- It felt great to put on a denim jacket :)
Malaysia just keeps blowing our minds away 😍
In today's vlog we check out a super fun suspension bridge, we visit the famous Desa Dairy Farm, and end the day in the insanely beautiful Kinabalu Park. This part of Malaysian Borneo is nicknamed 'the New Zealand of Malaysia' and even though we've never been to New Zealand, it felt that way. The state of Sabah is so stunning. We only wished we had more time to see more of Malaysian Borneo.
We hope you enjoy this random vlog lol - things didn't go as planned and the weather didn't cooperate, but we hope you still enjoy it.
Thanks so much for watching our videos! We will see you in Sandakan next 🦧🇲🇾
XO,
Aimara & Gordon

We have the best memories of Malaysia! 😍 It was nice to wear my denim jacket once while in Malaysia lol - weather in Kundasang was so fresh and the mountains are so beautiful!!!
❤thanks for coming to sabah
We had the best time and can't wait to be back ❤️
you guys so sweet!❤😍
To have a clear view of the Gunung Kinabalu, you must be there before 9am...
When Malaysian get to where denim jacket we feel kind of stylish like we see western folks on tv where their jacket denim or otherwise lòoking very cool😁
The little cows are adorable. Kudos Big G for driving on the other side of the road. I cannot wait for the Tuktuk adventures! Lets goo!
🥳 oh and......10k SUBSCRIBERS!!!!
He was such a trooper! You should see him driving the tuktuk here in Sri Lanka! He's my new hero ❤️ And thank you for celebrating with us GJ!! 🥰
Waah tempatnya cantik dan pemandangan nya luar biasa sabah Malaysia 🇲🇾
Congratulations for 10 k folowers! ❤
Thanks so much Sara! ❤️ Feels like such a milestone! We celebrated yesterday 🥰 Thank you for being here ❤️
BTW mount kinabalu is still the tallest mountain in South east asia, and the world's 3rd tallest Island Peak. Indonesia is an archipelago. It is not south east asia geographically. While i do admit the border between myanmar and china has higher peak than mount kinabalu at 5881m , myanmar is between South asia and south east asia. Debatable.
1. Irian jaya or Papua, oceanic south pacific
2. Hawai - mauna kea
3. Borneo - mount kinabalu
Such a nice place.. I love hiking and nature. It's really a paradise for me 😍
You would love it here!!! I bet you can hike Mt Kinabalu!! 🙌🏻
Kundasang brings back a lot memory.. we've been there once and the view are spectacular.. 😍
Yes ❤️ It's so beautiful! 🥰
Finally...this video is out.being waiting for this video.👏👏👏
Thanks so much for watching! Things didn't go as planned lol but we still had a blast! We know for next time, we have to give ourselves more time to see more and take it easy. Sabah has so much to offer 😍
and congratulations on 10K.. im sure you will reach 100k by the end of 2023!! 😍😍
Thanks so much Rahul! We sure hope so 🙏🏼🥰

You did really well driving on the right hand side of the road...not sure I could do such a great job!
hahaha thanks so much guys! You should see us driving a tuktuk (on the left side of the road) in Sri Lanka 😂 that's what we're doing right now 🙈

@@Yasin_Affandi gordon said desa coklat milk not that good, maybe not thick, he should try milo dinosour mamak for extra kick or kaw
@@muhammad11ali11 Yes, perhaps he could try that. One of my fav choc drink comes from Cadbury or Hershey 3in1 sachet. 😁
I give respect to you for driving in Malaysia! It seems like a death trap at times 😆
hahaha thanks! That's what we thought too, until we started driving a tuktuk in Sri Lanka... Malaysia was actually a breeze 😂
KUNDASANG 🥰
BEAUTIFUL 💚
WONDERFUL 💖
So beautiful and the weather was so perfect 😍
A very beautiful and peaceful scenery there at Kundasang..the weather is very nice and cool . thanks for sharing 😊
Yes! So peaceful and the air is so fresh 🥰
Kundasang so refreshing....
Beautiful Kundasang💕 would love to go jungle trekking or hiking there someday..Mount Kinabalu is too high for me tho😅
Oh we hope you get to visit soon! It's so beautiful and peaceful 😍 Mount Kinabalu is a little too high for us as well 😂
Great video presentations from you for our lovely kundasang dairy farm.
'driving on the other side of the road' that's going to be your new song soon, just kidding.
hahahaha 😂 that area of Sabah really surprised us! It was lovely!
