FIRST DAY IN MALAYSIA! KUALA LUMPUR IS UNIQUE
hello everyone here from Kuala Lumpur the capital of Malaysia and this is going to be our first time traveling in Malaysia previously we've been in the other big countries in Southeast Asia like Thailand Indonesia Philippines yeah and the other ones but yeah this is going to be like the final major country that we needed to explore in Southeast Asia so really excited and we're going to be here for a month overall and here in Kuala Lumpur we're staying in a popular area called bukit bintang's where a lot of the attractions are and we're staying in a really amazing condo here it's called Ceylon Suites and it's 36 so it's a very modern looking place you can see a double bed and a single bed there got a pretty good sized TV there's a AC room as well and we're on the 33rd floor so we get really good views of like the downtown area and I like this too so at the window there's some cushions here so you can even just down here with the view don't get that too often and then we do have a kitchen as well it took me a few seconds to work out where we would do the cooking and then I realized that this here swings open and yeah there it is so there's the oven so we can do the cooking so yeah even this is really nice and modern and then this time we also have a washing machine so we've been able to do some laundry as well the majority of the times we just go to a place in the street and they'll do the laundry for us for a couple of dollars but we've been able to do it here and then through this slide door here's the bathroom also very modern just like the rest of the condo so for 36 dollars it's probably one of the best deals we've ever had because it also has a gym it has a rooftop pool which we'll check out later on even has like a little Supermarket below like a mini market so yeah just a really awesome deal and look how awesome this is so in front we're basically in like a big Jungle which you won't expect to see in like a capital and we arrived there at night so we had no idea did we no we had no idea as everything was dark but like it really looks like a very nice city because it has you have the mix of jungle and like modern buildings and stuff but yeah let's explore it today to see how it is this part here is actually uh Eco Park so maybe that's why this specific area is so green but even this part here there isn't an Eco Park still very green also got an old church there by the looks of it so even though there's a church this country is a majority Muslim I think it's like 60 though so I think next is like Buddhist around 20 then uh Christians and then Hindus so we're just gonna walk into the heart of the city now but look at this like everything is just like a big jungle around here on our street anyway but even as you're looking down look there's just like huge trees everywhere huge trees and huge buildings foreign so not only is it jungle like scenery everywhere it even sounds like a jungle I don't know if you can hear you can hear like the birds animals insects whatever's in there so over here we got what looks to be like some sort of Temple Maybe it's in Chinese is that a temple cow I have no idea yeah I'm not too sure some sort of Chinese building they got images of Chinese people over there so now we're no longer on our street and yeah it's still very green I mean not as much of a jungle now but still get loads of these like jungle looking trees around it seems to be more like a trendy restaurants and cafes around here and next to the cafe it also looks like a bit of a local area look like locals houses up here apartment block foreign into one of the street art Lanes where you're gonna find closer street art everywhere I think these guys are eating the stinky Dorian that we haven't tried yet yes around here all the street is full of our even on the floor like a bridge on the water oh wow look at this yeah all the way all the way down either side right all right I guess we'll walk around here a bit like the jungle looking frog and here you got the Malaysia flag and some Chinese lanterns so Malaysia is very mixed you have a Chinese Malaysians you have Indian Malaysians and then you have the natives which I think they called malays which were the you know like original inhabitants of the land and I think also in Indonesia you have many malays this one looks even cooler yeah okay it's a big part it's not just one street I think it's a few little streets here so from what I read this was an initiative that they did to make these like abandoned looking back Alleyways more interesting and tourist attractions right and yeah they're definitely succeeded in that it's really really cool so as Carol said there's loads of different streets even down here look at this building amazing always seems to be more like the natural kind of paintings so it Blends well with the jungle like scenery of the city and Malaysia chimney right foreign I guess this would have kind of looked like this right I wonder why they didn't paint in that building maybe somebody didn't want it changes the place and it makes it look like a touristic Place yeah you got the underwater animals now fishes look at this on this side it's almost like psychedelic looking so this looks like a pretty interesting intersection here deputies are like trams going over the roads I guess it's a tram right not a train just so on fast before the big Billboards so I remember when we came here at night it reminded us a bit of like Las Vegas didn't it yeah and we went we passed by a park where there were like many bars and music and Corners going crazy lots of lights and stuff I think it was probably around here College foreign other places in Southeast Asia they're really into their malls aren't they yeah like in Manila in the Philippines it was like that and also Bangkok design Island huge malls too small good fancy stores yeah malls everywhere so the moles also look super fancy and modern on the inside oh that was cool yes I think here in Malaysia we still got to wear the mass indoors right yes I think so I'm confused about the the rules but I think we need to at least everybody is wearing some I think that's the room yeah I don't see anyone without a mask here right now oh these guys are yeah I don't know I mean here even outdoor a lot of people are still wearing uh masks we don't I don't think you have to I think the rule says that you don't have to but a lot of people still wear it so from what we've seen you'll find all the really expensive Brands around here I've already seen like oh my honey Gucci things like that so we got our SIM card celcom blue cube that's the company I think you have to just show your passport right yeah they took a picture of my details and yeah I think it was 58. bring it bring it yeah I forgot the currency name but um it's supposed to be unlimited but I think the speed is six megabytes six megabytes per second yeah but that's fine unlimited yeah should be fine and that's for a whole month uh yes we're an entire month 30 days okay seems like a good deal foreign thank you so we're on our way to the famous Petronas Towers now like deep in the heart of the downtown area so I guess this is like the main business district because he loads are like business looking buildings here I can actually see the reflection of the Petronas Tower I can't see it on this side but I can see the reflection in the in the mirror so yeah that's like Banks and