- Hi guys! Today we take another adventure and using the public transit system isn't as easy as we thought. We got lost and found it very confusing, but the city BELOW the city, was VERY impressive! We ended up.......FINALLY getting to our destination, the botanical gardens! Thank you to the subscriber who recommended we go because it was BEAUTIFUL!

Lanz..... YOU GOT IT! We got an adventure 🤣🤣🤣
@@wattstraveling once you understand, you will say its easy... like everyone else

Check out this link! 👍
There's a malay that goes like this "malu bertanya sesat jalan" which literally translates to "shy from asking and you will lose your way" ...please just dont be afraid to ask
We DID ask..... that's how we got back on track! 👍 There's nothing wrong with trying to figure it out on our own FIRST....?
@@wattstraveling Good for you...enjoy your journey...
@@wattstravelingya.. you have to try first...
Always enjoy your channel. Appreciate the budget videos because it gives a realistic idea of what to expect. Also down to earth travel is easier to relate to. a seperate video about the serious stuff like dollar and cents of travels are appreciated. thanks and enjoy travelling !!
Hey 👋 Thank you for that! I totally agree with you, down to earth travel IS relatable! Thank you for watching, makes my happy you enjoy our channel!
I live in Los Angeles. Been to Malaysia almost 20 times. I love this place. Anyway, I watch you too. I watch because you are very funny, lighthearted and have levity with things around. Your husband is pretty serious. I love people like you. It’s nice to be surrounded with entertaining person such as you. The best to you both.
Hello L.A. 👋 This made me laugh out loud...."my husband is very serious".... you're telling me! 🤣🤣🤣 I keep telling him to loosen up! 🤣🤣 thank you for your feedback and kind words, made my day! 👍❤️
I really like your adventures; am partly Malaysian and agree 100% with what you say here
Happy to hear I'm not the only one! Lol thank you for watching! 😁
Thanks for sharing lake perdana, this motivate me to do my nx morning walk
Happy to help! Now get out there! 🤣🤣🤣
Love the channel :) very real which is awesome !
Awe, thanks Mary! ❤️
That KL sentral station is massive so I don’t blame u for getting lost! We are a fam of 5 so it was cheaper + easier to take a grab to the botanical gardens
Thank you! ❤️
Nice. Drone shots are nice, too.
Thank you! Appreciate your feedback
@1:49... Ironically, the malls (i.e massive development) are the one that caused growing hot weather in Malaysia. In the old days it was not like today. Plenty of greens with tall trees that give us shades and cool breeze whizzing through them. When you replace the green jungle with concrete jungle, this is what we get.
@9:58 Awww come on girl... don't give up too easily. It's an adventure. 1st cut is always the deepest. The next time it's gonna be easy peasy.
There's always a price to pay for things being done, good or bad.
I was there 2 months ago and it was a bit too hot for me unfortunately. Love the city, the people and the food. Went to a pub somewhere in Bukit Bintang and they even bought me a beer 😂 Nice vids guys. Happy travels and stay safe
Hi Barry 👋 Yes, it's really hot indeed.... almost too hot! Thanks for watching! ❤️
Your channel is very calm and positive, I love the vibe and you guys earn yourself a sub.
Awe, thank you so much! I must admit it's not always calm or positive 🤣🤣🤣 especially when we can't navigate the transit system 🤣🤣... but I'll always share our REAL experiences! thank you so much for subscribing ❤️
your video at 23:15 show building that are next to KL Sentral. if you exit the MRT at Muzium Negara, you could actually walk into the back entrance of the botanical garden at the end of the lake.