Nice 👍 sharing beautiful 😍 place 😊
It's so beautiful ❤️
👍🤠Thank you for sharing video trip to kundasang, i wiil bring my family trip to the placed that you go soon.
That's amazing! Have so much fun :)
Hi my dear friend,,I’m from Malaysia 😊good to seeing you ❤enjoy your trip 😊
Hi :) Thanks so much! We love your country so much 🥰
Thank you for visited my country ❤️😊
It was our pleasure! We have the best memories from Malaysia!
i think you need to go mabul island at semporna sabah, the island is really beautiful with 4 stars resort 👍🏼
We did! We'll show it in one week :)
Happy holiday and welcome to sabah... I like kundasang, cool and peaceful... My suggestion if you want see the beautiful view of mount kinabalu, stay at kiram village mesilau kundasang and woke up at 6a.m and you will see mount kinabalu very clear..... Enjoy your holiday and safety always.... Done subscribe, i like your content👍👍👍
Thanks so much for sending this awesome tip. Wow I can't even imagine how stunning that sunrise must be. We know we will be back to Sabah, this for sure will be high on my list. I (Aimara) love sunrises ❤️
You are so brave to drive. I never drove in Canada or usa
hahaha and just wait until you see what we're doing next 😂 we're driving a tuktuk on the left side of the road for a month 😳
cool! i guess i will enjoy driving as in India we have left hand drive..
Yes :) 👍🏻
welcome to my hometown ranau.
Thanks so much! We had a blast! ❤️ So beautiful!
Welcome to my state. Glad you enjoyed this place. If you come in end of May, like 31st, you'd see our traditional beauty pageant and singing competition. Hope you had another wonderful time in Sabah 😁🎉
We've heard of this! Hopefully it will work out for next time :)
@@waysoftheworld_ it's alright. Maybe some day. Till then, happy traveling 🥂
Hebat friends,,,,im sabahan people,,im from ranau,ur are destination,,,
Go to Sarawak! We have a lot of interesting places to visit too!
Yes, we read... but we didn't have time 🙈 but now we know we will be back to Malaysia. There's so much to see and we love it so much ❤️
Best going to Desa Farm is early morning. Right at sunrise. So the cloud wont cover the mountain.
Oh I bet that must be one EPIC sunrise. Those mountains are so beautiful!! 😍
1:16 This bridge is the subject of a famous local folk song "Jambatan Tamparuli" - the Bridge of Tamparuli. Song of betrayal and lost love, of course... 😊
Love this story! :) Have to check out that song 🥰 but probably won't understand a word lol but still... 🙃
You guys didn't stop by Poring Hot Spring National Park with Canopy Walk? It just near by Desa Farm. You can use the same Kinabalu Park ticket to get in there. No need to buy another ticket.
If your head to Sandakan Sepilok, the Orang Utan sanctuary not as good as Lokkawi Zoo back in KK. You can see all the animals from elephant, tiger, orang utan, proboscis monkey to Sun Bear.
However, Sepilok Sun Bear & Forest Reserved are worth to go especially Forest Reserved to look at those super tall trees connected by the canopy walk.
Don't miss out Semporna Islands Hopping !!!! MUST ! XD
Hi :) Thanks so much for sending us recs ❤️ We didn't this time. We made the mistake to not give ourselves enough time there :( but now we know we will be back 🙏🏼 Sepilok was totally worth it in our opinion because of the beautiful setting and also we liked to support the nice work they're doing there :)
And yes, we went to Semporna and visited Mabul and the diving was out of this world 😍
@@waysoftheworld_ great!!!!!!! Fantastic!!!! So glad u guys have made the most of Sabah best to offer!!!!! Look forward to watch the next video!! 💛
Btw, still in Sabah or left already?
If you like water rafting class 3-4, you can go to Padas River. It is one of the best in the world.
Thanks for sending recs :) This sounds super fun for next time!!
Yeahhu coming to my home town
Thank youuu! We loved it 🥰
Hello, great video.. Is it raining season over there?
I didn't think so, but it does rain a lot in that area... 🙈 so you just have to be lucky!
Nice.. welcome to sabah😁
Thanks so much! We had the best time 🥰
Welcome! have a nice day 😊
❤
Omgg i wanna goo here 😭😭😭
It's so beautiful and the weather was perfect!!
Aimara, are you refreshing your memories from Triple M
You loved to feed the calves back then ❤
I still like it :) I guess that's why!