stuff I guess a British style bus almost so here they are the gigantic Twin Towers one of the iconic images of Malaysia and Kuala Lumpur we found a good spot here in the shade as well on Google Maps it says that this is the best Viewpoint or something yeah for photos yeah it is good obviously you don't want to go too close because it's so big but yeah you can really see it really well here so those are the biggest Twin Towers in the world they were the biggest buildings in the world until 2004 but I think quite a few buildings around the world have past them now especially the one that we went to in Dubai which I think is the biggest the Burj Khalifa but still really impressive either way yeah and the fact that it's two towers looks really cool so they are 452 meters high you can also go to the top I don't think we're gonna bother going but yeah you can go up there foreign yeah so this is what happens when you come up close this is why the Viewpoint over there was better super high what next feet yeah you got neck pain from looking up those look pretty amazing though so it's pretty cool because even in the downtown area it's still a very green place isn't it yeah even that building over there it looks cool because it has the complaints going down yeah look at that I don't think we've ever seen a building like that in like a business district plants growing all over the side yeah so it's really cool how they've mixed the two things nature and modern buildings around here so we're going through the middle now not entirely sure what's inside I don't know if it's like a shopping mall look at that though construction started on this place in uh 1993 so it's not even that new looks brand new though still can't work out what's inside this place looks like there's like a theater maybe I don't know if that's here inside I'm here to be okay our insurance and tickets oh look at this like Formula One so it is another shopping mall pretty fancy looking one Gucci again I think the other floors might be like Office Buildings or something but yeah these are definitely a mall okay thank you so the other side of the towers look a lot nicer got this little Fountain kill going on here I think this is why they have the proper fountain show at night with the lights and stuff probably look really cool cool spot to hang out as well that's what everybody's doing foreign so this area here is actually a park it's called KLCC Park got some more wacky looking jungle trees look at the roots on these trees yeah from the Amazon from the Amazon trees once again foreign so we've now come to the Eco Park here which is right in front of the place that we're staying it's 40 Ringgit for foreigners and a tent if you're a local so here we can do some Forest Trails which should be cool there's also a big tower I can even camp in here I didn't know that yeah so just head this way and see what we'll find so they have these towers there that you can climb up and there's a canopy walk at the top like a bridge I think a rope bridge I don't think I've mentioned yet but it is extremely hot it's about 34 degrees and uh extremely humid in Malaysia I think it's always extremely humid here so here we got the best view of our building we're up there somewhere on that floor look at that unusual building there as well right next to us gonna see that from our room the size of that yeah it's huge yeah that might be some of the biggest ones they've seen like that didn't we see uh that in like Mexico yeah like bigger than me yeah impressive well that's way way bigger than you so on this trip in Malaysia we do plan on going to like the proper jungle we want to go to Borneo at the end and yeah that'll be like a legit jungle with loads of monkeys and stuff I think elephants too so it's going to be really cool but it's still nice what they've done that you can still have an area like this in the city and yeah it's pretty crazy to think that Kuala Lumpur was one Soul like this would have all been like this everywhere some really interesting trees and plants though like this one here I don't think I've ever seen this before got these like thin branches and then just loads of big leaves like that and all of them unusual here we've got a gigantic tree it's like the ones that we'd see in the Amazon yeah yeah we were saying that this park reminds of the park that we visited in manaus which is the capital of the state of amazonas in Brazil which was also like a jungle inside the city yeah it was very cool and over there we saw this type of trees like giant trees so check out the size of this Tower here huge tower that is the tallest tower in Southeast Asia I think it's called Manara Tower 421 meters high so you can go up that Tower it's actually in the same Eco Park that we're in right now to the observation deck it's 49 for foreigners and uh to the sky deck which I guess is the highest part it's 99 for foreigners will be cheaper if you're a low color but we're not going to go up since we already have some pretty good views from our hotel which we'll be showing later on thank you okay so we're coming back to the spot that we're staying at now going to the pool area for the first time check this out for a pool definitely the best part of staying here yeah the view yeah the view is absolutely incredible so that was the tower that we could see before you can see even better now and Petronas is over there you can only see one of the towers we're kind of like side on it's cold I wasn't expecting it to be cold chilly pool yeah so we didn't go up any of the other Towers because we already get an amazing view here but yeah obviously that is way higher than we are so I guess the view would be quite a bit better wouldn't it yeah we'll never know yeah we'll never know maybe in the future we'll all go up yeah I still have no idea how this place is 36 dollars a night only definitely one of the best value places that we've ever stayed thank you thank you so this is the top floor that they have here they have some cool spots to hang out I guess you can bring food and eat here it's a barbecue place oh yeah barbecue place maybe you can do a barbecue and yeah you got some more better views from here like 360 views look at that build in there really crazy looking building watch the sunset from here too it's pretty much sunset time now isn't it so yeah at 7 pm pretty cool even up here is green literally everywhere in Kuala Lumpur I think they call it the sky Garden don't they yeah I think the other Gardens in the building too in lower levels yeah but it's probably the best because of the height there's the pool down there foreign so it's night time now and we've come to the rooftop of the place that we stay in once again because there's a really cool restaurant here so we reserve this table here and we just choosing our meal now so I think we're both gonna go for the salmon that's 58 Ringgit but you can get cheaper options this is like chicken 38 even a pasta carbonara 28 so there are some cheaper options but we're both craving the salmon and this is how the city looks at night so maybe even cooler with all the lights and especially this side because some extra colors there look at the tower now changes color all the time so just like all fancy restaurants the portion isn't very big but yeah it is extra tasty it has a teriyaki sauce so that's really nice so we're still planning to make one more video here in Kuala Lumpur really enjoyed
