- Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia one of my favorite cities in the world. Today, I will Discuss why my American friend @benfishermin and I as an American, love Malaysia and why Malaysia is top travel destination in the world.
Malaysia is a Southeast Asian country occupying parts of the Malay Peninsula and the island of Borneo. It's known for its beaches, rainforests and mix of Malay, Chinese, Indian and European cultural influences. The capital, Kuala Lumpur, is home to colonial buildings, busy shopping districts such as Bukit Bintang and skyscrapers such as the iconic, 451m-tall Petronas Twin Towers.
Kuala Lumpur is the capital of Malaysia. Its modern skyline is dominated by the 451m-tall Petronas Twin Towers, a pair of glass-and-steel-clad skyscrapers with Islamic motifs. The towers also offer a public skybridge and observation deck. The city is also home to British colonial-era landmarks such as the Kuala Lumpur Railway Station and the Sultan Abdul Samad Building

Fun Fact there are 179 Malls in the Klang Valley alone [KL vicinity] and counting
Thanks for having me on the channel 🙏😀
My pleasure bro! It was fun hanging out! 😃
Ben in da housz! Nice 1 bro..walking around with Solo ✌️🤠🇲🇾
@@TravelingSoloLogs You guys should visit Japan together. It'll be cheaper if you guys were to share AirBnB.
I've watched you Ben when you first arrived in Malaysia and talking about your food preference because of your health conditions. Can't believe it's been 8 months and you're still here! Glad you love Malaysia, and hope our country will bring you prosperity and good health 😊
You're a good man, Ben
Solo is faithful and loves Malaysia, so he kept coming back, I think Solo has been vlogging about Malaysia frequently for 2 years. Ben is still getting to know Malaysia, it's people, culture. Have fun guys.
You got it right! Malaysia is a special place. 😉
actually ben live in malaysia, he have few hundred of video on his channel from malaysia
Kuala Lumpur just hit top10 in the rank of world peace index 2024 among many countries !
@@christinachee7697 wow really? Can share the link?
Are u sure?

@@JC50-joy not kuala Lumpur only. It's Malaysia (if i'm not mistaken, Malaysia top 15 before this)
Among cities or countries? KL isn't a country city-stat like Singapore is
Good duo...solo is very respectful giving lotsa chance for ben to talk and explain his views
Ben was absolutely spot on about the population in Kuala Lumpur. I can rarely find any local Malaysians there, and he's also right about how some people who look like Malaysians turn out to be Indonesian.
as a local " kuala Lumpurian", we usually dont live in KL city center😅 KL city center is a place for work & leisure, but not for living.
@@sean2206 and if you do live in the city centre you're probably rich because the apartments there are way too expensive for regular folks. And these people do not go out and about on the streets.
kalau kita tau je beza orang Malaysia dgn Indo. tapi orang luar mmg tak bole nak tau beza. sbb nampak lebih kurang.
The two have different fashion styles and that's how we differentiate but some Indonesian folks copying the local style and even the accent.
If you guys don't know Malaysians are Malays (bumiputera) as well as Indonesian Malays
Assalamualaikum solo.. we welcome good American to Malaysia.. another great duo.. ❤
Wasalam, I appreciate it! Thank you for the kind words 😃
he is muslim?
Yes, he is@@Malaysianplayer13
Thanks for introducing Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia to viewers especially the new one.. Btw, I have subscribed to both of you.. The air quality in Malaysia is still good but sometimes it is influenced or rather affected by haze coming from Indonesian burning forest. But no worries about Malaysia's fresh water quality, it is on top 3 cleanest sanitized water in the SEA (that is behind SG and Brunei).
KL is a city of contrast and obviously it's still developing but gradually KL will be an ideal city for all with a sophisticated, decent and one of the cleanest city in the world..👍🇲🇾
KL is a gem of a city!
Both u guys really become seasoned pro traveler now. Able to distinguish between the locals and migrants.
Even knows which street populated by immigrant and what not. Good job!
Thank you for watching 😃
I had a friend staying In the city centre, he is from Canada and when he came to petaling jaya, where I live, he could immediately tell the difference in the air quality from the city.
