Weicome to Kuala Lumpur , Malaysia Tommy-Boy! The insect orchestra in the Bukit Nanas Eco Park ( Bukit = hill & Nanas = Pineapple in the Malay language ) is probably made by Malaysian cicadas & yes , it is wiser to change to a smaller & lighter backpack to bring along a small retractable umbrella inside a plastic bag to shield from the elements & don't forget to dry it in the hotelroom , a pair of sunglasses & sun hat & insect repellent spray & insect bite numbing lotion & antibacteria & antibac wet tissues are always come in handy! A spare phone with powerbank would be wise too in case of emergency! You just missed the many Christmas decorations in many Shopping Malls around KL from November to December 2024 which you can catch up in other channels' recorded videos! A belated Merry Christmas & A Happy New Year 2025 to Tommy-Boy , families & to All Your Royal Followers! Stay safe , healthy , stay vigilant & stay humble Tommy-Boy! 🙏🌷🌿🍎🍊🫐🥘🍕🍔🍟🍰🍵

[@RofieeTwo]

Good advise. Whenever I travel I bring almost all of the above including my First-Aid kit bag. I take it everywhere with me. While hiking in the wilderness of California mountains and desert, I would also bring a snake suction kit with me. It allows me to get the venom out should I get bitten by a snake. I bring this with me to Malaysia as well. I use it to suck out the "poison" (lack of a better word) from all the mosquito bites. After that, it stop itching within minutes and I don't have to use any insect numbing sticks. I still bring a numbing stick with me but rarely need to use them simply because the snake suction kit is that effective.

[@tommy-boy]

@@RofieeTwo I could do with that for the mosquito bites for many of my trips!

[@stargazeronesixseven]

@RofieeTwo Excellent preparation indeed! Luckily in KL , there is very little snakes around except for some pythons sneaking in from the secondary forest to catch some rats or the very small black snakes that can found near some bushes in the fringes of the suburbia near KL! Thank You So Much for the useful & informative tips! Happy New Year 2025 to you too Sir! 🙏🌷🌿🍎🍊🥘🍕🍰🍔🍟🥧🍨

[@RofieeTwo]

I was somewhat captivated by your stunning videography and colorful scenes. I had to stop watching the video and look at your name and description, only to find out that you are an "Artist On Tour". Then it all made a lot of sense. I have been watching quite a few Malaysian travel videos and because of that, Google's KZbin algorithm has been recommending more and more of Malaysian video "knowing" that I enjoyed it. Of the many videos I have seen so far, yours is the most visually pleasing. Narration and history is also very appropriate to the video. I would tone down on the color saturation boost of your videos. Nice to bring out the vibrant color but not too much. As one of your commenters were saying, probably good idea to tone down the video of you talking and instead focus more on the scenery. Pronunciation: I love your impeccable pronunciation of "Laksa" and especially "Rendang" - spot on! Only later, I realized that you have been to many places in Indonesia. Durian: A few decades ago, I found the best description of Durian which I totally agreed upon. It taste like Vanilla custard! To me, that is exactly what it tasted like. My advise for first time durian eater is not to talk so much about it, and do NOT smell it first. It is best to just eat it and let your nose adapt to it later. Your nose will adapt. This is how I taught my Ukrainian-born wife on how to eat the durian. She took a bite and loved it. I did told her about the Vanilla custard first. You have to psych the person up first. She fell in-love with it on the first bite. Now, whenever we travel to Malaysia, we would go durian hunting - that is a must. Bloody thing is addictive!

[@tommy-boy]

Thank you very much, that's very kind of you to say! I enjoy the creative aspect of it, it fits in with my love of drawing. I am always trying different things with my videos so I'll take on board what you're saying. I appreciate that you think my pronunciation is okay! And yes Durian is very unique, I've still never had anything like it! I get the consistency of custard but I've never been able to say what the flavour is! But it's definitely something everyone has to try!

You should visit Sabah also it has more green forest you can see orang utan also, a lots of beautiful island in semporna and mountain Kinabalu

I would always have an umbrella with you! Some locals would be better advising you on the weather however, it will certainly be warm though

[@drteddy70]

Malaysian weather is always warm and humid. Ditch the heavy jacket. Go for loose, light cotton clothes. Despite what you might be led to believe, you can wear shorts and sleeveless shirts, especially in major cities. You will need trousers and shirt with sleeves if plan to visit temples and mosques. Bring a light jacket as some places set their air conditioner to "arctic". A hat and umbrella or raincoat would be wise. Just buy them when you arrive. Sunscreen is essential, but you can get all major brands in Malaysia. Only pack sunscreen if you are using a uncommon or otherwise less popular brand.

[@jttbrother]

2:35 You are describing Malaysia with background music of Japanese instrument😅😅. Maybe you can use this suggestion “Pucuk Pinang Instrumental Asli” as soundtrack and or just search “Instrumental Asli Melayu”

[@tommy-boy]

It wasn't Japanese 😂 but I often use mixes of music for all places but I'll remember that for future if I'm able to use it thank you!

