- We take a trip into Thapusam to get a feel for the Hindu festival! It's an amazing one.
We were left truly lost for words a few times, infact I (Pat) didn't know quite how to act in some circumstances - which is unlike me!
What an experience though, Malaysia has some of the most amazing culture opportunities in the world.
Chinese New Year straight into Thaipusam! What an experience!
Thaipusam 2023!

We are Pat & Giulia, a couple from 🇬🇧 and 🇮🇹 living in London.
We decided to go travelling and ended up living getting stuck in Malaysia during 2020 which spurred the creation of this channel, we're now back on the road after a lengthy hiatus!
We're Malaysian and Indonesian enthusiasts who enjoy discovering spots off the tourist trail and don’t like taking ourselves too seriously. We're not here to be vloggers or to be famous, we're not necessarily here to "inspire" anyone to travel either - just enjoy the spontaneous fun of it, weird situations and of course making local friends.

Seharusnya kamu berpikir cerdas pakai logika dan utaaak. Kamu hanya sebut *china tiongkok/india Prindapan/melayu* saja ?? Suku *(Kadazan Iban Dayak Kedayan Bajau Murut Dusun lainnya)* dikemanakan apa perasaan mereka enggak disebut ?? *Patutlah Sabah Serawak* wajib Merdeka
@@suhanjayalian5044 benar banget bang, kadang2 mlangsia engga ada akal mereka taunya hanya China India Melayu ... merasa Kasian orang Dayak Iban dan sebagainya merasa ngga di anggap.
@@saynotodapigslimkitsial5770 Malasia mana ada utaaak untuk berpikir cerdas dan Berlogika (🧠 🐷) kalau mereka bijak dan pandai bernalar sebut semua kaum. *Sedangkan di Indonesia Bangsa Ideologi Nasionalisme Pancasilais tidak Pernah menyebut suku atau ras dalam acara apapun Karena akan bertentangan menimbulkan perpecahan Cukup satu Bangsa Indonesia* betapa bijak Cerdas Bangsa Indonesia dalam Berlogika dan berpendapat
@@suhanjayalian5044 Mantul Bang 🔥👍🏾 bener banget itu... Aku seringkali liat komen Netizen Malasia kalau ada perayaan besar atau berhubungan dengan identitas pasti selalu sebut komen netizennya ( kami Ada CHINA INDIA MELAYU ) merasa janggal aneh dengan jawaban itu 😂🤣.
@@saynotodapigslimkitsial5770 Itulah makanya warganya utaaakknya . (🧠🐷) ,,, makanya saya Terus ngomong *Sabah Serawak Merdeka dan Bca ini btapa kerdil cra berpikirnya mereka hnya sbut China India Melayu .. *(Bangsa Indonesia yg 750 Suku)* engga Pernah menyebutkan kaum suku di acara² tertentu Karena akan menimbulkan kecemburuan sosial. Makanya kita ada Ideologi Nasionalisme *(Kesetaraan Sederajat Keadilan Kewajiban Sama Rata dan Demokrasi)*

