    Thank you for the tour, Taylor. It's good to see the beautiful transformation of M-City once you're up close, and inside. You've previously shown the giant black M-City cube in past videos, and it doesn't give warm and fuzzy feelings. It gives an image of a dark dystopian future where the Terminators have taken over the world, or perhaps of a giant alien space craft that landed, wiped us out and took over the planet.

    I miss Malaysia. I have lived in Thailand for the past 8 years but always love my restorative visits to Penang, KL, and hopefully Kuching at some point too. Thailand is great but very much a monoculture and being an American, the multicultural nature of Malaysian society seems to make me feel more at home.

      @@propertyguru22 Rents in Bangkok have always been sticky, even in bad economic times they never fall. Thai condo owners would rather sit on an empty condo than lower the rent..it's a cultural thing . I live just north of Bangkok in Nonthaburi but am always checking the market and rents have moved higher. KL is a much better deal rent wise for sure.

    I used to live here. The pool and gardens is lovely. The studio too. What I love the most is the grocer and pharmacy down there. When I planning my dish, it’s as easy as a button down to go and buy the ingredients you want. But the lack of public transport is a hindrance for me as I rely it 90% for my mobility. Lovely video as always,.

    $410 is an absolute bargain for this unit. I absolutely love the two story high ceiling units like this. My dream would be to have a Steinway piano next to a large window over looking the city. I would also love to do portable Ham Radio op's from the balcony, my other nerdy hobby. To me, this is like a Sim City dream-like lifestyle and is high on my list of possibilities. Thank you for sharing this Taylor. Oh . . . and I just subscribed, this was my first look at your fine channel ;) Oh, I just thought of two questions: 1.

    This is anecdotal, I cannot quote the sources. I am not a realtor. The bits & pieces I've read suggest that the highend property market in Kuala Lumpur is more on the over-supply side. However, it is far from a bubble burst. Generally, the economy is vibrant & is expected to grow fast, as with the region. For renters the prices may not be stagnant & is expected to grow. The building Taylor lives is so imposing. Surprisingly, the apartment is bright & cozy

    Very nice apartment. I think the retail lots are mainly to cater for the occupants there; but some units are for investment purposes and empty most of the time. They don't have enough consummers. Besides there are a lot of eating places nearby. It is good that you have a scooter so that it is easier to move around.