I must agree with both of you that Malaysia is the most diverse country in Asia. With Malays, Chinese, Indians, and several other minorities, our community is already varied even without outsiders. Sometimes it's impossible to tell if someone is Malaysian or not, especially if they've been here for a long time. This is because they can blend in so well, especially if they're from Asia, and they may end up looking a lot like Malaysians. It makes me think of my late Seattle-based American friend. He was sent to teach at the American International School in Kuala Lumpur. He had lived here for a long time and had many local friends. He became so proficient in Malay language and developed a local accent that it was hard to distinguish him from the rest of us just by listening to him talk. Naturally, his appearance as a white American was the only thing that set him apart from us. He married a Malaysian in the hopes of staying longer because he loved Malaysia so much. He had two children before he died. Perhaps you might talk to expatriates, a person like Andrew Taylor, who often posts his videos about his experiences on his RUclips channel, who have lived in Malaysia long enough to be well informed about this country. Persons like him might give you their candid and perceptive opinions about Malaysia rather than relying solely on first impressions, as many tourists do.
Hi Mr Solo n yr American friend @benfishermin. Love all yr previous videos tht I had missed to comment on 🤗😄. Thx for showing d always sweet n sour experiences of Malaysia especially KL. Yr best effort should be appreciated. Ben always share his positively how he lives his life in KL for now. Subscribed him after watched d collaboration. I don’t see any food session this time🙃😜. S always, happy exploring, enjoy n take care!
Thanks for the support and the kind words! Yeah haha, no food this time Meliz 😆 I hope you are doing well! 😃
@@TravelingSoloLogs 😎
Dynamic duo at work.Awsome👍👍👍
Thanks ✌️
Glad you guys come together for this video
Thanks for watching 😊
YEAYY the collaboration that i've been waiting for. TWO American living in Malaysia.
i hardly felt proud of my home country until i watched how you guys really appreciated her very much..I thank you for that
Thanks
You're awesome! Thanks so much for the support! 😃
THE AIR QUALITY IN MALAYSIA 🇲🇾 IS AMAZING I WAS IN THAILAND 🇹🇭 AND THE AIR POLLUTION WAS ANOTHER LEVEL MAN I COULD NOT BREATH
You shld try New Delhi and jakarta.
try 🇮🇩😂 haze
Hopefully things will improve
That is such nonsense. Air quality in Malaysia is plain bad.
@EGO0808 check the air quality index. It does not lie.
Solo will always be in his character..great video with Ben this time, ENJOY 🎉 bro! ✌️🤠
Appreciate you bro! Glad you enjoyed it!
Life is also very expensive in the Netherlands it’s comparable to New York. But what’s the same as Malaysia is the Netherlands is also Cultural diverse. We don’t have like the US White suburbs or Black or Asian only it’s all mixed. My neighbors are Chinese, Dutch, Korean, Moroccan, Afghan, Indonesian, Surinamese, Thai, Iranian, Colombian. That’s the same as Malaysia. And mixed raises (like me) is also very common. For Dutch people Malaysia don’t feel very different as the Netherlands. Maybe because it occupied Indonesia for over 500 years. And halal food is also very easy to find here. But I love Malaysia. As a Muslim myself I want to live in a Muslim country 😊 I travel twice a year to KL. I miss it every day.
KL is a special city! 😁
As a Dutchman originally from Amsterdam, but residing in KL for the last 6 years, I can say that these views on The Netherlands are incorrect. Amsterdam Bijlmer neighbourhood is 95% black, Amsterdam Osdorp and Amsterdam Slotermeer are 95% Moroccan and Turkish, Amsterdam Zuid being the wealthy neighbourhood is 100% white.
Nice conversation going on Malaysia truly 😊
Yes it was!
Great to see you guys on video again 😅
Wow Solo and Ben both my fav you tuber . I am very happy to watch both of you collaborating in this video.
Thanks, I'm glad you enjoyed it! 😉
We appreciate the time and effort you put into making this video it shows spice everything nice, that’s KL
My pleasure and thank you 😃
Great content. Thanks Solo. 👍👍👍😍😍😍
Appreciate the support!
damn my two favorite American RUclipsrs together!