[@fauziahpawan6605]

you really must learn our way of eating rice with a spoon...and fork...but trying to pick up rice with a fork just doesnt give u a good bite 😅....better still why not learn to eat with your hands...right hand only pls...once pass the ahkward start you will realise how hearty a simple meal can be just because we use the hand...❤

[@tommy-boy]

Definitely! I travel to so many different countries with different eating styles, I forget which way to do it in each place! 😂 in my country, we always use a fork for rice! Yes I will definitely try that in future, I'm always happy to do whatever the locals do!

[@alleymittanderson5799]

@@tommy-boy eating rice with fork are quite "acceptable" for western meal but surely not for Asians rice meals. Why? Because the concept is mixed multiple dishes into your spoon or hand then you eat it together in one shot.. Some with gravy that is means to mixed with the rice that is flavourful. That way, you will enjoy the True taste of Asians cuisines with rice. Trust me, same dishes different way of eating will give you different perspectives and enjoyment for sure. As simple as we didnt eat burger in a separate manner but all in one in one huge bite 😅

[@tommy-boy]

@@alleymittanderson5799 In my country, the UK, we use a fork for everything, including rice meals! So sometimes I revert back to my natural fork use 😂 but yes of course everywhere I go, I prefer to do as the locals do! so in future I'll try to remember!

[@RofieeTwo]

@@tommy-boy I had no idea or probably forgot that they eat rice with a fork in the UK. I went to secondary school in Farnborough (Hampshire county). Folks here in the U.S. eat their rice with forks as well. I certainly like the Malaysian style better, as it makes a lot of sense. Most rice dishes comes with some sort of gravy or could be soupy. You can't scoop that with a fork and rice grains will go right through a fork. So, eating with a spoon tend to be my favorite way of eating rice dishes.

[@tommy-boy]

@@RofieeTwo We use a spoon if its actual soup, but if it's a saucy meal with rice, we still mix them together and use a fork most of the time! I do completely understand using a spoon, I just often revert to what I've been used to without even thinking.

2:50 The country was never ‘owned’ by the British, it was just colonized. Anyway, safe travels to you.

[@tommy-boy]

yes exactly, no offence was meant, everything I say is unscripted and in the moment, it was simply misplaced words, thank you!

[@MnAn-hl5tl]

@ Its alright, none taken 😊

[@Eye-xg9bz]

What do you expect???

[@tommy-boy]

I didn't expect just how green it would be inside a huge city! I expected the modern buildings and colour but all combined together, it was so clean, modern and very well taken care of. It's a really nice city!

[@alleymittanderson5799]

@@tommy-boy 😊 yeah.. Most cities will squeeze in anything like building, facilities or whatsoever leaving not a single trees let alone a huge green park.

[@tommy-boy]

@@alleymittanderson5799 exactly, that's why KL was such a great surprise that the green areas are more embraced!

[@amiryazidali7659]

Saying Malaysia was owned by British, is similar to saying USA, Australia, Canada and New Zealand was owned by the British😊

[@tommy-boy]

Yes, it was explained previously that no offence was meant, nothing I say is scripted and is all completely in the moment so it was simply misplaced words

Welcome to Malaysia. Where the city never sleeps and where you'll put on the pounds!😂

Thank you very much! Definitely 😂😂😂 that's why I walk so much!

[@alantan7425]

What so special about the tall buildings, ? You can see them also in Bangkok, Jarkata, Manila and. etc.., the only special in Malaysia is the multi racial society,

[@tommy-boy]

Of course you can, but they're still very modern big buildings next to a huge forest, it's the city in general which is amazing. Bangkok, Jakarta and Manila I also love as they have their own qualities

[@azharidris7092]

you have to be careful with your word.. you need to be more careful with your basic history.. the word own by the British is insulting.. Malaysia was a British protectorate.. the wording was used and incorporated to rectified a circumstance in history.. Malaysia was never a primitive monkey state to be own.. or bought and sold..

[@tommy-boy]

[@RofieeTwo]

@tommy-boy: Malaya, before it became Malaysia, was a British protectorate due to its collaboration between the British government and the Sultans (hereditary rulers of multiple states in Malaya). The British later persuaded former British colonies (Sabah, Sarawak, Brunei, and Singapore) to join the Federation of Malaya. Brunei declined, while the other colony states joined to become the Federation of Malaysia in 1963 (6 years after Malaya gain its independence). Due to political tension and disagreement between the Singapore's state government and the Federal government in Kuala Lumpur, regrettably, Singapore was cast out of the Federation to become its own independent republic just a few years later. Fortunately, Malaysia independence from the British was achieved through peaceful negotiation instead of violent protest or war - which is actually quite cool.

[@tommy-boy]

@@RofieeTwo thank you! Yes peaceful is always better!