Ooh, good old Google failed us again! 🤣🤣
Google did that to us when we left KLCC park for the aquarium, it took us to busy intersections for a few blocks when we could have just entered thru a mall beside the park 😂 now we know! 😅
Botanical garden is next to kl sentral. Near the national museum
We FINALLY found it! 🤣🤣🤣 it was so pretty waking around, loved it!
it just a 5 minutes walk back to Sentral from that ice cream stalls.. OMG.. there are dozens of entrance to the park.. you've chosen the furthest entrance possible.. the local fill up the park in the evening.. too hot in the afternoon.. only mad dog and English men goes out in the mid day sun.. at the main KL Sentral terminus you could have your lunch at little India.. there are one or two Michelin recommended place in little India if i'm not mistaken.. for a fractions of the price they scam unexpected tourist in Jalan Alor.. you should checkout Bangsar neighbourhood if you have the time.. or checkout ''One Utama Mall'' at TTDI.. really good food for very little at their food court in AC comfort.. i think one outlet do Canadian poutine.. not sure if its still there.. go there before you go to Hanoi or Saigon..
Thanks for the recommendation! The park was HUGE.... and beautiful 😍 thank you for watching our craziness of not knowing where to go! Lol
Very true. Such a long journey.
Wow tnx great for me when I visit in August 😊
@@yummemys4608 have a great trip!
Awesome guys 👍✌️👌👍✌️✌️👍👍👍👍❤️✌️✌️🌟🌟⭐🌟
Thank you! 👍👋😁❤️🤣
Enjoy your trips in Malaysia guys....wish you safe and God bless you always
Awe, thank you! 😊
That's interesting..who would have ever imagined a baobab trees in KL botanical garden..i guess even people in Malaysia didn't know it planted over there 😂
Because they are native to Madagascar 🤣🤣
That's very kind of you, have a happy and wonderful travelling all the way! Awesome and Amazing。。
Thank you so much! ❤️
Truthfully, it s easy. Used Grab. Ask local or customer service. Salute for your determination in searching your destination by your own. Love your smile n positive attitude.
Awe, thank you Mas! But next time GRAB 💯 🤣🤣
Just ask for directions when you're lost in Malaysia. It's free, and the locals will be happy to do so or ask someone in uniform at the station. 😊
Hey there Nick! 👋 Yes, we found a lovely man that got us back on our way! 👍
Have fun traveling guys and safe travels. I wish to travel like you guys someday too, wish me luck.
Hi there 👋 Thank you so much! Good luck on your future travels..... just remember you don't have to go to exotic places to feel like you're traveling...... anywhere new and close by will give you the same feeling! 👍❤️
@@wattstraveling Can you guys do video on how you guys save up and what you guys work as before retirement etc? How much it cost per month to travel full-time. I need an idea on how to save up and the costs of traveling.
@TeleeFONE we've done a few videos of our budgets in different areas like Thailand and Peru we might do one for Malaysia too! 👍 S for saving money, we basically have worked our whole life the the biggest savings was not having kids! 🤣🤣🤣
When u are lost..thats means u exploring😂
You are 100 PERCENT correct! We got an adventure all right! 👍🤣
Free adventure 😃😃😀
Actually, KL is not a big city compared to other cities out there, but the new facilities intergrated makes u both small there to go the right destinations.. but, in Malaysia u have not to worry asking anyone around, especialy the Auxiliary Police who are on duty in every corner of the area... Anyway, a long journey is a wide experience as long as you have time to have fun..
And FUN we had! We actually ended up asking someone and they directed us to the right area! 👍
From mrt pasar seni u no need go to kl sentral u can just walk to kuala lumpur train station
Yeah, it was an adventure 🤣🤣
Juz next to the Botanical garden u can explore TAman Tugu and have the REAL JUNGLE tracking there with 5km long..
Oh we had an adventure... with lots of steps! 🤣🤣
@@wattstraveling i thought with alot of snake or scorpions.. hehe ok2
@@swordsoundentertainment7486 🤣🤣🤣
Mr. Google and Maps are not always right. They're quite confusing sometimes. Don't be shy. Ask the locals.Malaysians are mostly friendly.
