❌13 STARTLING Things Not To Do In ASIA : bit.ly/2G5Hodv

[@armunro]

Miss Malaysia! Had a hired Proton for 3 months and drove all over Malaysia. Nice video guys; so cheap compared to Thailand.

[@DivertLiving]

We do as well! Thank you so much!

[@joeawk]

We have less of the thing about charging foreigner, a much, much higher price, than Thailand.

[@lumpialife]

You inspired us with your Bali video, so we went. We're now planning on doing 12 months 12 countries and your vids are totally inspiring us!

[@DivertLiving]

Thank you so much! We hope you have a great trip!

[@brianbaxter3913]

I have a friend that lives in Malaysia and she wants me to go there to visit her. After watching your videos here I am thinking it will be a good place to visit so on the bucket list it goes. The food looks good and seems to be very cheap. Too bad Tah does not get more excited when trying food and drinks haha. Enjoy your stay there and look forward to more videos

[@DivertLiving]

Thank you so much!

[@SakuraDao]

verrry nice the video i so happy when i whatching your video

[@quarkyman1]

I am loving Malaysia. Great vid guys. 👍👍🍺🍺

[@DivertLiving]

[@traveling_tikiman5073]

Thxs for putting prices. Should do that on all videos

[@DivertLiving]

In most cases we do :)

[@DivertLiving]

Thank you so much!

[@TheWonderingEnglishman]

Great insight into the costs - I’ll be returning to South East Asia this year on my adventures.

[@DivertLiving]

Thank you so much!

[@KabobHope]

I really enjoy the vids you two put out. Y'all are everywhere and always a treat much better than Durian Ice Cream! 🍦

[@DivertLiving]

We love that ice cream is so good! hahaha

[@daletroncasablancas7870]

Great video, now im headed to Malaysia !

[@DivertLiving]

Hope they are helpful!

[@jeffreysetapak]

OMG, the medical bill in Malaysia is ONLY $9.26 consultation+medicine???? Many Americans feel like to cry when they watch this video.

[@DivertLiving]

hahahha

[@TheAkuzul989]

For Malaysian citizen, the cost for a consultation + medicine in goverment hospitals is just RM1 (USD 0.25) 😅

[@jeffreysetapak]

@@TheAkuzul989 Unfortunately the RM1 treatment is ONLY for Malaysians. Foreigners cannot enjoy this welfare.

[@IrfanKamil]

cool, good video for my family trip next week! thanks!

[@DivertLiving]

Hope you have a great time!

Love your style guys ,just came back from Thailand (underwelmed) after my 20th trip ...need to branch out , Malaysia, Singapore, Philippines etc....thanks for your energy and Jimmy you're a lucky guy (your lady is a 11 out of 10 👌🙏

[@DivertLiving]

Thank you so much! I agree shes a keeper! - Jimmy

[@-MacCat-]

Thanks for yet another great vid J & T. The content and delivery are both enjoyable and very useful. In fact so much so that you are a standout amongst your YT peers. Keep up the great work and we look forward to more.

[@DivertLiving]

Thank you so much! We really love hearing that. We have tried really hard to be different:)

[@louis20122]

Wow. I have no idea Malaysia is so affordable. Thanks for the video.

[@DivertLiving]

Thank you for watching:)

[@TheMostWantedTravel]

Yes our country is so underrated in many sense 😉 glad that you enjoyed! Can never say no to the oh so good kopitiam ice coffee!! 😁

[@ftinftin8937]

You really must go to Teluk Bahang and try Roti Jala eaten with curry. It's so so big in size and it's super delicious. Location - Belimbing Cafe Teluk Bahang. It's available for breakfast n brunch. A traditional malay food it's hard not to like it.

[@danielefurtado154]

You guys are helping me with my english ❤

[@DivertLiving]

We love that :)

[@enyeleanlje6437]

Malay words and phrases that you should know when you are visiting Malaysia (Traveler's guide) 1. Terima Kasih=Thanks 2. Sama-sama=You are Welcome 3. Salam Sejahtera=Hi/Hello 4. Saya mahu pesan ~= I want to order (your food) 5. Milo Ais- Iced Milo (Malaysian favourite drink) 6. Maafkan saya- (Excuse me/I'm sorry) 7. Apa khabar- How are you 8. Khabar baik-I'm fine 9. Di manakah ~ - Where is (place you want to go)? And one more thing.. If you are using Google translate from English to Malay.. The translation of 'I' sometimes it is translated as 'Aku'.. 'aku' is used for basic conversation like to your friend or someone you know close. But for general use, it's better to use 'saya' (also means I) because it's more polite❤️ If any Malaysians here want to add some more important Malay words or phrases especially for traveler.. Just add in the comment❤️

[@DivertLiving]

Thank you so much!