Good for you guys to have been in Malaysia during the time when the few biggest festive celebrations activities takes place almost around the same time.👍👍✌
- Those who were carrying the kavadis were in trance.
trance is otherwise referred to being possessed
Hi Welcome to Malaysia must visit genting highlands n Cameron highlands amazing weather ty
We've never been! Catch us down the kopitiams or scoffing down a roti canai instead, aha!
Another amazing experience for both of you!
Malaysia is full of it right? Need more of this!
First! How long will you guys be in Malaysia? Seems like you have visited more places in Malaysia than myself a local 😅
Loool! We try and get around! It's a good reason for being our favourite country in the world, can't leave a stone unturned!
Great to see you guys having a good time. The rain seems to spoil the evening though.
I think England is fantastic any time of the year. When I was there I never missed home!
Haha! I'm really impressed you feel that way, we need you vlogging around England and trying to improve our perception of it 😂
"The only good thing in England is the Premiership".... LOL .....One of best places to experience Thaipusam.... Yup, after 2 years of COVID lockdowns..... it was expected that the crowds will pouring in like never before.....Yup, another big one in JB , happening soon....The Chingay Parade which is more than a 100 years old event in JB.... . Pretty much a tradition for the Malaysian Chinese living in JB ...Anyway, hope you having a blast, take care mates!!
Lol! We'll probably swing by!
I like that Thaipusam, anyway i'm so sorry to make sudden appearance, cause there is 2 Cybertroll account, made by Jhoni Hartanto (one is "Suhanjaya Lian", and other is "Say no to Lim Kit Sial"), if you see any 2 of this oh and others like "Andree Orlando", please do not reply back, greetings from Pontianak City, West Borneo.
Thanks for the heads up Enrico!
@@VeggiesOnTouryou're welcome.
2:45 Not so busy because you were at the tail end of the festival so to speak. From about 11 am to 1 pm when I was there the place was jam packed.
Ohhh nice, shame we missed ya! We met a subscriber there though! aha!
@@VeggiesOnTour you didn't miss anything important. In fact, you would have dreaded the noise if you had gone earlier.
@@mariucahulubescu1328 If last year (2023) schedule is repeated - I think almost certainly - KTM Komuter train will run round the clock over 3 days and 2 nights specifically for the Thaipusam festival : on Thaipusam day and on the day before and after Thaipusam. Train frequency is every hour.
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
So much culture was shown of Malaysia or Indian Malaysia,truly enjoyed and i hope everyone did enjoyed as much as i did or even more.
Loved it!

