum looks like an absolute must see! With the bird park I wonder if they have to keep some birds separate from others because they would prey on the others (or be aggressive to people)? Even so I completely get your point about not wanting to see any birds or animals living in too-small enclosures. I was amazed by how chilled out the ones in the main space were, just snoozing or sitting about, letting people right up close!
That Park is Absolutely Stunning.
Hi, Alina! I couldn't agree more with you, Kuala Lumpur is definitely a hidden gem that deserves more attention! I loved watching your video and seeing all the amazing places you visited with your dad. The city truly has a lot to offer, from the stunning architecture to the delicious food scene. Your video has definitely convinced me to add Kuala Lumpur to my travel bucket list!
The fact you're taking along your dad on your vacation here.. Really touched my heart..
Proud to see there're so many tourists, especially from Western & Asia walking around the City. I hope there will be more and more tourists to come here soon to see how does Malaysia is truly Asia..
It's beautiful that you get to travel with your papa.
I’d like to give 👍to your Dad for climbing the Batu Caves steps.
Very good Alina, nice video, adequate and very clear information. I congratulate you for speaking very clearly and slowly, unlike other youtubers who cannot understand almost anything. My family and I will be in Singapore and Malaysia next August. Keep loading more interesting videos please.
I have loved your video because you are accompanied by your dad. It's amazing 👏. May you be the blessed daughter ❤️
Hi Alina, just came across your videos! especially love your filming of the places you visited, very professional. Just wanted to point out that the part about visiting tugu negara, 9:36, the "Malayan Emergency" was not a fight against British colonialism, but against the Communist Party of Malaya. At the time, the country was already on its way to independence through discussions with the British government. The transition to an independent country happened peacefully in 1957 but the fight against the communists continued for several more years after that with the support of British, Australian and New Zealand troops. Fun fact, the sculpture featuring many soldiers was designed by American Sculptor, Felix de Waldon, who also designed the US Marine Corp Iwo jima Memorial at Arlington.
Wow, Kuala Lumpur looks absolutely stunning through your lens! Your video truly captured the beauty and vibrancy of this amazing city. Every scene was a treat to watch. Thank you for taking us on this virtual tour of Kuala Lumpur and inspiring us to add this incredible destination to our travel bucket list!"
My pleasure!
@@AlinaMcleod Did it Rain while you were there?? I ask because I just realized after I scheduled an Airbnb for a month, that I will be there during the raining season, and I am Sad about it, as I was hoping to Get Some Sun Light and enjoy, but I wanted to know if their Rain is a Big Down Pour and then Calms Down, or if is a whole day thing.
It’s nice to see you bringing your Dad….I wish my daughter would do it with me
Good to see you enjoyed Malaysia Alina , it looked nice and organised,easy for tourists ✌️❤️🇬🇧

Wish u a safe journey...yea.
Come n visit us again...when u feel like missing us Malaysia 🇲🇾..
See u again
Hello Alina,
You are right, the city really is worth visiting. Especially Your clips with background audio ( not noise ) sucked me in. Like the talking shot at the Batu Caves, 13:03. I think a little bit of such an ambient sound inside of the caves together with the music would suck me in even more.
🙂👍🏻
Best regards, Ralf
Just got back from KL and Langkawi. Loved the place.
First of all belated birthday wishes..KL wow amazing 😮 Agree with you on Zoo's..Big shout out to your super fit dad ❤💙

Hello Prairie flatlanders! 😄 When I was in Western Canada, I was amazed how flat it was. However, you had this gorgeous, clear night sky hanging over you like a dome, not to mention the large, shimmering, farmlands. Thank you for this wonderful overview of KL. Please do come back and see the rest of the country.
happy B- day
Your Dad is funny sometimes! He has a simple farmer demeanor to him.
The flag there looks interesting!
Hungry, now, after watching the restaurant part! Good looking food! ,🇨🇦🇺🇸🇺🇦👍😎
So amazing