We DID! we got some good directions and some not so good directions! 🤣🤣
I was as confuse as you when first time using metro station at Los Angeles last time 😂
Lol..... guess it's just something to learn.... this is going to take some time! 🤣🤣
Taman Botani KL or KL Lake Garden is KL version of Central Park.
It was really pretty 😍
Its a good learning experience as i face the same situation before. Every country the rail srevice is different 😊
Thank you..... makes me feel better knowing we aren't the only ones 🤣🤣
@@wattstraveling Have you been to Langkawi island, Perhentian island, Tioman island, Cameron Highlands, state of melaka , Penang both are listed as unesco world heritage site. I understand you'll be heading to vietnam in a day or two . If you have not visit this place , do come back againI . I know everyone has a budget on what we spend. . Will subscribe to your channel now.
@AlanKangBanMeng-sv5en hi there! 👋 Yes, we've been to Cameron Highlands, Perhentian island, Ipoh, Melaka, Port Dickson, Kelantan, Terengganu, Putrajaya, Sabah..... we are saving Penang and Langkawi for next time! 👍 We've done videos on all these places, check em out! ❤️ thanks for the subscribe
@@wattstraveling Oh Wow , good to know . Stay safe and enjoy your travels.
U shud use grab more convenient to places of interest after stepping down frm mrt,lrt etc😊
Good plan! I think we'll stick to grab! 🤣🤣🤣
@@wattstravelingthe reason why google shows complicated pedestrian route is because the whole area is surrounded by 4 lane highways.
@fittrege2778 ohh man we were so confused... even with some of the signage.... it's not so straightforward to me! 🤣🤣
When using google maps, always turn on satelite view cause the landmarks can be easily identified using google maps. The building in the maps can help you to navigate the direction
👍 good idea!
Good Video, so happy to hear you're going to Da Nang, will you please do a food shopping video with food prices equivalent to Canadian prices. Will you do smaller city tours that are clos by Da Nang as possible retirement locations? I also wonder about pricing for medication diabetes med pricing (metformin, insulin) and hospital facilities.
Ba Na Hills are close to Da Nang, and the videos i have seen it looks like a German hilltop town amusement park It has the golden bridge that looks like hands are holding it up. also one of the longest cable car rides in the world.
Phu Quoc Vietnam is an island in the bay of Thailand and it has a resort area that looks like you're in Europe.
Have a fun safe adventure.
All of it! I CAN'T WAIT! love your channel name! 😁
.... and, we appreciate your feedback!
Well, it's not so easy to get to the Botanical Garden except by the Hop on Hop off Tourist Bus or by Grab of course. You both headed to to the right station though at Muzium Negara, where you should've disembark there and walk through the museum area pass the pedestrian bridge into the Botanical Garden.
Lol, once we got off the train I felt like we were stuck at the station..... we didn't know where the exit was! 🤣🤣
Omg .. it's excruciating watching you guys try to navigate. It's actually quite easy (well it does seem complicating but in actuality it's not at all). My first time, I just stop n ask the locals at each station n they're absolutely so helpful n informative. It's just mind boggling why didn't you guys try that at all. Malaysian are known to be the most friendly n warm people.
Jfyi .. they hv Monorail (serves intercity), LRT (light rail transport serves city to suburban KL city n outer ring 1 & 2), MRT 1(Mass Rail Transport 1 serves city, outer ring 3 all the way to outer ring 4), KTM (KT Commuter is actually the original rail system that serves from the city to Outer ring to far flung suburban reaches of Greater KL).
I found KL rail system efficient altho can be quite intimidating for the uninitiated but with help of locals it's really a cinch to navigate.
I hope you get to visit the bird sanctuary, butterfly garden n deer park in vicinity of the botanical garden you're headed to. But best time is visit these places in the mornings... it's really vy pleasant experiences. My kids just loved it and enjoyed it all!
