- One thing that we’ve discovered while be in Malaysia is that Malaysians are an extremely diverse group of people. Besides the ethnic Malay, Indian, and indigenous Dayak groups, Chinese immigrants have had a huge impact on the country.
So as we ride our KTM 250 Adventure motorcycle across East Malaysia, we discover the extent of the Chinese influence in Sarawak. And as a stunning and fascinating back drop to our explorations, we visit one of the largest Chinese Buddhist temples in Southeast Asia.

Nice video. Tim the way you make Marissa laugh is priceless. You have opened our eyes to Malaysia. A real treasure.
This is such an incredible part of the world to explore and I am so thankful to have such an amazing woman by my side!
Wonderful video.. love the Chinese area. You soulmates.. loved the bloopers.. astrology is interesting to me. But your breathing the was so calming leaving the caves and the music!!!! Just loved it too! Great choices. Stay safe until next time! Love you 2 ❤
Glad you enjoyed it! Thank you so much for all of the support!
My hometown Mukah. We have a big event on July 15th to 21th Mukah Traditional Kaul Festival.
I am sure that it is absolutely beautiful during the festival! It is a wonderful part of the world to call home!
That's what that Steely Dan song title means! 🎶 Sparkle in your China 🎶
🤣
another great adventure guys!
Mukah is the cultural heartland of Melanau ethnic group and were formally Animists (some elders still are 😅). they still have spooky remnants of the Totem/burial poles etc.
small suggestion tho, perhaps you can also show more interactions with the locals eg ordering meals, asking for directions or just some random conversations 😁
Great advice! Thank you so much for sharing!
Sibu Chinese - Foochow (You can read more on our history on the internet too) ; History wise, we are different from our counterpart in West Malaysia
We are loving every moment!
Chinese arrived in "nanyang" 600 years ago. Chinese junk reached terengganu in 14xx. There was no malaysia then. China called this part of the world "nanyang". They then set sail reaching the famous port of melaka. Therefore straits of melaka was used for the name of the straits.
👍 Great information! Thank you!
Hi you two, Tim the thing about the Chinese Zodiac animals is that it depends also on which year you were born, I too am a Gemini but I am a 🐰 Hare, which sort of fits "" bunny ,bunny, bunny, rabbit, rabbit, rabbit" 😉🤣
🤣 Happy Birthday Gemini brother!
Don't forget about the 5 Elements.
No, not that Fifth Element of Milla's fame.
The Wood, Fire, Earth, Metal, and Water.
Glad you guys made it to Sibu, though for a short while. Could have escorted you guys up to Sarikei. 😂
welcome to Malaysia, we always give you a space to do anything as long as it is within the rules but if you need help just ask a local. they will help you wholeheartedly.
We are loving our time here! Thank you so much for the kind words!
Another feature is the famous profile of Abraham Lincoln, which guards the southern entrance of the cave. Location Mulu National Park. Sarawak
We will have to check that out! Sounds very interesting!
The weird fish is called Flower Horn in Malaysia, fyi
Thank you for the information! We were trying to figure that out!
thank U....tim/marisa! I'm always enjoyed your video.... absolutely "OUR EPIC RIDE" ❤🇲🇾👍
Glad you enjoyed it! Thank you for riding along with us!!!
It was cool to see the folks waving to you from the window of the hotel. I would do that too if I saw you. Encountering the two celebrities from 2Up and Overloaded warrants a hearty wave like that. Peace from Eric , here in Connecticut. (precipitation, frustration, meditation, sensation, alienation, nation, celebration...) Was this helpful? By the way will you be touring in the U.S.?
welcome to Sarawak Borneo
Sarawakian💪
Thank you for the warm invite!
Mukah! Last I was there was in the early 90s... Majority ethnic there is the Melanau people. Shame that you didn't check out the Melanau village...
13:12 I think that fish is riverine fish so you wouldn't come across it if you were snorkeling in the sea.
