Perhaps next time in KL, you could stay at the Star Residence or maybe at other apartments, or spend a day or two at one of the luxurious hotels in KL. I heard that the Mandarin Oriental, the Four Seasons, St Regis, Ritz Carlton are among the cheapest in the world compared to the others of the same luxurious hotel brands in the world.

Thanks for watching Yasin! Yes I looked into the Star Residence but was informed they banned short term rentals. Hopefully this policy will change in the future so I can visit. Thanks for the recommendations! I've started to identify my niche on KZbin and I think showing the affordable luxury of KL will provide the most value to my viewers.

2:50 - no squat rack at the CeylonZ gym? Or any barbell? 5:10 - same for ExpressionZ 6:30 - same for Colony Infinitum 8:22 - same for the "pretty extensive gym" at Lucentia 11:04 - same for ScarletZ. Also, Airbnb reviewers say the elevators are EXTREMELY slow (15 minutes)
@TedPatrickBaird29 күн бұрын
There was enough equipment at all the gyms to get a great full body workout. You can do DB Sumo Squats or DB Lunges with 25kg DB. With a full DB rack, the options are endless. The Scarletz elevators did regularly have a line.

About the coworking spaces in the buildings: are there actually people working? On YT it always looks like its empty. For me the point of a coworking space is also to connect and meet people. I think going to a public coworking is better, right?
@TedPatrickBaird6 ай бұрын
From my personal experience, I don't see hotel coworking areas at more than 50% capacity. I saw people interacting at the Ceylonz business lounge. The issue with Ceylonz is the lack of charging outlets in the business lounge. I've been to Common Ground Coworking and that was filled with people. It wasn't worth the price but if you want to meet people I'm sure it'll be justified. Thanks for watching!

KL is a dream! I'm glad you liked the spaces, John. Malaysia is becoming more popular due to the flexibility for expats. Check out MM2H (Malaysia My 2nd Home) and De Rantau for extended stay visas. Nomad Capitalist on KZbin has a lot of great information. Malaysia was a former British/Dutch colony so English is spoken frequently. I had no issues communicating with locals.