It will be interesting if you can rate EAST malaysia cost of living too. Can be either Kuching or KK

[@DivertLiving]

The food OMG so so good!

[@psyamok3735]

So impressed by your travel vlog on my hometown Penang. Made me homesick and just want to hop on a plane now to go home...... Thanks for showcasing my lovely hometown. You mentioned something about sim card and facebook online. May I know what is it and what brand or name of that service? Is there a website I can go get more info?

[@kelliesquire2981]

I am always blown away by the photography and editing of your videos. They are always so professional. I just love your sunsets and sunrises. Out of interest how many mangoes did you get for 3kg. Here in Australia it about $3 a mango? Love this vlog. Keep up.the great work

[@DivertLiving]

[@jellevg-x4u]

I’m going to work as an Intern in Kuala Lumpur for 3 months. Thank you for this video. Quick question; I am from the netherlands and I am going there with a lot of dutch friends. We are all around 195cm, will this cause any problems?

[@DivertLiving]

No i dont think so :) Hope you have a great trip!

[@brianfromfl5701]

Yup! I'm convinced! I will definitely be visiting Malaysia! Sooo, bummer.. I'm gonna start trying my hand at videos. I was going to wait until I got to Phillipines but coronavirus now has me stuck. Don't feel bad...Im 'stuck' in Key West! Keep posting videos please! I'm living vicariously through y'all right now until this travel crap is lifted(Jimmy, as a deterrence, they are not accepting med patient transfers to the Manila VA office. That's why I'm waiting.) Boy.... I sure do dig that divert living logo. I sure do wish they had ball caps or those polyester fishing shirts!!! I'd buy a couple in a heartbeat!

[@DivertLiving]

Ahhh yea sorry we dont offer them at the moment however, if you check our store we have a new 2020 line that is way better than the last line! Its Higher quality clothes and prints with an Egyptian cotton blend and free world wide shipping! Seriously the best merchandise we could find anywhere, not just saying that! divertliving.com/shop/

[@DivertLiving]

Corona Virus has stuck you!? Like you have it!? We hope you're ok! To be honest I don't think i would use the VA unless i REALLY had to. the wait is always so long and its so cheap to get most things done that the time sometimes isn't worth it

[@brianfromfl5701]

Yeah man, I was wondering about regular insurance and I saw your older video. I get what the VA are doing. Basically the email I got was that Manila office wouldn't have the resources to handle an outbreak, so they are asking us to not transfer our records to PH and they are backburnering the ones that do. I can't complain though.....even the chance of getting stuck in a quarantine gives me anxiety!!!! LOL, Im Sure you can understand! But I did use our GIBill to get my PADI Pro licences so you guys will have to come dive with me if we cross trails!

Affordable City to Retire and Expatriate in Malaysia. 1. Georgetown, Penang 2. Kuala Lumpur, Federal Territory 3. Ipoh, Perak 4. Kuching, Sarawak 5. Kota Kinabalu, Sabah 6. Malacca City, Malacca 7. Kuala Terengganu, Terengganu 8. Taiping, Perak 9. Shah Alam, Selangor 10. Labuan, Federal Territory In my personal opinion, major all above the best food capitol in Malaysia. 😋🤗🍛🍜🍧🥘🍗☕🍮🍦🌮🍔

Rm15 challenge for food a day pls hehe

RM15 if per person totally no problem especially in January 2020 because u can get 50% discounts by using FOOTPANDA with this code huatdeal. The minimum spend is RM20 and maximum discount is also RM20. Now they are two people, RM30 for 3 meals just nice.

As gluten-free person, I always wonder what could I eat there, or would it be difficult? No wheat for me.

[@bestbeast74]

So many choice for gluten free food...

[@theanhoe72]

The main wheat based items in Malaysian food would be yellow (egg) noodles and dumpling / spring roll wrappers in both Malay and Chinese cuisine. Most noodle dishes use rice flour noodles or mung bean starch - these are white or translucent so you can clearly tell them apart from the yellow noodles. The main thing to avoid is Chinese vegetarian "mock meats" which pure gluten!
