Anything interesting to see in Malaysia or just skip it for Thailand?
>>2876169Woth a week or two visit after that it's the most generic SEA place possible without any of the perks
>>2876174What’s the best SEA country? And what do you mean by perks
>>2876175>What’s the best SEA country?I don't know what you like so what am I supposed to say? For all I know you like rock climbingWomen in Malaysia are pretty well known to be closed off or scammy.The amount of things to do run out pretty quickBeer is expensive due to mostly muslimThe serving sizes of food, while amazing looking, are retardedly smallThe history of malaysia is pretty meh just "yeah so british ruled here for a while and left... I think ww2 happened"The party vibe you get in thailand, singapore, vietnam, HK, just straight up isn't there or is insanely expensive. Overall if you don't drink, just like seeing jungle shit, some cool new buildings, and want to be fucking cheap stays go for it. Enjoy WHOOOO IS ALLLLLLAH in the morning make sure not to book right next to that shit as it gets annoying, fast. It's the perfect place for a gap in tourist visa resetting
>>2876169It sucks. The women are ugly and act like cunts. It's a muslim country so they have rules for goyim, eg in the supermarket they sell cheap rice but only to malaysians, the metro costs $12 a month to malaysians but foreigners get screwed, foreigners have to pay a nightly tax on every hotel/hostel etcNo malaysian person will ever give a shit about you, the other expats here seem to be heavily compromising by being here. No one cares who you are or where you're from, there's basically four groups of people and they're completely hierarchical in this order: malays, chinese malaysians, jeet malaysians, and foreigners.
>>2876177I like the food. Popiah are amazing and hard to find in the US, the texture of the wrapper is kinda soft and spongy and it comes with a unique fermented bean dip sauce (how i've had it in the us)I also like their stir fry noodlesI would never visit a Muslim place but I bet some of the food is good.
>make my money woofhehe
We can never have too many SEA threads
>>2876169Petronas Towers, Batu Caves, Brickfields, Melaka, Merdeka 118, National Mosque, Bukit Bintang
Not much to it really. The food scene is really good (I mean legitimately good), but otherwise its pretty mediocre.One of the primary issues I had with malaysia and Kuala lumpur in particular were Indians being everywhere. They are basically the labor caste, but I still dont want to see them all the time.Having Indians around is like a bad smell in your house you cannot quite pinpoint and get a whiff of randomly through the day, disrupting your peace.
>>2876229Yea I heard the food is dope. I kind of want to just have a 2 week foodie hiatus between cooming in other countries
That people here are saying Malaysia is bad proves that nobody has any interest in nature. Everyone is just visiting places to coom and get drunk. And I get it. It's fun. But I have all that at home if I want it. I don't have massive jungles and orangutans at home, but Malaysia does.
I spent a week in Malaysia.Pros:> Cheap> Everyone speaks English> Extremely safe> Decent infrastructure (leftover from british)> Best food on earth (combined the best parts of Thai, Indian, and Chinese cuisines)> Night markets (run by the chinese minority) are as good, if not better, than the ones in Taiwan.Cons:> Utterly BORING> Islamic laws mean nothing interesting ever happens> No culture of excellence. There is nothing terrible but also nothing amazing. Very typical of Muslim societies, it's a side side effect of the belief in qadar (predestination)> The country was handed a golden platter of a plentiful resources + great legal system + infrastructure when the British left. But they squandered it though incompetence and corruption.> Innovation and business development is done by the successful chinese minority, but the chinese are heavily discriminated against by law (school, jobs, government grants). It's actually quite sad.Malaysia is absolutely perfect if you want a cheap, safe, family friendly vacation with your wife and kids. But very boring if you like anything interesting. Thailand / Vietnam are much better for that.The best, and easiest way to visit Malaysia is by going to Singapore and doing a day-trip to Johor. That's more than enough to see the country, you might get bored of the country after a few hours (like I did).
I'm very convinced everyone here is only visiting Johor and Kuala Lumpur's downtown area for 2 days then leaving. It's like visiting Shenzhen and saying China has nothing to do, or visiting Switzerland and only going to Geneva.
