What a delightful young lady is Mia, very smart, fantastic sense of humour and adventurous ... going to Malaysia by herself it takes gumption. I wish her much success wherever she and her husband decide to settle.

[@philipmasie]

She’s so pretty and has a great sense of humor. Whoever recently married her is a lucky guy 😊

[@Music-gw4qf]

Mia's English has gotten so much better over the years, well done, good for her.

[@jackietreehorn069]

For a while she was speaking English with a British accent. Now it's gone. Hmmm

[@dave-d-grunt]

@@jackietreehorn069 she also seemed to speak English learned from regular speakers, not just school learned English.

[@koufax174]

Paul, it is actually less expensive to live in KL. Rents are less for much better apartments. Food is outstanding. There’s no comparison to Filipino food. The variety is one of the best in SE Asia. People are friendly, then again I’m a friendly and respectful person. The infrastructure is excellent. I used grab taxi and there was no problem. It’s a very walkable city. It was very easy to make friends and they were very approachable. I would agree with Mia the KL airport is a little confusing where the Grab taxi pick up. I had an excellent hotel both times for less than Phillipines. I traveled throughout SE Asia 7 counties solo very recently. Malaysia - KL and Penang are great. If definitely consider living there. The long term visa situation is in flux. There is a way though to stay for less long term. Later this year the government will decide. Thailand is my second choice. In Thailand look for local restaurants. They are cheaper, fresh and excellent. I spent less there than the Phillipines.

[@CarlWithACamera]

Currently between relationships after the last one exhibited the all too common sketchiness. And this girl Mia is exactly the reason I don't have a new gf yet; because I've determined I won't settle for less than a girl like this. Knowing there's great girls out there like this I'm just not going to stop looking until I find one matching her beauty and personality.

[@leonardmarlin4330]

Smart move. Went through 3 relationships with Filipina's before meeting my wife. Happy I never married them now. Each were much younger then me. The sex was good but we really had nothing in common. My wife is Filipina and closer to my age then any of the woman I dated before. Take your time and good luck.

[@CarlWithACamera]

@@leonardmarlin4330 yup, I tend to date in the low twenties range here, with the exception of a long relationship that was on and off due to her tendency to steal from me. She was 32 when I met her, 36 when I kicked her out last year for the fourth and final time. Age is apparently not a perfect indicator of maturity. And so I've slowed down and am much more hesitant to allow any girls to move in. At least the interviewing process is enjoyable.

[@youngandfree93]

​@@CarlWithACamera the older you are and the bigger age gap it is the more likely there will be conflicts in future. I know at 35 now typically the best age to date is around 27 to 40.

[@CarlWithACamera]

@@youngandfree93 back in my career days in the Boston area I dated separated and freshly divorced Filipinas that old guys had gone to the Philippines to marry and bring back. Never a recommended move. I was in my 30s then and contended with the two main issues that seem to infect Filipinas; either they're liars and scammers, or they're good girls but have kids. Now, at age 60, I'm finding the sane here; the honest + childless unicorns are few and far between. And the older you set your range, the more likely there will be kids in the picture.

[@youngandfree93]

@@CarlWithACamera oh most young Filipinas have Filipinos very early on as boyfriends and once they have kids the guys bail. There isn't much education in many parts of country and its why it's so overpopulated here. Finding a lady without kids can be found in Manila although she will be career oriented with very high standards. Many girls just have kids very early on. As someone who's 35 though I can't imagine being with a lady 50+ right now but maybe that's just me

It makes me think of how it made me feel when I was able to help my parents or when I would do something to make my parents proud. Both incidents happened at least once.

[@troymoses8405]

Wonderful interview with Mia, such a great sense of humor. I have a tendency to believe gossip is everywhere, you may not notice it at first while visiting a place, but once you’ve been there for sometime it will become more noticeable. As for a good steak in the Philippines, the best I’ve had is the Texas Roadhouse down by the Asian Mall in Manila. Very comparable to Texas Roadhouse here in the States. But it is pricey, because the steaks are imported from the States. Anyway thanks Paul for sharing and blessings to you and Mae.

[@johncarlson6472]

This vlog reinforces why I really like Old Dog Paul. He's so laid back. He has the perfect personality for migrating to the Phils. One of my favorite statements he made was, (paraphrasing) "the great thing about retiring from the USA to the Philippines, is not having to "show up."" LOL! So true!!

Lol I’m reading the comments …the Filipina has a strong will….they are pushed that way due to their social experiences…you guys are are so naive.

[@MalluFilipino]

I haven't gotten it for our house yet, but a Hybrid inverter with battery backup will negate the effects of brownouts (for a time depending on battery capacity, usage, etc.). It charges the batteries from the grid, and can be combined with solar power and/or generator. The inverter will automatically switch to battery whenever there's an interruption. I'm sure there are KZbin videos on the subject for anyone who's interested.

[@k9companion231]

Hey Paul, Baby Mae, Tada and Mia. Stopped following Paul and Mia when he left. Glad to hear they finally got married. I am sure they will love Thailand. Re-subbing.