Yes, having 4 modes of transportation, is all very overwhelming! And WE DID ask someone.....I said it right on the video! 🤣🤣 that's how we got back on track 👍 the botanical gardens was beautiful 😍
in Malaysia, just ask any locals for directions to locations and , they'll be glad to help, better then directories
We DID!....said it in the video! 👍🤣🤣
Where are you from? Please come to visit Sabah and Sarawak in east Malaysia. It's a nice place to visit island of Borneo.
We just can't back from Sabah! It was AMAZING
Mrt KL has multiple branches, and if you are unfamiliar with them, it will be difficult if you need to connect to another station.😅
It was tricky.... but we got an adventure and got to see a few stations too! 👍🤣🤣
Google always confuse the heck out of us. Just ask locals for direction, I'm sure some of them knows.
Right, geesh! We did ask that's how we got back on track! 👍
Heard the subtle accent and realised you guys are Canadian, not American. Welcome. Im still hoping for a Tim Hortons in KL😂
🤣🤣🤣 Tim Hortons, eh? 🤣🤣
Don't get yourself confusing..the sign is well done . We watch your vlog also confuse Pls do ask the local or the staff for assistance. Have a safe journey
We DID! that's how we got back on track! 👍
it easier you ask the local or some one there..pls dont use Google maps
We did finally end up asking someone, that's how we got on the right track! 👍
Malaysia is beautiful, awesome infrastructure like any other Western country. People now moving there to live.
@a.m.9357 yes, it's a beautiful place
Dont just depends on google maps.. for me if i want to explore a new place, i will find information from other travel vlogger from youtube, tiktok, videos & read Google review of the location.
Exactly..... we do the same. We like to try and figure out just how user-friendly things are on other countries, too though, before we ask..... and when we get lost, always ask a local! 👍
@@wattstraveling yeah ask the local. Some Malaysians might be shy at first but I am sure we will help you! Btw welcome to Malaysia 😊😊 I hope you guys had your best time here🫶🏽
If you have not tried Tbilisi Georgia, I think you should put it on your list of places to visit . Good food, nice people, very European and so beautiful and affordable. You can stay for a full year too.
Hi Carol! 👋 YES!..... it's on our list! When were you there?
@@wattstraveling We are in Tbilisi at the moment and will be leaving for Kuala Lumpur on the 6 of June. We have been here since Feb 26 and have enjoyed every minute of it. I forgot to mention that the city is also very clean and you can also drink the water. We are also looking for a place to retire. We are from USA
@carolweekly148 ooohhh, we will just miss you! We leave Malaysia on June 2nd! Would love to pick your brain! Happy to hear you enjoyed it! Have a great time in Malaysia 👍
❤❤❤ from malaysia
Hello 👋 thanks for watching! ❤️
Next time ask the local, google will misrable when we go through under ground or under bridge or multi layer road..tq
Yes, WE DID ask someone....I said it right in the video! 🤣🤣
You guys should've taken MRT from Bukit Bintang to Central Market/Pasar Seni and then walk 10 minutes to the Botanical Garden. No need to go to KL Sentral. Easy 😊
We'll just agree to disagree on the"easy" part! 🤣🤣
Muzium negara MRT Station to Botanical garden take less than 5 mins.Make sure you exit Gate B (Pintu B) The entrance to B. Garden is opposite CIMB building.You have to pass through a tunnel below the highway to reach B. Garden.
Next time......🤣🤣🤣
You are following ITTCHY Boots from netherland and she now take a long rest after accident at tanzania. Her travelling episode stopped there.
YES!..... we DO! Noraly is such an impressive lady! We love all her adventures.... she gets into some doozy situations! Poor girl, is out for an injury!..... thanks for watching!.... and we LOVE the boabab trees! 🤣🤣
oposite train direction, u need to get to the other platform..there 2 platform..
So confusing 🤣🤣🤣 what an adventure we got!
Do you mean citizenship or residency? Residency is relatively 'easy' to obtain in many countries. Citizenship is very difficult to obtain and requires a considerable investment of both time and money and is not possible in many nations.
