We love the trains in SE Asia. Had the pleasure(?) of experiencing the Euston mad dash last year. 😂 I give you credit for having no familiar comforts (especially the bed). We are currently doing hotels and Airbnb’s in Mexico heading to South America in March. I think the older my husband and I get the more we like our comforts. Thinking we will settle down in Colombia. So glad we traveled when we did. Will continue to do so but with a home base. Enjoying your videos. Thank you for your hard work.

Glad I have found your channel again -- and subscribed this time ! I am sure you will enjoy Ipoh. It has a lot to offer and rail links are great . However , the main bus station is quite far out of town . By the way , I seem to recall some time back you mentioned suggestions for secure and convenient methods of payment whilst on prolonged tours . Are you still happy with Revolut ? Many thanks, good health and Happy Chinese new year .

The Bedrock looks wonderful. Would definitely consider staying there on a trip to Ipoh. Breakfast is better eaten at a local kopitiam in Ipoh. Try New Hollywood Restaurant. A variety of local delicacies, people from KL drive to Ipoh just to eat at New Hollywood.

@noordinbeldenlex1620 Жыл бұрын

Ipoh is a capital of Perak state, after Georgetown, was probably formerly Malaysia's third-largest city, although I'm not sure if that distinction still belongs to Johor Bahru today. Ipoh is a peaceful city that is good for retirees. Like the famous Malaysian artist Michelle Yeoh (the James Bond's girl), I was born in Ipoh, where I am aware that many of the older buildings here were built during the colonial era. Ipoh is well known for its Chinese cuisine. You could inquire the locals about the best places to eat in Ipoh. Despite being smaller than Georgetown or KL, I believe it is worthwhile for you to slowly explore the city.

Yes, Ipoh was a mining town (tin), and Perak was the 1st Malay state to came under the British administration and the richest state in Malaya before the Japanese occupation in WW2. Before independence, Perak had the best infrastructures in Malaya and probably in South East of Asia.

Georgetown is 2nd..Ipoh is definitely bigger than JB. JB dont even have a proper city center. Ipoh and Georgetown do have a proper city layout. Kuching definitely not as big as Ipoh. But if you compare area size then I think probably JB and Kuching is bigger.

The central JB is one of the smallest in Malaysia but the metropolitan JB can be the third largest. even within a few years it could overtake Georgetown as the second largest.
