Just for additional historical input, the Chinese came to this country in two different era. The first one is during the Ming dynasty when Admiral Zheng He started his expeditions. The Sultanate of Malacca during that time became a vassal/tributary state of Ming. Many Chinese merchants and higher status at that time settled in Malacca up to Penang island in the north. As the time goes, they intermingled with locals and became Peranakan. The second wave of Chinese coming here were migrants during British colonial era for tin mining mostly in Ipoh (Perak) and Selangor. There was another influx of Chinese coming here as well during Japanese War and the subsequent Chinese Civil War. For your information, Dr. Sun Yat Sen’s Chinese Oversea Headquarter was established in Penang island.

The Malaysian Indian couple you shared your table with, the lady using the chopstick and soup spoon combo like a Chinese and the gentleman peeling the skin and eating the bao just like Chinese. Very cute to see. Love the melting pot that is Malaysia.

Welcome to Malaysia! Seems like you're curious and an open minded person. I believe this attitude will get you to travel to anywhere in this planet. Very refreshing style of vlogging. Keep it up and hope you will have a good time in this country.

Welcome to Malaysia!!! To be honest, this is my very first time seeing a lady going to male barber shop..hahaha...normally lady would go to a salon, or a lady barber....anyhow, enjoy your stay!!! So far all your facts are correct, you did good research!

Girl I gotta say you're really brave by going to a men barbershop in a country that you just visited for the first time 😅🤣 Anyways enjoy your stay here🇲🇾❤

Haha I think it's the first time I see a chinese lady (malaysian or otherwise) who has haircut in an indian barbershop. Usually malaysian chinese women go to local chinese auntie hair salons 😂 so I was kind of scared when that barber decided to give you that neck twisting procedure usually given to male customers! Thank God you survived to tell the story haha 😂

Hello from a new subscriber in the UK 😊 I’m hugely enjoying your videos - so informative..you really do your homework. Great to see your inquisitiveness about so many cultures and your superb English makes it all so easy to watch. Excellent 😍

Actually women in Malaysia rarely goes to these types of barber shops, only guys do. Most women go to hair salon to have hair cut, perming etc. The head twisting is part of the service which most men would enjoyed.

selamat datang ke Malaysia, semoga anda gembira di sini

FYI. There are 3 main race in Malaysia. Malay, Chinese, Indian and of course others too. Local Chinese are referred to as Malaysian Chinese, not Malay Chinese. Malay is a race whereas Malaysian is a nationality. Have a good visit in Malaysia.

I am impressed with your english speaking! So fluent!

In both Malaysia and Thailand, there are drinking water dispensers where, for a ridiculous price you can refill your empty water bottle, it's a great idea to avoid plastic bottles. So far, the only place I visited which is 100% plastic free is Mcleodganj in India, the place where the Dalai Lama resides. In Europe there's the compulsive recycling methods where all disposable materials must be collected. Every family must differentiate the garbage in: food scraps, plastic, paper and cardboard boxes, batteries, glass (there are special containers placed in every neighbourhood and many more depending on the country). There are fines if you don't comply, however it is based on a sense of community and responsibility. In Switzerland, I was with a Swiss friend and she saw a tourist trying to pick a protected flower, she ran angrily to the tourist and reminded him that the flower belongs to a category of protected flowers and picking it is illegal. It was an alpine star. Most Swiss people are like that. Switzerland is a beautiful mountainous country which was never involved in wars. Their milk and chocolate products are considered some of the best in Europe.

P.S: There's a difference between the term "Malay" and "Malaysian". Malay refers to a race (马来种族) which has the majority of the populace in the Malay Peninsula here. Malaysian refers to the nationality (马来西亚国籍). There are Malaysians who are of Malay, Indian and Chinese ethnicity. So, there are Malay Malaysians, Indian Malaysians and Chinese Malaysians. In fact, there are more than these 3 races but these 3 are the majority that you'll find in the Malay Peninsula.

Greetings! Yan, welcome to Malaysia! Your channel is quite refreshing... Love the way you present your view and perspective of all the places you visit and even jungle trekking alone! Brave woman...!!! What's most amusing is you actually goes into an Indian Barber mainly for men... Actually, nothing wrong going there for a haircut but they really don't have woman hairstyles on the wall posters.... Hahaha...LOL.... Welcome again and enjoy the various types of cuisine from different cultures here... Don't be afraid to try them. Take care and stay safe!!! 👍☺️ P/S: Most KZfaqrs actually increased their subscribers and viewers while in Malaysia and 10/10 of their Vlogs "Most popular" videos are produced in Malaysia.... Good Luck!! 👍👍😄

I really enjoyed watching your vlog. You are actually more well informed than most travel bloggers and I love that you go local on so many things. Cheers and adventure on!

She look like a walking geography teacher. I used to have a geography teacher back in the 90s that loves to travel. Almost 90% of our class score with high marks. Because my teacher knows everything and tell a very nice travel experience of her during the class that related to the topic.