>>2876250>Innovation and business development is done by the successful chinese minority, but the chinese are heavily discriminated against by law (school, jobs, government grants). It's actually quite sad.most of the chinese here are racist schizos and dont care about it or know about it. they are happy patriotcattle and all their social medias are blocked from talking about or criticizing it so they are none the wiser. they have a civnat mentality where a brown malay or malaysian jeet is viewed as the in group while they hate their own blood brothers from china with a passion.and the chinese were undeservedly gifted all of the capital when the british fucked off, they didnt rise to the top by merit. most of the chinese malaysians are dysgenic af compared to mainlanders or taiwan
>>2876177>It's a muslim country so they have rules for goyimI had no problems finding alcohol
>>2876276man overseas chinese are so insufferable. Chairman Xi smite these faggots
>>2876276>while they hate their own blood brothers from china with a passion.For everyone else out there, this dude is just a seething chinaman. The Chinese in Malaysia descend from people who moved there centuries ago. Many have been living there since the 13th century. Older people don't even speak Mandarin, they speak languages like Hokkien.This is like seething that Brits don't feel any connection to their Norman brothers back in France.
>>2876287If your point here is that Malaysian Chinese see themselves as Chinese to the same extent (some) modern day French would see themselves as British, ie not at all, you are wrong. That anon's pic proves as much when the girl says>马来西亚的华人和中国的华人完全不一样>Malaysian Chinese and PRC Chinese are completely differentSuch phrasing making clear the point that she sees herself/both as Chinese (华人)
Malaysia elicits a lot of hatred from degenerate Zionist-coded shills for the simple fact that the country does not recognize the existence of Israel. Malaysia is also one of very few countries who refused to sign a declaration condemning racism. Ethnic and cultural segregation is the norm in Malaysia. This also makes shills butthurt.The truth is that Malaysia is full of beautiful pleasant experiences for those willing to explore the country. Public transport between towns in Malaysia is affordable and comfortable, but if you really want to see the natural beauty, waterfalls and caves and rainforest treks, you need to arrange private transport. Dining culture varies hugely across the country. Food prices are significantly higher than in Thailand. Anons who complain about small portions are eating at 5 minute fastfood slop joints in the big city. Ingredient quality at such places is also low. They are intended for the working class. Leisure dining - i.e. the really good food - is an evening and nighttime pastime in Malaysia, so save your appetite for after dark. And be prepared to pay $5 or more for your meal. Don't think you're gonna enjoy an amazing plate of food for $2.50. If you're new to the cuisine, you'll think it tastes good, but once you try the really good stuff, it's tough to go back to mee goreng tier slop.
>>2876292You're a dumb ESL who can't speak English and couldn't understand my basic ass sentence. You argued against the opposite of what I said. Retard lol
>>2876276All Chinese diaspora (Taiwan, Hong Kong, Singapore, Malaysia) are all massive cocksucking faggot racetraitors. No different than a white libtard. The Chinese diaspora are why people hate the Chinese, but if you go to China the people are really friendly and welcoming.
>>2876285at 10x markup>>2876294t. literal ministry of tourism shill
>>2876309I noticed I got the direction backwards after posting thanks but did I actually miss the point you're making? That there are several-hundred-year-old migrations of people that were once one and now don't remotely consider themselves one?
>>2876310I had the same experience. All english speakers are white libtards or slightly discounted versions. They're all a part of the english media/algorithm bubble>>2876313you don't get it, it's like when white americans think they are more similar to basketball americans than they are to other white people
>>2876315Evidently I don't get it. I have no idea what the point you're trying to make is between>This is like seething that Brits don't feel any connection to their Norman brothers back in France.and>like when white americans think they are more similar to basketball americans than they are to other white people
>>2876315>it's like when white americans think they are more similar to basketball americans than they are to other white peopleThey are.t. other white people
I use it as a spacer for visa hopping so people don't think I have a job in some country. It's fine but this is the average exp, the gem of Malay is George Town IMO. >land in KILA/KILA2>wow it sucks here>remember the train is bullshit and dumps you at the gayest station ever and the following metro is also gay and get a grab>SIRS WHERE U FROM SIRS for the entire ride>get to Airbnb that is available to host men because like 1/2 are women only>looks (kinda) like the pictures close enough to where you can't call airbnb to refund nothing horribly wrong>aircon will suck, they always suck, any gym is cardio shit in the condo, pool is kiddie piss bowl, air makes wanting to sunbathe a chore>go out for some food, wow it's so cheap why don't I come here more often>realize the serving size is meant for human skeletons if you gym good luck keeping your daily intake hit>go to the supermarket realize you went to the wrong one because this one is HALAL only so you have to go to a mall for the other good stuff>find whatever walmart tier shit to buy and cook at home>decide to go out since an event is in town CHINKS CHINKS EVERYWHERE when you do make it inside the vibe is like jr high dance shit>go get a beer at a pub after realize everything is highway robbery even for SEA>Chinese girl sits down with you, says she has some cute friends (this is a scam run)>try to chat with locals, they are legit retarded. I have no words they make pino's in Manila look like educated fun people. Seriously I explained to a few friends I made years back there was a china town in KL (the city they grew up) and were like wut that is not true. Most only have one topic to live by and that's it>every point of interest is a 1 trick pony, there is 0 reason to revisitI know some fags here love it, especially the country, but all you will see is pale imitations of british culture and chinese moving in non-stop. No they didn't move there 2000 years ago they are the ones actively fleeing.