I love that coastal road... and the ferries... They wouldn't be there probably by next year... The bridges would soon be completed.
It was another stunning ride here in East Malaysia!
Enjoy your vlog guys ❤❤❤
Thank you for riding along with us!
Great one
Thank you!
Laughing hard here guys!!!😅😅😅😅. Thank you so much for sharing your videos and laughs.
Glad you enjoyed it! We are so glad to have you along for the ride!
I really didn’t expect a shoutout but thank you so much.
So interesting story
We are loving every moment! Thanks for riding along with us!
Nice! Vid ends too soon. 😅 why I hv to binge watching this…
😅 We are glad that you are enjoying the ride along with us!
Thanks
Thank you so much for the support!!!
You are so kind!! This means the world to us!
That fish with a huge lump on its head is probably due to constant knocks on the glass of the tank 😆
🤣
Are you currently in West Malaysia? I thought, i saw you both near Langkawi :))
They are
We are currently in West Malaysia! But we haven't been to Langkawi.
Are you both planning to head up to Thailand? Anyway, best wishes from Michigan. We love your home state, and we also love chicago. When are you both coming home?
Mantap.. Keep it up bro 👍🏼
Terima Kasih!
@8:46 i was there 29/5/24. Same table
That’s awesome 😎!! Good food 🍲!
1982 and 1984
That's us!!! 🤣
@@2UpAndOverloaded oldies 😅
👍👍👍👍👍
😁
Great video thank you very well done as always thanks again cheers to ya.
Thank you! Cheers!
me too. I'm a Gemini and a dog year
Happy Birthday then! It had to have just past or is just about to happen!
Thank you 😊. Already past. Happy birthday to you too Tim
The temple has never been described as "Buddhist", has only a token representation of indigenous "Buddhism", is predominantly "Taoist". Then again, it has never been used for mass worship of either Buddhism or Taoism. You can't even get anyone to teach you anything about the rituals for the worship of either. There's hardly anyone who visits the place. The person who collected the funds for the building (one of several in Sarawak) is a local fortune-teller with his own cult. He is called the "Sun Deity"... Praise be, Alhamdulilah, and Amen! Oh! Beam me up too..!
There are many religions that all live together happily in this part of the world. We respect that a lot as that is not the case in so many different parts of the globe.
@@2UpAndOverloaded I won't know, I have only been living in the region. Beyond the propaganda, PR, and self-soothing words, I hear a lot of laments and complaints from both the mainstream and other religions. But then, I go beyond skin-deep when I travel... Cheers!
Ha,ha, after your epic venture into Niah Cave, hope you guys do not have nightmare dream of swimming in bat guano during your sleep 😂 ...
🤣 Thankfully not! But we have been spoiled by so many beautiful attractions that the creepy ones have merged back into the dark.
Hope once you reach Sibu, you will visit Christian Methodist. I mean lots of us here are Christian.
There are so many wonderful and diverse cultures here! It is so beautiful!
local original bornian race don"t like to call ourselves asian, the only call asian people is chinese and indian from india
Good information to know!
We're all "originally" from Africa!
Indeed! It is hard to divide the timeline of humanity.
Those are not chinese influence just chinese temple because there is chinese in Malaysia as they are not originally from south east asia.
👍
Huh.... not originally from South East Asia?
cough cough... 82, 84.. cough....
🤣 shhhh....
your title is a bit silly.. China has influence the entire region for thousands of years.. China is not just a country.. its a civilisational state.. what's your point..
They aren’t trying to make a point just an enjoyable video stop getting your panties in a wade go eat a snicker bar 😂
Why so angry?. It is their point of view as travellers. We can explain to them.
There are many cultures and influenced within Malaysia, currently and throughout the past.
Relax brother...why so aggressive, you said about "civilisation". Why not be civilised in giving response yeah... tak rilek la sorang ni
China its a little pink and da ma civilisational state. 😂😴😴😴😴😴😴😴. 😂😂😂