You should stay until Hari Raya Aidilfitri...
Chinese ✅

Malay : Next 🤭🤭 23/3 we start fasting for a month and after that Hari Raya

Maybe we return especially for it yaaaa? We did it in 2020 but missed the festivities due to MCO! Who's inviting us to open house?! Haha! Looking forward to Lemang!
@@VeggiesOnTour nice!!!
முருகன் ❤
Acha hai😊
Wow tosay you are eating.
I think it's appam
We eaten dosai/tosays too but yes you're right it was appam! Good spot!
I hope you go try Nasi Lemak and Curry Laksa at BMS Organics cafe in KL. Best vegetarian hands down.There is one in My town mall KL.
Laksa is Kuah not curry
@@gsaonenessgsaoneness9147 Dah memu tu tulis Curry Laksa..Curry Noodle
@@gsaonenessgsaoneness9147 And Laksa refers to the Noodle Type. Curry refers to Broth Type.
We really like BMS! They have the best tea! I've eaten both of them, we did a veggie video in 2020 on it!
@@VeggiesOnTour 🙌🏻😋
Thaipusam is an annual Malaysian event. Famously celebrated on a grand scale at Batu Caves' Temple due to its proximity to KL & its much adored amazing limestone cave. Those "Kavadi" carriers need to "cleanse" their bodies before they can carry the "kavadi" & feel no pains from all the body piercings. A number of local Chinese Buddhists would participate in Thaipusam, too. Buddhism originates from India. Therefore lots of similarities in Buddhism & Hinduism.
Please delete comments from Suhanjaya Lian. This guy always give hatred comments in every channels about Malaysia. Indonesia is Indonesia. Malaysia is Malaysia. Every country has their own way/ideology how to shape the country. Don't try to 'Indonesianizing' Malaysia. Respect that.
Which English Premier League team do you support?
The nicest team in the Premier League! Can you guess which one that is? We don't have a firm and we're the oldest in London... 😏
@@VeggiesOnTour is it West Ham Utd or Fulham? I am going towards the latter... seeing that you mentioned nicest team. West Ham ain't nice... their fans are known for their notierity.
Wow! You guys visited CNY open house at Penang there as well. Very good and thank you. Next year on CNY Feb 12 visit our open house again........
PS Hari Raya open house this coming 22nd April. Feel free to join open house if you still in Malaysia
Would LOVE an open house invite! Who's planning on inviting us? Ha!
@@VeggiesOnTour As for me, its on CNY next year, but in Kuching if I may......
@@VeggiesOnTour The PM himself! No joke! 😊
Next Ramadan and hari raya Aidilfitri. Just one month left
It's on the list, waiting on open house invites 😅
Yeah mate, the only good thing about England is the Premiership and perhaps Harry Kane.
Harry bladdy' kane - I'm a Fulham fan! Haha!
Where are you guys staying in KL? Would be nice to cover the accom a little
And btw I'm Malaysian
We’re no longer in KL! Traveling around atm
Thaipusam, wow, some scary but amazing feats can be seen for that, not as gruesome as some of the things I have seen, beds of nails, people pulling things with hooks in their backs and the like. Not experienced it myself, only seen on TV
Lol! There was plenty of that mate, anything like this in Borneo? Kinda interesting vibe ya know 😂
@@VeggiesOnTour They do celebrate many things in Sarawak, obviously the main ones being Ramadan and Chinese new year, They also have their own naional day. They have the Gawai Dayak festival usually celebrated at the end of May or in the beginning of June where the first 2 days of June, The Kaul, which is an occasion celebrated by the Melanau community. It is usually celebrated around the middle of March or early in April. Pesta Meow, is a festival about cats and it is held in Kuching, the capital of Sarawak around November.There are also a few more Christians in Sarawak, so they celebrate Christmas and Easter too. They are the main ones I can think about, but there are probably more. Most gruesome thing you might see are the old skulls of hunted heads hanging in a longhouse. It is a very vast and colourful land, where old meets new. Quite different to mainland Malaysia in many ways, but also quite similar in many others.
Yes mostly vegetarian
Looks like it! Amazing!
The tipusum only happen now in Singapore and Malaysia. They don't do this in India where they are from.
Really?
@jehan c - You are mistaken and it's Thaipusam and not tipusum. The festival celebrates Lord Muruga and is celebrated in all temples in India that are dedicated to Lord Muruga. Especially what we call 'Aarupadai veedu' which means the 6 main temples of Muruga at Thiruchendur, Palani, Thiruthani, Palamuthircholai, Swamimalai and Thiruparangkundram.
Sorry, 😔 I repeat one of those words on one of the video of an Indian Malaysian who said that it is now not celebrated in India because of a ban by Indian government and that now only Singapore and Malaysia celebrate. So I am wrong. But I cannot find the video that said that.
Orang putih dan Mat Salleh 😅
Batu Caves (Gombak) under Amirudin Shari is something else... And one of my older sisters live there!
Wow, nice!
Firstly, who is Amiruddin Shari? And how is it something else under him? Did he relocate or redesign the caves? And your sister lives in the cave?
@@DP-zd8fr
1. Amirudin Shari is the current Menteri Besar of Selangor and he recently became the new MP of Gombak, replacing Azmin Ali on 19 November 2022
2. My older sister actually lives in an apartment that was built behind the caves
300k not 3million people. My estimate is 1.5m
Probably right
Isn't your first time joing this Hindu religion ceremony😮?
First time!
What a naive comment . Comparing thaipoosam to Chinese New Year
Two very different holidays, celebrated very closely together in time? What's the upset?
Well you sound like thaipoosam is superior to CNY and is beyond comparison. What's naive about comparing them?
Chinese New Year is bigger and grander than Thaipusam. But Diwali will be on par with Chinese New Year
Imagine the mountain of garbage after thaipusam
Lol! There were people cleaning it to be fair, it was nice!
Wahh banyak Juga orang Bangladesh di malangsia enggak nyangka Bangladesh begitu mendominasi disana, ini lah kenapa bangladesh adalah satu darah nadi jiwa serumpun dengan malangsia semoga semakin banyak bangladesh Prindapan disana tembus 10 juta jiwa kesayangan serumpun malasia 🥰🇲🇾🇧🇩