>>2876394truest post I ever read on this site
What's said in the thread and>book max 90 day stay in Malaysia>read malaysia is awesome and has tons of cool things>alright will see north parts, KL, and johor>it's literally india lite but with random chinese towns everywhere>every town has maybe 1 week max to see everythingThe food is SSS+ if you want to photomaxx for instagram with girls in other parts of asia, but it absolutely sucks in terms of cost for the money. >>2876412the post forgot the constant smell of sewage and cheap places to eat where brids fly in and poop right on or next to food. I remember getting some street food and seeing rats run around the kitchen while the owner was like "ah no problem no bite".
>>2876315Europeans don't consider white Americans to be trad based trve Scotsmen just because one of their great great great great grand uncle's ex-wives had a great great step grandfather who lived in Scotland 300 years ago. Why would a Malaysian who's got a family lineage 700 years in Malaysia have any connection to The People's Republic of China?
The food serving size thing is a common complaint but an issue I never encountered personally in Kuala lumpurIm 5' 11, 175lbs and active and was satisfied every time.
>>2876438>Im 5' 11, 175lbs and active and was satisfied every time.lol please tell me this is bait
>>2876440It's a ministry of tourism "I'm having a blast" shill
>>2876312My last Malaysia trip was really enjoyable. I blogposted about every town I visited on r/Malaysia and got hellacious updoots. Can't wait for the new railway from Kota Bahru to Kuantan to be completed. Terengganu is an extremely beautiful state, but it has the worst public transport in the peninsula, which makes it a hassle to visit. It's also one of two peninsular states (the other being Kelantan) where it's almost impossible to find beer. >>2876394All of this sounds like a skill issue. I met intelligent people in Kuala Lumpur. My rooms all had powerful silent A/C units. If I wanted to get stuffed, I'd go to a dhaba style eatery run by a 250 pound Muslim guy and he'd serve me a giant plate of mutton curry - full of big tender chunks of sheep - with biryani rice for $5. Double burgers cost $2 and are sold on the street late in the evening all over the country. Each one is about 4 oz of beef. Human skeletons my ass. Malaysia is full of beefy fat Muslim guys who stuff themselves with meat on a regular basis. Stop going to the Chinese food courts. Chinese are much more racist toward whites than Malays are. Of course they're going to give you three fishballs and two tiny scraps of pork when the regulars get eight fishballs and six pieces of pork in their noodle soup. >>2876418Sparrows hopping all over the food prep counter is common in lower-class restaurants in Thailand and Malaysia. What can anyone do about it? The rats and roaches are sewer dwellers. Usually you see them when they are making a connection from one drain to another. Their presence has no bearing on food quality. >it's literally india liteYou clearly haven't been to India. Only a few Malaysian cities even come close to the impatient aggressive driving behavior that is universal in India. Malaysian urban development is much more uniform than India, which varies hugely from one block to another. Malaysia's roads are also in excellent condition compared to India's roads.
>>2876443>new railway from Kota Bahru to KuantanDidn't know about that. Seems it'll be ready early next year. Got any suggestions for the east peninsula? I've seen basically all the best spots on the western side and loved it. Think I might go and see the east next year if this train gets completed on time.