Glad to see both of you working together in order to create your vlogger's content. The area with old buildings near TRX is called Imbi, in which a lot of foreign & illegal workers located...most probably it will be developed into a more commercial area in the near future...KL always keep on changing its surrounding to compete to be the best city in the world..😊
Thanks for watching, I appreciate your insights!
Hi Solo...love your content.Love both of you.Thank you for promoting Malaysia to the world.How I wish Chris collaborate with both of you.Cools and cheers.
Thanks for watching! Hopefully in the future he can join us
Every topic with both of you show us is just a unique experience.
The shacks you saw in the midst of TRX is called 'kongsi' in Malaysia. These are the living quarters of the construction workers at the project. They will remain there until full completion of the project after which they will be demolished and the site is beautified accordingly.
im glad that you are able to recognize who local and not.
Happy to see you guys collab
Nice content bro. Two travellers (content creator) at work 👍🏼
Malaysia welcome both of u here…❤
Glad you enjoyed it! 😁
Your dialogue is awesome. Brings up more details and perspectives than monologue. Well done guys.❤❤❤
Glad you enjoyed it! 😉
I'm a Malaysian, born and raised mostly in KL. But now settle down and lives in Ipoh. It's been 12 years we move away from KL. Just to get away from the hectic big city. I should take my family here someday. Thanks for the video Solo and Ben.
Ipoh is a great city! I hear good things about it.
@TravelingSoloLogs yup. Less skyscrapper here. Less traffic jammed. No tolls. Less busy. Good food. Surrounded by hills and mountains. Near to Pangkor Island. Perfect place to laid back. The only high buildings here is the apartment or condominium 😂
Hi Solo...love your content.Love both of you.Thank you for promoting Malaysia to the world.How I wish Chris collaborate with both of you.Cools and cheers.Dynamic duo at work.AwsomeGreat content. Thanks Solo
My pleasure to promote this beautiful country! Hopefully in the future Chris could Join 😃
Salaam! omg you both are collaborating! ben is also my fave utuber beside you!
Wasalam, You're the best!
Great video for the collaboration with Ben.
For you guys' info ,there is a promotion on buffet lunch at Yuanlaosi hotpot, Tropicana Gardens Mall for Rm58.90 plus each in Nov from 12-4 pm on weekdays. It is a great deal if you are a beef lover too.
What a wonderful video. Glad to see you Solo with Ben again making a good content for a video. Beautiful TRX Exchange Mall rooftop garden.
According to my friend QueenDC from Washington DC, the founder of Shake Shack is from her hometown, St Louis, MO.
Thanks again!
@@TravelingSoloLogs 😀
TRX stands for Tun Razak Exchange and Tun Razak was the 2nd Prime Minister of Malaysia (1970 - 1976)

@@vibnwis So what? I don't give a s*** on that fact.
20 years living in KL and finally I moved to Kuantan. Far from the noise of the city. Life is calm again. Here I no longer have to think about traffic jams every day. The river and the sea are not far from home. Healing on the beach every week is the best thing
Its good to see Ben in your video
I've been to the US. It was a Summer. Mannn..the heat was "sizzling". Being a typical S.E Asian, i used an umbrella. A White man found it hilarious and asked me why i used it. I looked at him shirtless basking in the heat of the Sun. And i replied.."bcos i don't want the heat to suck up all the moisture in my body..else i would end up having wrinkled, freckled, leather skin like yours". The Summer in the US is literally an Oven. The closest description is like being in a dry Sauna. In Malaysia..when it's hot, it's like being in a Steam Room.
I stayed till the Winter to experience it...i couldn't wait to go home. I'd take Malaysia's hot Climate anytime.
The hot climate and sunny is nice but I wish there were more seasons 😃
@TravelingSoloLogs
Malaysia does have 4 seasons. Hot, very Hot, Rainy and Very Rainy 😆
*Asian have more brilliant ideas that r why thete are so many stuffs turn 2 b 4 in 1 😂 *Malaysia tetap di hati*
@@TravelingSoloLogstravel to the highlands of Malaysia to experience some what temperate climate
Thank you guys for the content 😊
Appreciate you watching!
Maylasia may not throw toxic crap in all their foods. Unlike some other countries. Makes a big difference.😮
Malaysia has a lot of international countries so it's probably the same
awww so nice to see these two Americans finally connect. There should be American Digital Nomad club! I will join when I come to live there, ha ha!