Hi there, I meant citizenship. Yes, I understand they have different requirements some investment, some not, some time. I wouldn't say it's very difficult it's definitely doable, we just have to figure out where that is. There are lots of factors to look at for each place we are considering. We are still young enough to do it!
@@wattstraveling I did it in Turkey through real estate investment but apart from the Caribbean passports, there are no others that require just a financial commitment that I am aware of. The others require your physical presence for many years (variable)….. pls correct me if I am wrong.
@freyagrayden9851 there are some countries that only require you to be in their country for half the year or less, some countries not at all.
@@wattstraveling really? I am very interested as I’m kind of doing similar things to you but I don’t know of any except Portugal to apply for after 5 years of residency. Can you please tell me a few countries where this is possible so I can start researching? Thank you 🙏
@freyagrayden9851 you can follow nomad capitalism they are a wealth of knowledge. But Argentina peaked our interest, it's the fastest country to gain citizenship in 2 years... but then we found out about the tax laws.... there's slots to think about
Nice video💕
Thank you ❤️
ask local next time. It's easy...😅
Haha....yup! That's the best way! 😁
we, Malaysian r friendly people.. just ask!!..
@@marianasarbini and WE DID! 👍
14:21 Google Map 'Hard' difficulty setting.
I've tried duplicating your position and destination on my Google Map.
It seems that the reason was the app think that you guys were standing in the middle of the 4 lanes highway right above where you were.
Google maps definitely wasn't
co operating 🤣🤣
You were right get a Grab simples..🤣🤣
🤣🤣🤣🤣
Malaysian famous claypot rice michelin starred
Yes, claypot is very tasty 😋
Citing the 2023/2024 edition of the State of the Global Islamic Economy (SGIE) report, HDC said Malaysia secured first place in Islamic finance, halal food, and media and recreation, coupled with a commendable second-place ranking in “modest fashion”, third spot in pharmaceuticals and fifth in tourism.
AWESOME! 👍
That is the old train station
OK.... we weren't 100% sure but SO BEAUTIFUL!
@@wattstraveling that was built by the british.
@keangwooichoo6138 its very grand looking! I like the colour of the stone used
@@wattstraveling not as grand as the Mumbai India train station.
Malaysia just want you guys to figure it out yourselves, a test to your senses & brain works 😂 just take a grab lah 😂
🤣🤣🤣🤣 I feel like my brain was mush after that! 🤣🤣
you have gone wrong..should interchage from MRT to KTM at Pasar Seni MRT station..pls dont ever use KL Sentral station because u need to walk quite far
Now we know! Google maps failed us 🤣🤣
@@wattstraveling definitely yes.. not u but for local as well esp when we in walking.. hehe
@@wattstraveling our KTM also in the stage of track upgrading process.. and can contribute to late as well..
your'e right Grab is the fastest but you miss the transit experience...again ask locals literally anyone. Understandable when tourists coming from the West are usually too proud to ask...?
Oh, I wouldn't say too proud to ask, because WE DID! Some good directions others not so good!? We definitely had adventure. 🤣
Have a break, have a teh tarik and nasi lemak before browsing around in bustling cities
That's a good idea.... we should have just had lunch somewhere, sat and chilled out! 🤣🤣
🌹🐒😱🪭
👋 😁🤣
30:24 खुप सुंदर.मी तुमचा व्हिडिओ वेळ काढून बघितले.
Awe.... THANK YOU! that helps us so much, you have no idea! We appreciate that!
at least so many people speak English to help you out if lost etc.
Hi Keith! 👋 Yeah, we ended up asking where the correct platform was.... thankfully they spoke English!
If you ask anyone probably there's one who even escorted you to your destination. No obligation!
Funny, we DID ask and got some good directions and no so good directions! 🤣🤣
Ask the locals.
WE DID 👍
hi , may i ask what camera u are using ? . camcorder or hand phone type ? its so clear & nice to view . Tq .
