Every time I see food on a banana leaf, I think of birthdays, baptisms, quinceañeras', and of course good old pancit ! Thanks for the tour JR, that's a great price for such a well equipped room. How many floors are in that building ? I'd have to haggle for something closer to the ground myself, but its still a sweet deal.

@FOCUSonASIA13 3 күн бұрын

Exactly and pork is #1 in my book. I am still not big on Malaysia but KL this trip was fun and Malacca good so far. I don't think I will hit Georgetown any more. To get to Malacca from KL you take 2 hr train to Pulau Sebang Tampin then its 1 hour grab ride or if coming from Singapore its like 4 hr bus ride. We are taking bus to Johor Bahru next like 3.5 hours then crossing over to Singapore after couple nights

@@FOCUSonASIA13 Malacca was in my list the last two trips ... But just didn't happen ;). Oh well, i still enjoyed, that's all the counts. Going to try and hit it first next time, that way I'll get it in. Malaysia is a lot cheaper than Thailand in a lot of ways, even the grab taxi is so cheap! But i do miss pork dishes when I'm there!(But doesn't hurt to go without for awhile) And English is every where there. I need to explore more of the islands and diving

Do you prefer Penang over BKK or is it basically equal . Using your housing, restaurant and transportation cost what one would be cheaper

@FOCUSonASIA13 3 күн бұрын

Cannot compare the two as Georgetown is a smaller city not even close to size and convenience of Bangkok. I would not live in Georgetown but would live in Bangkok. Food cost is cheap in Georgetown but does not have the selection Thailand has.

Are you using cash or cards at these restaurants? Do you have to tip in Thailand?

@FOCUSonASIA13 10 күн бұрын

I only do cash unless its a special occasion fancy western restaurant and then maybe us the card. You do not have to tip but we do as wages in Thailand like rest of Southeast Asia, Singapore excluded, are very low. Most restaurants have a service charge, so check your bill, usually 7.5-10% so we just add a little bit more depending on how the service was.

JenJen and I hate to see you go but I know you have you reasons, just want to let you know that you were a part of our lives whenever we had the chance to chill and relax watching your videos. Wish you and Miss Cecilia luck in your lives and hope to meet you someday. By the way I’m a big fan of TacoBell, it’s one of my favorite comfort foods.😊
