[@zirazahar]

It’s great your channel start to pick up in Malaysia but please don’t take advantage of the people’s kindness. Malaysians are known to be kind and give something out of sincerity. However, i need to put this out as i’ve seen many westerners only tend to receive and boast about how they are being treated kindly as if they are entitled. I’m happy to see you enjoy Malaysian’s hospitality but unfortunately, I visited western countries and don’t receive warm treatment as a foreigner unless they see I have money (wearing brands, etc.). I hope you learn something from Malaysians and practice it as your life values. It’s common sense to give back when you receive kindness. It’d be nice to see if you contribute/ giving something back to the Malaysian community. I know Malaysian’s will never ask for you to reciprocate BUT they will certainly appreciate if you do. All the best in your future videos 😊

[@benfishermin]

Sorry to hear you were treated well in my country. Typically Americans are quite friendly, I guess it depends which area you went to as well, usually people don’t care too much if you’re in designer clothing unless in the rich parts of Los Angeles or something. I already have similar values as I always reciprocate kindness by being kind as well. Even if someone is not so friendly I tend to be friendly anyways, so they will hopefully learn from the situation 😁

Rooftops restaurants. basically food round the world you can find in KL. Amazing. these however cut short myself having to explore KL myself. see what i like, google, and go to that place. moreover, weather now is so hot and not that healthy myself, watching newcomers to malaysia is a pleasure for me. do explore rural area in west coast and east coast of peninsular malaysia. we also have east malaysia sabah n sarawak.

[@azlirusli9630]

When I said make friends in the last comment on your video, what I meant is try to interact with some local people when you buy food or something like that. And try to pick up some basic malay words like apa khabar (how are you). It will make your journey in Malaysia a lot easier and fun. Malaysians love that. It shows your efforts. We can understand your english but many are afraid to talk back because we rarely have an American or english speaking friend. Try to talk in very basic english and slowly because they can't pick up what you are saying. Good luck.

You get more fan base if you vlog about the peninsula Malaysia. It also depends on what your fans love. I remember one vlogger saying he had to cut short his travel in Sabah because he noticed his vlogs about Sabah didn't get many viewing. Then again... it depends on your content. With regard to tattoos... Sarawak (and Sabah) has tattoo culture - traditional tattoos, that is - as compare to the peninsula. If you want to explore those... maybe hop over during the Rainforest World Music Festival (RWMF) to get in touch with other tattoo artists (if you're interested) and see where it will take you.

[@benfishermin]

Yea you're right, I notice videos from vloggers in Borneo don't get the same kind of views. It's a bit far and can be pricey to go there, and then to fly one place to another once there. I will go for sure because I'd like to experience it, but those are the reasons I have stayed in peninsular malaysia so far.

[@bungaialoevera]

@@benfishermin, if your goal is to build your fanbase, maybe you shouldn’t bother with Sabah & Sarawak. But if your goal is to truly immerse yourself further in Malaysian cultures… then you’ll experience something different than what you find in the peninsula. From our traditional indigenous food to our traditional costumes, histories, languages, the longhouses, traditional festivities… to name a few things. And that’s not even talking about the natural environment, wildlife… Maybe go when you don’t have to think of building a fanbase.

Sabah , Sarawak is a different dermographa and culture. Very different from the peninsula. Mostly tribesmen , from I don't know how many tribes. Then there's the sea gypsies , Dayak Laut (Malays I believe , I really don't know.) who lives on the seas. There's a lot of Asli's here in West Malaysia , if you know where to look.

Most Malaysians are super friendly but they are shy too,.

[@benfishermin]

Yea I sense this for sure, I am honestly the same way

[@Inceldetector6144]

Betul kebanyakan orang malaysia sangat mesra ramah tapi mereka pemalu skit🤭

[@TheWizcakes]

@@benfisherminthey are shy and do not want to be intrusive but when they are approached, they will surely come and be of help to you.

Your story is very interesting.. like an adventurer i tried to imagine if i can be as brave as you take the risk to travel with low financial .. i think it is possible if you have a will.. and you made it.. keep faith until you reach your goal.. your journey is interesting

[@benfishermin]

It’s much better if you can save a bit for sure, to avoid stress, but if you just make the move it really does force you to make it work, and will motivate you to put in the work needed. Thanks!

I think you should try kampung life. maybe reach out tu other malaysian youtuber, be friends with them, and tell them you like to experience kampung life for few days.

[@leowheng9372]

Try kampung life ? Easy take the cheap homestays , 2 days ? ; at places with no daily iteranery , eat home cooked. If you like durian , don't check for the season , gives you a rough idea , though. (we locals would check if they're falling where we intend to go.) If it's not near famous durian farms , I expect you to get a few fruits for free. Anywhere on the peninsula. Hamada86 , what do you think ?

I have been living in the US for 37 years... I never contemplated leaving until recently. The US is unstable political, and economic. Your videos are a big help. you seem to be a genuine person. i miss Americans like u. Something big went wrong. this is not good for America. We started to turn on each other

[@benfishermin]

Thanks for your donation and sharing your story. America felt like a great place when I was growing up. I only started to feel like I truly wanted to leave in the past 5 or so years. I started to feel more and more disconnected from people around me. Like you said people are really against each other, it's a shame.

[@AbuSous2000PR]

@@benfishermin ur a good man... it was our loss for Americans that u left...cheers from southern California...and best of luck🖐

[@khairulshahid]

Ben, i dont what is it, i dont watch long vlogs. But i do watch ur vlogs, maybe because ur honest. Some ideas, go to festive events. We got Aidil Adha soon. Or maybe ride China 144hr visa.

[@benfishermin]

That's great to hear! Thanks I need to check out Aidil Adha, where is a good place to celebrate do you think and film for something like this?

[@khairulshahid]

@@benfishermin Aidil Adha is one of the Muslim important event, not mistaken will be 15th Jun this year and last 4 days. And its is not for the faint hearted. This celebration is part of the Hajj in Mecca and one of the event is slaughtering of livestock. This to remember what happen to prophet Abraham and Ishmael. The meat will be distributed to the poor and needy. You will notice lots of animal in mosque or kampung a day before the event. I suggest go with a Muslim friend. Its not like a celebration and happy hours. Its more of a religious event, so going with someone with knowledge will make life easier.