Best Duo American RUclipsr...You're amazing man's...Thank's for welcoming to Malaysia...Even you're foriegner but we make's you're like family's....Malaysia still loving you✌🇲🇾🇺🇸✌
Malaysia is truly amazing! Glad you enjoyed the video.
I can see that Ben now knows more about KL, especially on his points about the migrant workers. Great observation 👍
I'm really enjoying all your videos 😊 Hope you get higher views and more subscribers to 🤲
@@damasdiamond8341 thank you so much!
Good job guys. Very interesting video by showing some of the good and not so good places in KL. I must say that a lot of tourists can’t really differentiate between the locals and the migrant workers and this video makes an excellent explanation about that. There are probably 4 or 5 million migrant workers in Malaysia and a vast majority of them do work in KL
Glad you enjoyed it! It's important to be aware of the differences in KL.
It's wonderful to meet a fellow compatriot halfway across the world, two of you
Terbaik Ben, gua support lu brada.
MERDEKA means FREEDOM,,,,MERDEKA SQUARE IS FREEDOM SQUARE
Skylines are nice but show nature.😮
Solo such a good tour guide and spokesperson lah. ❤
That is why KL known by most foreigners tourist from USA UK AUS..AFRICA EUROPE as NYC of ASIA..due to so many foreigners workers and as multicultural city IN ASIA..and of cost a variety of foods from country such Korea.Thailand..Syria..Palestien..vietnam..Japan..and many more..thank you for you guys always thinking positive about MALAYSIA...especially KL so have a nice and good day had..#loveyouguys
Good collaboration U guys.👍👍👍
The walkabout at the migrant filled humble neighbourhood at the end of the video is interesting to watch. The contrast to the surrounding shiny skyscrapers is incredible.
Yeah, such a difference
Declaration of independent was sign in Malacca. It was call Independent Square because the clock struck for the first time on the night of 31 August, 1957. Since then we celebrate Independent Day from the British, in that particular area. The site of Merdeka 118 was a Merdeka Stadium where people gathering for independent on the morning of 31 August 1957. By the way, the shape of the building also commerate of the first Prime Minister of Malaysia.
Malaysia is best for value in every thing.
This was really insigtful!
You want parties, go to Thailand.
You want peace, mostly come to Malaysia. Welcome boys.
Haha, both countries have both 😅
Nice content.. 👍
Thanks for watching!
Hi Ben..enjoy Malaysia 🇲🇾 Ben 💪🥰🎉
Had d weather been cooler n less humid even to born n bred locals, dis country would be heaven on earth! I m looking forward to moving in to TRX Residence by December for a good slice of luxury living haha.
The TRX is a great location to live! Good choice 😉
Very good video ❤
Glad you enjoyed it!
15:19 Pleasantly surprised that both of you have this insight on Malaysia. Yes, Malaysia is host to a large number of migrant workers from Indonesia, Bangladesh, India, Pakistan, Nepal, Myanmar... to name a few countries. In 2019 when he was the Prime Minister, Tun Mahathir said there were more than 7 million foreign/migrant workers in Malaysia. That's a very high number equivalent to 22 percent of the country's population and 42 percent of the country's workforce. They are usually engaged in so called 3D (Dirty Dangerous Difficult) jobs that locals tend to shy away.
Kuala Lumpur or Malaysia is second to Singapore in terms of development in South East Asia. Infact, Singapore is a part of Malaysia for 3 years after independence from the British.
Awesome great content thanks for sharing.
Thanks for watching!
omg it's Ben!
Yeah, i know him, also subscribed to his channel
Already subscribe from sabah
You are right about many migrant workers in KL. There are overwhelming migrant workers everywhere in KL.
They do a lot of hard jobs in KL
😊😊 Thats right, i do think Ben had hooked by those Nasi,,,
You both always talks positive remarks about KL.
KL is amazing! 😊
Nice collaboration guys 🙂👍👍👍
Glad you enjoyed it! 😁
Great vlog and review ❤. Do more collaborations with other US friends who are in Malaysia. Maybe start a club since there’s so few of you guys😉 compared to other nationalities. It can be like a challenge finding them and will be really fun content 😊.
