You guys are super real. Only few KZbinrs really explore real "Malaysia". Other KZbinrs only tours around peninsular Malaysia 🎉🎉🎉.. Gotta ready for climb next trip to Malaysia

[@bepopxxx]

No, most youtubers just explore kl literally not even other negeri

[@dinaqis4566]

​@@bepopxxx yeah

[@colintanmh]

You should return and climb mount kinabalu. For the ultimate challenge, do it during the rainy season.

[@WorldAfterCovid19TV]

Not Malaysia...But, SABAH NORTH BORNEO IS A COUNTRY...

[@yewbtang1848]

The rain actually accentuates the cosy feeling..... especially having hot coffee or tea beside the fireplace with your other half! Romantic too! 🥰

Only Flora and Note can turn a rainy day into a fun one, good video🌧️

[@zailinahmad9695]

Yeahh thats so true!

[@notmyname3556]

Btw, you two got here(Malaysia) in the middle of school break. The school term is just starting last week, so tourist spots like this were flocked with people

[@chaw294]

Kundasang is indeed breathtaking. It's very unlucky for you both as it's pouring but nevertheless you guys are having a fun time there. Yeah, do come back to explore more and climb Mt Kinabalu. Malaysia always welcomes you with open arms...with ❤ from 🇲🇾

Climbing mount Kinabalu needs training if you are not an outdoor person(it is not like walking in a park) and altitude sickness pills maybe needed. Take it 1 day before the climb to get your body to react first. The fee is high though for non Malaysian. About 450 USD. The detailed preparation and things to do is in a vlog by french traveller Alwin GC. You can watch other vlogs too. Example British traveler Adam Radcliffe. Do not go up laban rata when raining, they may cancel the climb up to the peak.

[@haireenabdhadi8363]

You both are just wonderful. I love Sabah, people are so kind and genuinely friendly. There are more places to go to and dont forget Sarawak too!

[@TheTruth2505]

I think sabah is the best state in Malaysia. u have beautiful city near ocean, jungle, mountain, villages. Life balance 👍👍👍.

Hello Flora and Note. Kundasang is very beautiful, and you both always get the best drone shots in you're videos. I l would love to see you both do a series in Japan one day.

Awww...you did went to Kundasang...Kundasang is well known for the breathtaking majestic mount Kinabalu view.. If you drive a lil bit ahead, you can go to Tagal Kampung Luanti (Fish spa) and Poring Hotspring ..owh, I think the suspension bridge you came across, it's in an area called Tamparuli.. I miss Sabah!!!!😭😭😭

Eventhough Calgary is home for me now, but I went back to my hometown in Kota Kinabalu almost every year. Glad you guys love my hometown just like our current hometown in Calgary

[@teomai]

If both of you wanna climb mount Kinabalu. Please do it between June to mid July. Because it will be the hot season and the sky will have a clear view of the surrounding areas. The suspension bridge is called "Jambatan gantung Tamparuli" at Tamparuli town.

[@FloraandNote]

Ahhh we’ll keep that in mind! Thanks!

[@H.Witcher]

We climbed it in Dec and came back down on Christmas Eve, and fortunately it didn't rain on way up but it did on way down. For those who plan to climb, I recommend you train 6 months before attempting. Iirc, if you don't reach the last checkpoint at 12,000 feet by 5 am, you are not allowed to continue to the peak.

[@rockhound3942]

actually in kundasang there is a bbq place you guys should go its quite famous

[@charlesjc893]

On a good day, I suggest you go up Sosodikon Hill very early in the morning to watch the sun rise & a breathtaking view of the mountain & surroundings .

[@jerrybenjamin7660]

Yes, there are lots of things to see and do in Kundasang but never mind, there's always another time. However, sometimes the rain enriches and intensifies the cool relaxing atmosphere in Kundasang. I'm glad you liked the gelato and chocolate milk in Desa Cattle.

Holstein is the breed of cow. I grew up on a dairy farm. We didn't hand milk cows in the 80s. We used machines. However my grandfather taught me to milk a cow by hand. It's important to do it right for the cows comfort.

[@Mrfrontrow]

My grand parents and 3 different uncles were dairy farmers. I used to spend summer vacations on the farms that my family members had. The big black and white cows are "holsteins" They are known for the large volume of milk that they produce and are the largest of the milk producing cows.
