You are absolutely right, I've been there and was amazed on that street too. Malacca is such a great place to visit!

[@AmandaMuse]

Of course, Malaysia is quite large and each city/village has something unique to offer. From big cities, to small fishing villages to beaches...a lovely place.

[@ChoongHueyuen]

Hi, I'm a Malaysian and I grew up in Malaysia, studied in KL and worked a couple of years there too before flying halfway across the globe to London for postgrad studies. I'm really glad that you've had a positive experience living in Malaysia, and I do hope you will continue to feel this way. However, I have to disagree with you when you said that the cost of living is low in Malaysia. The reason is because the majority of Malaysians are not paid well, on the other hand, expats are generally paid a lot more. Majority of Malaysians get paid between rm2000-3500, and a fresh grad in KL would be lucky if he could get a job that pays rm2300, but it is just barely enough to get by. I'll explain a bit further, renting a small room in KL would be around RM500 (you could probably get rm250 in the dodgy areas of town), monthly car installments about RM500 (varies with car of choice and instalment plan), amount to spend on gas and tolls rm400 (it was rm600 for me cause my work required me to travel more), food, rm500 (it actually depends on how often you eat out, which for most of the working class people in malaysia would be at least a meal everyday), utilities rm200 (internet, phone, mobile, water, electricity, cable). If you add them all up, that would be rm2100 a month, which leaves you with rm200. I haven't included insurance premium, student loans or the amount to give back to our parents (more of a chinese tradition), cause not everyone has or could afford insurance and not everyone practices the tradition of repaying their parents. The figures are not absolute and are just estimations based on my experiences, but I do believe it won't be that far off for everyone else. But I do have to mention that it does depend on how you prioratize things and how you spend, I believe that there are people that can live within rm2300, but I can't imagine that it would be comfortably.

[@colby_247]

Finally, this is one of the reason why alot of Malaysian leave Malaysia. Even though the price of everything is low for foreigners but it is not to us.

Malaysian do not have racism because we live happily with all the race and people.. no matter what is your skin colour is.. we love welcoming people to our country^^

[@kualarompin589]

Nah, we do have racism, because that's what human do, tend to be tribalistic. In 2019 right now, it is getting worse with social medias and people blatantly spreading fake news. Just few days back there was Kongres Maruah Melayu, which I have no problem if they actually discussed how to be better as Malay race, but most of the talks were about blaming other races. Kinda sad really.

[@sakurasoh]

Hi Amanda Muse, it's a pleasure to know that you found comfort in our sanctuary. I really hope that your stay here will always be protected and safe. Well, if you miss being in cold, you can always go to our highlands but probably not as winter-y as Canada. Have a wonderful time in Malaysia.

Hi Amanda.. Thanks for your beautiful sharing about Malaysia.. I found out that you're so happy living there.. How many years have you been staying there? I know that Malaysia is one of the food paradise in the world.. May I know what's your favourite local food so far? ^__^

[@redindian2209]

i dont agree that its a food paradise. its a food paradise for muslims? this is because all the food except for chinese is halal. that mean, burger king, mcd donimo, etc is all halal, and in the old days it was the only muslim you could go to where you could get halal. now uae pakistan etc get burger king etc

[@azharkent]

@@redindian2209 so, what's the issue with Halal or non-Halal? You have preference to which food that you can take.. Or all this while, you are starving for the non-Halal food? Where in Malaysia do you live? LOL

[@redindian2209]

​@@azharkent YOU IDIOT, now listen, obviously everyone knows that mcds burger and pizza hut is the premium food in the west, thats why they call it kfc original recipe. its not about have preference, we all need to obey.UNDERSTAND.

[@AmandaMuse]

This is true. Malaysia is a wonderful multi-cultural place. A mixture of people, with many religious holidays and events to partake in, it's wonderful. I must admit though, life with an 18 month old leaves very little time for involvement in the community regardless of where one happens to be living.

This video is lovely! I used to be an expat in Turkey, and likely will be again at some point in the future. There are so many beautiful things about the expat life, but at times it becomes easy to be negative and highly critical of the culture around you, especially when it isn't quite as developed as your home land. I hope that I will be far more optimistic and open my next time around experiencing expat culture. I look forward to more videos from you, girl!

[@typicalchineseguy5818]

I was born in Malaysia and lived there for 19 years before I moved into Japan for better job. You see, although the government itself are corrupted, it is not really that bad living in there unlike any communist countries (North Korea as example), citizen there had a very great life living in it (well, unless you lived in Kuala Lumpur which has higher crime rates than any other cities or states but the crime rate isn't that bad). People have so much freedom to do whatever they want. Although many people works in a job that pays a small amount of income, the economy is pretty good actually.

Having been born and bred there, IMHO for the locals, it is truly struggle street. Cost of living is astronomical if on a local salary and there is a huge variance between the haves and have nots. Of course if u earn USD, GBP or AUD and live in Malaysia it is fantastic and can have the luxuries of maids, a nice condo, shopping for imported food etc. Furthermore crime is spiralling out of control, local education is declining in standard, discrimination is rife, corruption has been normalised.

Love this video Amanda :) Malaysia is a great place! When I was a little one I would go to any restaurant and there would be games and photos taken (occasionally icecream) and I think that's one of the things that made my mum comfortable to move us here alone with 3 girls under 10! We appriciate the family lifestyle too :) even tho I'm a big girl now ;)

Love this. How amazing and so incredibly cool that you are living there and experiencing that walk of life. So cool. Im still hoping you do a DITL in the actual town like shopping or out and about. I think it would be so neat to actually see things going on. Thank you for sharing!

What a sweet thing to say, thank you!

How cool! I'm totally jealous that you were strong enough to leave what's comfortable....I want to move so badly but can't imagine being so far away from home. Could you, or have you done a video about how your family handled your departure?

Not much of a barrier, most people speak English as a second language so it's fairly easy to get by.

I grew up in Canada living (married and kids) in Croatia...but my parents are Croatian....still did have a rough time adjusting at the beginning...thanks for sharing..love watching your videos! :)

Its lovely to know that you love Malaysia mostly because of the hot weather.most Malaysians will spend a lot just to live in colder regions.
