So you've heard the phrase "All good things must come to an end", right?
Well after spending 13 months here in Malaysia and being given multiple visa extensions by Malaysian immigration, the time has finally come when we have to say goodbye.
I'm going to tell you our story about how we wrapped up our time here in Malaysia in just a minute,
but first I want to say a big thank you to all of you for watching our videos.
We are a smaller YouTube channel and we don't fully monetize our videos,
We earned just about $250 or about 1000 ringgit in revenue from the video ads.
We decided to donate that money back to Malaysia and gave that money to a food bank in Penang, another food bank in Ipoh, and also a children's home in Ipoh.
But really you are the ones who donated that money because the money we got from the ads came from you watching our videos.
So thank you for watching and thank you to our viewers for providing this food and supplies to the people in need during these difficult times.
Even though we have left Malaysia we have at least three more videos about our life in Malaysia that we plan to release over the next few weeks.
So please subscribe to our channel so that you can be notified when these videos are ready.
I want to say thank you to so many friends that we met in Malaysia. The Malaysian people are just so friendly.
When we came to Malaysia we thought we were just coming for a short period of time so that we could do some sightseeing and visit all the typical tourist places.
We never expected that we would end up meeting so many wonderful people and that we would develop so many new friendships.
And not just friendships but long-term friendships, people that we'll keep in touch with and people we will see again when we come back to Malaysia whenever that is in the future.
I can't show you the pictures of all the friends we made, it would just take too long.
We enjoyed the sightseeing in Malaysia but the best part of Malaysia for us was the wonderful people.
If you've been following our story you know that we were in Cambodia when Covid started impacting the world,
and we wanted to get to a new country where we would have access to quality healthcare, so we left Cambodia and came to Malaysia.
We spent just one day in Kuala Lumpur visiting the Petronas Towers that you see there and also the Batu Caves.
Then we left for Cameron Highlands.
We planned to spend just two days there but when we arrived we found out that there would be a lockdown for two weeks.
Well, as the severity of the virus became more apparent, the lockdown was extended multiple times and we ended up staying in Cameron Highlands for three months.
Once interstate travel reopened we moved to Penang where we spent almost six months.
After we left Penang we went to Ipoh where we again found ourselves on lockdown and ended up spending over two months there.
Some other places that we visited in Malaysia were the beautiful Perhentian Islands where we had some wonderful snorkeling,
Langkawi, an island with beautiful waterfalls, mountains and beaches,
Taiping, where we got to visit an orangutan conservation island,
and also Pangkor Island where we fed the hornbill birds and had some peace and quiet on the deserted beaches.
Once we found out that our expired tourist visa would not be extended and that we were going to have to leave Malaysia we headed back to Kuala Lumpur.
This is where we got the Covid test that was required to travel, and then we had just a little bit of free time in KL,
so we went to the Islamic Art Museum and also saw the National Mosque
And then it was time to say goodbye to Malaysia, for now, not forever, because we'll be back.
