We Were SO WRONG about Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia (So Friendly!)

Good morning everyone from the beautiful Kuala Lumpur here in Malaysia. We are very excited today because Koda is about to go in a park and Koda loves a park and we found one and it's a very beautiful park we're in actually. So we're in KLCC Park. So this is the Kuala Lumpur Convention Centre behind me and there's a whole big green space in front of it with like fountains and a kids play area green space for him to run around and honestly I don't remember Kuala Lumpur being like this. We were last here in 2019 just George and I and I have a memory of it being like a big busy hustle bustle city loads of huge skyscrapers and it being quite sort of um not grey but like I mean in terms of colours I don't I didn't remember seeing so much green and so much like green areas and trees. When we were driving from the airport it's quite a long drive from the airport to the city centre and it was about an hour of driving through palm trees beautiful big green open spaces people's houses built up on hills with amazing views and I just have no memory of that. It's not at all how I remember Kuala Lumpur being and actually we have really fond memories from last time but it's actually better than I remember being here and especially now we're going to all these amazing parks and places for Koda we're seeing even more. Oh hello darling do you want to go in the park should we find the park big step yeah which way's the park yeah let's go and this park's got an epic view of the Petronas Twin Towers as well so it's win-win. Your mummy's hand to go up the steps you're doing it on your own goodness me clever boy. And this city isn't particularly buggy friendly in the areas we've been so far in terms of just going for walk places so it's so nice to be somewhere Koda can run free and not have to worry about the roads and things it's just a nice big open space it's so cool whoa this is a very cool park mister you're gonna love it. Good morning guys I am so impressed with this short ride from the hotel and we're in like this green jungle right in the middle of the concrete jungle I'm not sure I didn't hear what Lucy was saying to you guys on the vlog I was pushing pushing the buggy flagging behind a little bit so I don't want to repeat anything Lucy said but this is so cool right in the middle of the city amazing view of the towers just poking through the trees there another beautiful day in Kuala Lumpur and I have to say we are just loving being here this time not that we weren't last time but we never saw anything like this on our previous visit and more and more we were saying to each other last night in bed I think we need to spend some more time in Malaysia this visit is not the longest this time but I think we need to come back we are uh we are back over this way in the world very very soon again 2024 I'm thinking Malaysia should maybe become a bigger part of our travel plans for 2024 comment below if you've visited if you're from here if you've gone to any other cool places we have been to Penang before and we've been to Georgetown I remember but should we maybe check out some beaches there's some beautiful places any other cities we should go to we really do not know much about Malaysia to be honest only the short experiences that we've had so far but yeah both loving it I'm in total shock by this park um normally this would be a park right there's about 20 of these next to each other one after the other all different colors all different things it's like the person that made this park said we're gonna have one of each we're gonna have one of each of the parks that exist in the world put them all in one massive green area it's insane it's massive I think if you compare this to the local park in our hometown in England where we're from yes we are from a small town but this is just crazy this is next level Koda must be in absolute heaven right now wow that looks thrilling I also feel like we're slowly getting to grips with how the city runs a little bit like booking grabs is very very easy getting around we haven't had to use the public transport we've seen like the metro train like that goes through the sky we haven't used that yet but grabs are so cheap and easy £1.50 to get here is like 15 minute journey it just seems like a no-brainer not to use grab but because we travel so often and because it's kind of our lifestyle I suppose this isn't like a vacation it doesn't feel like a holiday so we get to kind of picture what it would be like to live somewhere and this is totally different I don't think I remember last time thinking okay maybe it's because we got Koda it's kind of a different thing but you start to look at you'd start to look for different things when you've got kids so like having this park and stuff and all the shopping malls are really cool there's good coffee here it's cheap the only thing I'll say I have not found super fast internet yet which would obviously be vital for what we do with uploading videos and our content and stuff yeah the wi-fi that I've connected to has not been the fastest so I don't know if that's like a Malaysia thing Kuala Lumpur thing or if it's just my limited experience so far but yeah totally different to how we remember we were saying this for the towers for the Petronas Towers how cool is that? Last time we were here I remember standing in the middle of a really hectic busy road people beeping traffic we could barely like walk around and we were a little bit too close we're too close it's like when you're in the front row of a show and you can't quite see the stage and it was kind of overwhelming we were like oh it's because it's a tourist spot whatever but here it's like super peaceful beautiful park we're completely on our own here well that's a complete lie but as in like this here right now there's no one near us and we can just enjoy it and just super peaceful top tip it's actually really impressive stood here looking up Lucy and I are definitely city people wow look man wow I love it so cool I'm just looking at my tiny little screen on the camera that is insane such good looking towers the bridge going between them wow this is like the best position I've ever stood in to look at these cannot get enough of that okay we're gonna head into the mall now Koda's super hot from running around the park we're super hot from chasing him around the park