You Know Paul, She Really Surprised Me When You Asked Who Were The Most Friendly People There and Her Reply Was The Japanese. I Was In Japan to Change Planes, And I Felt Like The People Were More Like Robots on a Mission. Quiet for The Most Part, But When You Did Here 1 Talk. They Talked in This Monetone Manor. No Inflection in Their Voices. Like Talking to Robots. So To Hear They Are The Most Friendly in That Area Really Threw Me

Food is great in KL , most people can speak English but traffic is a problem for pedestrian . Like Mia said, lodging is of higher quality compare to PI. And 100 ringit ( 1200 PHP ) for taxi was a major ripoff. Mia get a local sim on arrival at airport. Good luck.

Paul I can assure you that Grab in Kuala Lumpur is very effective and inexpensive. Two of us paid about $13 US to go from an airport hotel to city center which is a 50-minute drive by freeway. They are tollways but the Grab driver paid each one and they are very efficient and not crowded. Really enjoyed KL and plan to spend a month or so there next winter from Arizona.

[@jlang7777]

BTW Grab can be put on an auto charge on your credit card and I took 5 minute rides in Langkawi and I'd see a .95 charge a few hours later. Crazy how inexpensive in Malaysia! Plus food is extremely reasonable with a lot of Farang food in the city center. Rooftop dining on the 34th floor was less than $40 for two for a 3 course dinner with huge city (skyscraper) view. Very safe in the city, always was comfortable.

[@richardhaughton4303]

It’s a wonderful country, my advice take 400 Ringets in smaller denominations, there are local banks, your ATM will not work and the international banks. The airport is 1 hour 15 minutes away from the city. Follow the taxi signs and then you’ll have a hassle free start. The Malay people are so gracious, but being a Muslim country Baby May will have to dress appropriately, I was there in March, fabulous 😊

Kuala Lumpur has a lot going for it, I liked the food, great transportation system, better cost of living(for me) than the Philippines but I found that the people didn’t speak English as well as advertised and weren’t as friendly as I was expecting.

I think this is a win win all around. maybe one day you two can have your spouses on too. All four of you, maybe just video of a double date with you 4 asking questions about life and comparing the funny things filipina have to deal with having older white guys, and the men having to deal with these filipina, hahaha.

Bless her she had a nightmare we shouldn't laugh but it was so funny. It must be quite intimidating for a lone female traveller. Keycards can be a nightmare. I booked into a hotel in London checked in got the card to open the room door didn't work. Went to reception with my luggage 3 times for replacement cards and instructions like I was an imbecile. In the end I said "get me the duty manager" explained the problem to her and said you come and open the door. She couldn't do it with my keycard or her master pass card. The maintenance guy got the door open the room hadn't been serviced so the cleaners couldn't get in. We went back to reception she said to the receptionist "mark the room as blocked pending repair and give the gentleman another room." Receptionist said "sorry the only rooms available are superior it's £45 a night more." I was due to do a job at a nearby hospital who use the hotel regularly and had recommended it so I called the admin team explained the situation. They said "go get a coffee we'll resolve it and call you back." I had about 2 sips of the coffee when the duty manager found me apologised gave me a new room key. Got a call from hospital admin 10 minutes later to check everything was ok. "I said yes that was quick what did you say to them?" "Just reminded them how much business we do with them!"

[@djakobi1]

Hi Paul. I spent 3 years (2019 - 2022) in Malaysia for work but am a PR (10 years) in Philippines. Malaysia is definitely a bit more expensive than Philippines but you get quality in Malaysia. If you into street food Malaysian street food is way better than street food than here. KL is a very multi ethnic and diverse city and as with all large Metro cities has its shady side. Travelling around KL has a pretty good metro system, buses are there and if needed then obviously the ride schemes like GRAB is readily available just make sure you use authentic GRAB not the con drivers. Metered cabs are also available. Because Malaysia is an oil producing nation fuel is cheap so that helps to make public transport pretty cheap. Infrastructure in KL and all of Malaysia (West and East) is of 1st world standard, telecoms is very good, internet is fast and stable but as like Manila or any major city in Philippines traffic is a nightmare. West Malaysia has a reasonable Chinese population but also a big Indian population as well as indigenous Malay population but East Malaysia (Borneo) has a far greater Chinese percentage of population. Please bear in mind that Malaysia is a Muslim country, whilst alcohol is sold and can be consumed in public there are still some fairly strict laws related to alcohol. 1 Malaysian Ringgit = 12 Philippines Peso so Peso's don't go very far. If you have time and get a chance head up to Cameron Highlands which is Malaysia's equivalent of Baguio. Enjoy the trip buddy.

[@darrylk808]

100 MR is about $21.00. KLIA is about 45minutes away from KL. Normally it's less than $20 to get into town, depends on time of day. You will love KL. I've been many times. It's one of my favorite SE Asian cities. The food!😋 Everyone except taxi drivers are super nice. Use Grab, or choose a Muslim taxi driver (hat), but you don't always get a choice. That's where I would retire. Now Mia is a more seasoned traveler. Everyone gets scammed once. Thankfully it's usually only a couple bucks. You can get a hotel for $35-$50/night, but if you really want a treat stay at the Ritz Carlton for $140/night, beautiful experience. That's a motel price here in the US.