That's a great idea!
@ Glad you agree. @ChrisNomaly is a newbie American vlogger in KL maybe you can give him some tips. Recruit to the club😻.
Am glad you like Malaysia 💙❤
Malaysia is awesome! 😉
@@TravelingSoloLogsYeah, Sabah, land below the wind also in Malaysia, very beautiful place to visits..you should come here and Explore it😊
Green plus mega tower in one city.. This is role model to build the city... Do it before it to late after there no place for greenery...
Welcome to MALAYSIA❤ sir....
It's nice to see bot of you together nice 👍 vlog Bro Malaysiaku
Glad you liked it! 😁
Sorry 2 hear about ur autoimmune condition, Ben. I had the same issue-psoriasis-but idk y, it’s gone now. It was a horrible experience cuz the skin on my upper neck got rashes, and it really lowered my confidence when getting a haircut there.
That sounds rough, sorry you had to go through that!
Nice to hear that it's gone now, a lot of times it's caused by diet!
May I know how do u overcome it?
of cause, USD 1 = RM4.7, things was extremely cheap. btw hope you enjoy here at Malaysia
Wow Ben X Solo
KL is built upon older buildings hence you can see the contrast of the newer ones as well as the runned down ones in the same vicinity. Unlike in Dubai for example the downtown area was built from a clean sheet. For example the KLCC area, sadly there were several beautiful old mansions that were demolished.
Also in Dubai for example (as well as Singapore), they built special housings away from the city centres (labour camps, dorms in Singapore) for their blue collar foreign workers. Hence you don't see them so much.
Thanks for sharing your points
Good information
Thanks! I tried to be as informative as possible.
Our Malaysia 🇲🇾 .. Independent Day Dãte 31 August 1957. Merdeka Day .
31 Aug 1957 is Malaya independence.
Federation of Malaysia is formed in 16 Sept 1963 after Sabah and Sarawak join in.
we would rather be underrated, undiscovered and live quietly, peacefully. Its nice that foreigners appreciate us but we have this concept of "barokah" or blessed. it means despite something is less or moderate we will feel "more", feel happier, feel abundant, and happiness becomes affordable. That only happens when u live as a good person, good to your family and neighbors and Allah is please with u. Malaysia has always helped its neighbors , look at the number of immigrants working happily here.. Be respectful, dont be arrogant and u will be welcome.
Thanks for sharing your perspective on this!
Enjoying this video.
Amazing!
Waiting for your next Country 😮
Thanks for watching, stay tuned for the next adventure! Coming soon Ibrahim 😉
Both of you are like Petronas twin towers. Awesome content and collabration, i am amazed. Make more ya.
Those shacks are temporary for the workers of buildings under construction. Enjoy your stay. Malaysia is diversity.
17:09 local Malaysian kids prefer to work part time in 7-11/family mart/CU/speedmart etc, fast food chains & malay/chinese/thai/family-owned restaurants & businesses. not all are foreigners. but once they finish uni/high school, they'll move on to better paying jobs. my KKmart hires locals from around the area, and we're only 10 minutes from KLCC. mamaks usually hires a lot of foreigners no matter where the location are.
Ask Ben if he had visited Genting, maybe its time for u Solo to introduce him to the place. Like Chris in the previous week. Just for that pleasant climate. 😅
I think the British are the ones that made KL so green using London as an example of how the two can mix together
welcome to malaysia
Shop Assistants in the mall are locals. Their wages is comparable to the foreign labours. So no, is not that locals refuses to do hard labour jobs.
On a separate note, cool content..
The people of Malaysia is Nice right , i dont hate foreigners , we are not racist, we respect others . I am a muslim , i still cant think of living in the western countries . I want to live in a country where people care for neighbors . If neighbors are hungry , we feed them . But in the west , they feel we are terrorists , many of my friends and relatively got a used with words when they travelled in the US years ago . We were taught to be Nice to all , but the western people were taught other wise . Of course not everyone but …… you know what i mean .
Yeah definitely not everyone! If the person is educated and has manners they are usually respectful and have manners
Mantap Bossku 👍🏼
Appreciate the support bossku!
Awesome!! A vlog with Ben 😊. Did you guys plan this? 😅
Yes, we planned to meet up
