Ipoh? We'd never heard of it so we thought why not give this place 48 hours to explore so took the train from Kuala Lumpur and settled in. What did we spend and is 48 hours enough (or too long?!) in Ipoh, hit play and you'll fine out.

I love the drone view in the beginning of this video. My husband and I love just exploring around,. I adore walking because you can enjoy an area at a slower pace. Meandering is my JAM! After minimizing your life, can you truly eliminate the urge to shop? My husband and I are in the midst of minimizing, but I still have a roving eye when I spot a cute shop. I keep telling myself, "My suitcase can only hold so much!" Hoping that'll deter me.

There is a “tin mining dredge” , only one left through out Malaysia, just outside of the city of Ipoh. Must see.

You’ve convinced us Ipoh is worth a visit. I miss the coconut shakes in Penang which became a daily must have.

We, like you, do not usually visit museums during our travels since we prefer doing outdoor stuff. We reserve museums, preferably free ones, for rainy days. Wishing you a nice week. Cheers! ☕️ 😊

Great video! I loved Ipoh & would go back there in a heartbeat. I'll be in Penang from Jan 31 to Feb 2nd so, I may see you guys while I'm there. Hope you enjoy Penang. The food in little India is wonderful.

I grew up in Ipoh but moved to the US in my late teens. I hope to visit the Tin Museum the next time I’m in Ipoh. My paternal grandpa worked as a tin-miner near Ipoh. Glad that you enjoyed Ipoh.

I am a Malaysian, and same as most of you guys I hate being chased. But I used to ask a salesperson, they need to follow the 'prospect' for at least 2 reason. 1. to help out the 'prospect' and 2. if you decided to buy, part of the sales gonna be their commission. so they are making sure you are not attended by other salesperson... Way to make space is by telling them, "i'll call you once I found something ya..?" and make sure you keep the promise.. 😁

What a lovely video. I grew up in Ipoh in the 70s before moving to KL. I remember it being a very laid back small town back then, probably still is judging by your video. Yes the afternoon heat in Malaysia can be pretty uncomfortable. Do carry a mini handheld fan, put on a hat n drink sugarless barley water. :) Looking fwd to more videos!

Yup 3-4 days are sufficient for Ipoh and now because of the recent Oscar winner who came from Ipoh ( my late dad was also from Ipoh), many people will be heading to Ipoh

I recall being pursued by a few sales people at the multi-level Pearl Market in Beijing. Fortunately we had good advice from a local friend on how to manage this to our advantage from a bargaining perspective, as uncomfortable as it felt! We were not taught as children in Canada, how to bargain. The "price" was and is the price. Whereas our friend's guidance was to show as little interest as possible and start by dividing by 4! Thanks for the tour!

@Randomkloud Жыл бұрын

the people in the shops follow you because 1. they dont trust you 2. that's their idea of "customer service" 3. Make sure anything you buy goes through them so they get their commission 4. they're trying to pressure you into buying. Just politely tell them that you're just looking around first. if they can't (or won't) take the hint just walk away.

You will find several areas of Penang with similar arched footpaths. They were sensible in the early 20th century or before? when they built the buildings, and they gave shade for those walking.

Agree if they chase me around a store or try to sell me on every item they have I'm running to the exit. Plenty of other shops that will allow me to browse and not feel pressured.

Great video as always… Heatiness… It’s not a temperature thing, it’s a way the Chinese describe a person’s internal “flow” for want of a better phrase. You will find lots of Chinese talk about food reducing heat, which I think is more closely related to cholesterol, but I am happy to stand corrected. If anyone is Chinese reading this they may be able to explain more succinctly… I do know it’s not a temperate based heat though.

The sales staff’s level of enthusiasm to please can be unbearable and too close for comfort in terms of proximity. I sincerely think their intention was to please and help…. without realizing they hinder.