Sister, transportation is really good in Malaysia. In Georgetown they even have a free bus which goes around the old part of town. Many cruises stops in Georgetown so there are always tons of tourists from all over the world. I went hiking near Georgetown, there's a national park, I saw a sea lion emerging from the polluted sea, it looked straight at me as to say "Look, what you have done". Pollution, plastic pollution in particular, it's a huge problem all over South East Asia. In Italy, Genova, the sea was completely black when I was a child then, most factories and industries were shut down and moved to Asia. Nowadays, the sea water in Genova is crystal clear and they are building prototype ships that do not pollute. In the past, accumulating money was the priority but today we understand, thanks to covid as well, that life can change with the blink of an eye so better to take what you need and enjoy life because we might not be here tomorrow. Biodiversity has been destroyed in Malaysia because of the palm tree industry, unfortunately everybody suffers in this way and only a few benefit from the gradual homicide of our mother. There's enough for every species if we don't interfere with Nature! Peace, love and joy to you all! 😁🤗💖

Hello from Trinidad and Tobago! I love your channel as it is so informative. Makes me feel like I am literally on the journey with you.

I love it. For some time I always thought that Malaysia and Indonesia would be „only“ Muslims. But it‘s so diverse!

妳应该是第一位女生去印度发廊剪头发的，勇（改次去hair salon,至少是华人开的） 下次有机会再来大马，多花点时间认识大马当地的华人生活。 Ipoh, my hometown💓

You've done your homework well, hope you enjoy your holiday here in Malaysia!!

Hi there! First of all, welcome to Malaysia! I just wanna share that the "free service" you got from the barber is pretty common among Indian barbershop. There are people go there just for that free service including me. It's quite satisfying sometimes but if you don't like it, you are always welcome to tell them not to do that for you. On top of that, I really need to praise your spirits for visiting barbershop instead of salon. Most women in Malaysia usually go to salon for haircuts but all in all, I'm glad you enjoyed your time here.

Stumbled upon your vlog outta nowhere. Already loving it the content and my gosh your English is perfect 👍 Keep it up girl enjoy world travel yeahhh ✈️ And thank you so much for visiting my country 🇲🇾

Its ok Miss Yan. I think you just set a record for being the first adult lady cutting hair in a male barber shop. You may go down in history... 😁. Anyway you are brave to try new things. Yan the brave. P. S. You should have tried in a more modern air conditioned barber shop.

拿督公, the 拿督 comes from the Malay word, "Datuk", which is like a title of respect. Datuk can also means Grandfather.

Thoroughly enjoyed your presentation which I found to be easygoing and calm. Take care and keep safe

Welcome to Malaysia, Hope you you will come to Penang also. You are so brave, normally only guy going to Indian barber. Simply is because of girl want to have better hair design so they just go for salon with better hair designer.

Great video. I love the diverse nature of Malaysia.

Welcome to M'sia! Hope you enjoy your stay here 🍻🥂

Hi Yan, your trip to the Indian barber was an authentic experience especially the neck cracking bit. I was getting ready for it the moment I saw that towel on your shoulder. The face you made was funny but yes you’re a champ for trying it out. The little bits of hair left on your neck is also part of the experience 😂.

Looks awesome can't wait to go there myself

You are so positive! Welcome to Malaysia. We speak many languages.

I enjoy your traveling videos. I love to travel too. Best wishes on your 2nd journey around the globe.

In Kuala Lumpur you can find cheap but clean guest houses with a private room with shared bathroom for less than USD 10 near Chinatown. The food is great in Malaysia but the best city for vegan or vegetarian meals is Georgetown.

Hopefully u can enjoy Ur Time here..Nice Hair cut Anyway

It's very rare that a tourist choose Ipoh right after KL. You chose well. Ipoh is one of the best cities to explore.

Omg RM10 with head massage is veryyy cheap!! It cost RM12 here in my area without massage… Welcome to Malaysia!!!

今年我也是第一次去槟城，使我重新改观马来西亚，我觉得还有如此安静舒适且干净保留古香古色的城市！ 左边是山右边是海，真不错！ 可以多次去旅行！

Ipoh is my hometown. Looking forward to retire in Ipoh. Really enjoy your vlog.

Excellent ! Know the Chinese area about Petaling Street well. I expect to be back in Jingdezhen in July . I have lived there for three years . Would be great to meet you there .I have many friends there . I am an Australian artist . Lived in Shanghai and Jdz since 2010

Welcome 🥰🥰

Very nice videos, hope you continue now you are back home ❤

I dont know about who came first or later. I am Malay. My maternal great great grandfather and his wife ( my great great grandma ) came from Yunan in China. Their children married to locals of mixed blood of Thai,Jawa and Malay. I dont speak Mandarin. People often mistakes me of being Chinese. I love it when the restaurant owner said he is Malaysia Chinese.

I’m many decades yr old n this the first time I see a lady getting a haircut at an Indian barber. What an experience to watch. I’ve only taken my son but never thought of taking my daughter there 😄

Thank❤🌹🙏 you, dear Yan! That twist of your neck was surprising! 😅😊

欢迎光临，来到马来西亚🇲🇾🎉🎊

You are very brave getting a haircut in an Indian barbershop, I'm surprised 😯. How do you find Malaysia so far? Do you find any difference between Malaysian Chinese culture and foods with China?

Welcome to Malaysia 🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿. But I'm from the Borneo part which is Kuching, Sarawak. If you happen to visit please let us meet up.

I love 💕 Malaysia so adventure, green and healthy foods 👏. My country Singapore got nothing adventure only condominiums 😔😔

Like all your videos.