Hi there 👋 Thank you! This video was filmed on my phone actually. Samsung S215g 👍 I just had to replace my camera(in my phone) because water got into my phone during Songkran in Thailand. Glad to know it looks clear after the repair! Thank you
malaysia you dont use map because in malaysia the map will be wrong you better ask local they will know better
Yes, as we find out! We did ask the locals..... some good directions, some not so good directions! 🤣🤣
European said.. Malaysian people's live in jungle.This's jungle European means?
Malaysia is SO DIVERSE!.....KL is maybe a concrete jungle? 🤣🤣🤣 KL is beautiful
Malaysian are most friendly people.Just ask!!! They will be happy to assist you.All you have to ASK!!!
And they understand ENGLISH as well..
Yes..... WE DID! that's how we got back on track! 👍
Simple solution ….just asking anyone to assist…most Malaysian are willingly to help !
Yes, WE DID! some directions were good..... some not so good! 🤣🤣
u have to stop using ur phone, and stop anyone to ask for directions. u moving in circles. the blind leading the blind. glad u so cool about it.
@kingkraal7928 we like to try ourselves first..... but we DID ask for directions... some were good... some not so good! Lol
Google map not accurate in Malaysia.
Guess not! 🤣🤣
Ask local guys...
We DID 👍
Its not that hard actually. Just follow the signboards and look at which platform u r on 😅.
Well just have to agree to disagree 🤣🤣🤣
Nomad Capitalist on dual citizenship, second passport and retirement visa.
We follow Nomad Capitalist! ..... ❤️ Having dual citizenship is never a bad idea 👍
U can ask local. Malaysian can speak English. Is easier for u. Malaysian is friendly 😊
👍 we did! That's how we got back on track 👣
Ah I'm sorry but Im laughing 😂😂.
Yeah, now I can look back and laugh too! 🤣🤣
Weird to see you guys happen to be at the country of the friendliest people on planet, but sadly you didn't have gut to ask people around.
We DID ask..... I say that right in the video 🤣🤣🤣 "when in doubt, ask someone" 👍
Better ask peoples rather than using google or waze etc
We DID! We got some good directions and some...... not so good directions 🤣🤣
@@wattstravelingSure if u asked the wrong person.
Kalau malu bertanya sesat jalan...
We DID ASK!.....I said it right in the video!?
If feel 2warm, go to malls toilet, yall can took bath 😊
🤣🤣🤣 honestly, I had no idea how cold it was in some parts of the underground here! Wow, impressive! 👍
Botanical garden is the place where theres no train station nearby and you chose to reach there by train. 😂😂😂. You shouldve ask the locals first.
We took the train closest to it I guess?..... next time we'll ask the locals! 👍
Muzium Negera MRT Station is just 5 mins walk to Botanical garden. There are 2 exits. Make sure you take Muzium Negera exit. The other exit take you to KL Sentral.
Your brain is clogged up with your superiority.
If you knew us at all, you wouldn't even bother taking the time to write that. Maybe our channel isn't for you if YOU think we are superior? Just move on
You confused yourself with so many signages . Tried the subway in US it's more confusing being a developed country, it's a disaster place to visit. You have two mouths to ask but you were too stubborn to ask around. Malaysian are super friendly if you only open your mouths to ask.
Never been on the US subway... good to know! And.... WE DID ask!.... that's how we got back on the right track! 👍 not stubborn.....determination 🤣
Google Maps sucks. I have faced problems using Google Map several times. I once wanted to go to a hotel in Kedah but ended up in the middle of a paddy field at night. I also wanted to go to Melaka, I was taken along the housing road and it took longer. At first I thought it might be due to jammed. But when using Wave the trip is shorter. So Waze is actually more accurate and even gives useful information whether there is an accident or a speed trap ahead.
Hey there! 👋 love your channel name 👍 yeah, we might try waze next time, to see if it works better! 👍
I was as confuse as you when first time using metro station at Los Angeles last time 😂
Guess it's something to learn..... this might take a minute! 🤣🤣