so we need some air conditioning what a nice area it is a I don't know what day it is need to check travel vlogging life never know what day it is Monday it's Monday pretty quiet here really nice little lake with a water fountain and the mall entrance I believe is just over there the Surya KLCC Surya Surya pronunciations are difficult as well when we travel vlog probably get everything wrong so funny a couple just came up to us and handed George their phone and we thought it's because loads of people are getting pictures here and George has got a camera he must be good at photography can you get a picture of us sort of thing and then he sort of started to nettle into us and turn up turn around into us because he wanted a picture with us nothing to not even that we're in the background it's hilarious we're not sure if he watches the channel I don't think so or he just wanted a photo with us I don't think he watches the channel because he didn't really say but very very friendly and smiley and yeah nice to meet you if you happen to be watching this that has happened once the other way around though with George hasn't it when someone said can I have a picture no all right yes let me it's a very embarrassing we get we've got a certain number of subscribers we do get recognized here and there as we travel when people ask for selfies and stuff so we're kind of used to that someone came up and said oh could I please have a photo I was like yeah of course man yeah sure come in start smiling start like doing this with him he's like on like of me like he just wanted me to he didn't know who I was he just wanted me to take a photo of him at this place and it was like oh I just I wanted to wanted the ground to swallow me up Lucy I'm loving this this is like very cool it's a whole new Kuala Lumpur for us I don't know what I think when not that we went to the wrong places before but just felt so different this feels so much different feeling it felt really corporate before and busy and hectic everyone in suits I think we went to some like business district this is just like chilled and nice and friendly and families and not that it wasn't friendly before like I don't want you to think that we're saying we didn't like it before now we do no it's just completely different yeah and I just like it more yeah and I want to come back here this is a high-end mall it's very fancy Gucci off-white off-white YSL like all the Fendi all the big brands it's lovely super posh really nice all the big brands that we will not be shopping in today no where's 7-eleven actually no Watsons so we've come to um how do we how do you pronounce that Nyong'o colors I don't know I think it says that and they've got all these little little sweets down here super cheap 1.8 RM so that's like 30 pence for these little I think they're like glutinous rice we had some yesterday at the hotel um so we're gonna get a few to try because they look delicious and I can't believe how cheap they are and then we're gonna go find some coffee and enjoy them with a cup of coffee which should be good really nice coffee just found a little coffee shop called eight eight ounce coffee so I've got my little oh yeah eight ounce got my little eight ounce flat white I think it's eight ounce flat white really really nice keeping our voices down a little bit Koda's having his nap in the buggy but we can now try these Malaysian sweets shall we get them out yes also four pounds for two coffees here and two pounds for all the sweets Malaysia is seems so cheap to us we're nearly paying four pounds for one coffee in the UK now aren't we once you add like the oat milk £3.20 £3.30 sometimes so here are the choices we made we asked for their best sellers and I also chose a few that I like the look of so this one has rose flavors in it got coconut around the edge so this is the one I'm most excited for because I love rose I'm not actually tasting any rose doesn't actually taste as much that wonderfulness sorry you're just laughing behind the camera I have to be honest okay let's try this one I love the texture they're like super wobbly this was a best seller and the colors are cool I kind of want clothes in this color yum that one's really yummy it tastes a bit like pandan actually I don't know if there's any pandan in it but it's that consistency I'm also very interested in this one because it looks very ricey and I love rice pudding classic English dessert that's my kind of one not sweet at all this one called like the bingka or something bingka that's yummy it tastes like a cake but it has a gooey consistency am I just going for all of these very yummy I like that one you're looking forward to eating my half-eaten and the last one to try that one tastes kind of unusual what does that one taste like hang on I know that flavor I can't think what it is but favorite if you're wondering why I'm soaked actually I'm only soaked behind me it's only my back and the back of my head that's soaked it's because I just went to the pool area because the twin towers you can see behind me look incredible at night and I was gonna go out but because I had another hour until the pool closed but they locked it because it's really raining tonight and I found a security guard who let me quickly nip out to take a photo and I tried to take a picture I tried to take a video on the camera but it completely steamed up so I'm gonna put in a photo here I took on my phone it's quite rubbish it wasn't the ending of the vlog that I had in mind I planned to like show you guys like the outside view here but I can't do much about the weather and the weather's been quite bad here since we got here it's been quite nice and sunny during the days but every night it's really rained thunderstorms lightning I quite like that I like looking out on a city that's got a big storm going over it and yeah super rainy I don't know if it's rainy season here or something perhaps but yeah anyway thanks for watching this video today we hope you guys enjoyed coming along with us on a day in Kuala Lumpur and if you did enjoy it please give it a thumbs up and subscribe and we'll see you tomorrow for another day here we've got um oh we've got some really fun plans tomorrow actually we're going somewhere really interesting and I think you guys are going to enjoy seeing it and we're also moving to a different area of Kuala Lumpur tomorrow so stay tuned for that and yeah we'll see you in the next video