If have time, shd go to "pulau tiga park", they called it "survival island" as well, due to this is one of the island for the UK 1st survivor reality TV series
Oh this is cool. Thanks for sending us recs. We've never heard of this place. Now we know for when we go back 🥰
Hiking mount kinabalu is the ultimate activity to enjoy Kundasang..for 2 hours drive only to go for Desa Dairy farm to taste the milk, yogurt surely one of the silly things to plan and if lucky can see the so called 'New Zealand' view but else for foreign hiking mount Kinabalu is a must..rather than driving for only the view that only for morning enjoyment..
It's not that you can just hike Mt Kinabalu in a couple of hours lol - we had a great day anyways :)
Its daytrip dumbo, how do u expect them to explore whole kundasang in a day😑
We stayed at homestay next to Desa Farm
That must have been so nice! That area is beautiful 😍
there is an Alpaca club (animal looks like llama) not far from the Desa Dairy Farm
haha yes we saw it! We were dying to go but we didn't give ourselves enough time that day :(
Sabah is truly, truly under developed....the road, the bridges, the rivers are not well managed and abandoned....compare to the Peninsula....its all rustics....
The local leaders are not doing their job. If you want to keep it rustics....stay in the kampung or jungle..
11:40 That doesn't look like a mountain at all - more like a hill. Mount Kinabalu is over 4,000 meter tall guys - like those peaks in Colorado.
That was filmed from Kinabalu Park, which is 2,000+ meters up, and the gateway to Mt. Kinabalu. Also, from a low vantage, Mt Kinabalu looks somewhat like a plateau (similar to how it's depicted on Sabah's flag). So it's tall like the Rockies, but it doesn't have the same shape as most peaks in the Colorado. I'm 96% sure that was Mt. Kinabalu...
Even the dog is friendly
Yes ❤️
hi. i heard theres a steep hill road otw to kundasang. how was the experience? were planning on a trip too but woried about the hill
We had a small car and had no issues... we don't really remember the road, but we had no issues.
Hi guys 😊. I'm a new subscriber. Just a suggestion, it would be fun to add some bloopers at the end of your vlogs if you don't mind 😆.
Hi! Welcome to the WOTW fam ❤️ We have separate videos with all the bloopers lol - we will probably share one in the next couple of months... :) we promise you will laugh watching the old ones though! a lot happens when we're making these videos 😂
@@waysoftheworld_ Oh! That's great 😍.Looking forward for it. Have a wonderful time in Singapore 🥰
thank you ❤️
Hi. Thank you. See you.
Thanks for watching Hyde! Have a great weekend :)
luzon visayas Mindanao sabah forever 🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭
I thought you guys would be hiking up Mt. Kinabalu.😂😂😂😅
hahaha we're not really multi day hikers lol - and it was kind of pricey and we didn't have much time this time around 🙈
Can't beat Dutch dairy products!
hahaha that's true!
Did you enjoy our state of the art roads? 🙃
haha no not really - I was worried I was gonna pop a tire after hitting some of those potholes. But also... I've seen much worse 🙃
Is it the brown cows that produce chocolate milk? 🤣 Also, good to see Aimara is getting less afraid of cows since leaving those killer cows in Albania. lol
haha in Holland we call them 'chocolademelk koeien.' So, yes... they are the ones that produce the chocolate milk!! 🙂 Next you'll see Aimara at the running of the bulls in Pamplona 🙃
1. You used to drive on the "right" side of the road. Now you are driving on the "wrong" side of the the road
2. Mount Kinabalu is not the highest in SEA. It was once recorded to be highest before they descovered the more higher mountains in Myanmar.
It's more like 'right' and 'left' not 'right' or 'wrong' ;)
Kundasang, Sabah, the place where some of my Royal ancestors are from. I'm proud to be Sabahan Royal.
We had a great time ❤️
Can go glamping in kundasang
Oh that would have been nice! 😍
oh wow kinabalu park fee is so expensive 😅 I check the price turns out you paid for international price, hence RM 50. for locals only RM 10
Yes! The expensive price is just for us tourists lol - but that's ok. It was very beautiful ❤️
did you need an IDP? or was it ok because your license is already in english
we didn't need an IDP - regular US driver's license was fine. I'm not sure if things change if your national driver's license is in a foreign language...
@@waysoftheworld_ great, going next week based on this video and looking forward to it! do you recommend the car dealer that you used?
We malaysian tend to tske things for granted, but our road is not bad...not bad at all..but some of the bridges have to be raised above flood levels
Malaysia is a beautiful country. Not perfect, but no country is. Malaysia is special ❤️
Come to sarikei and Lubok antu. U will understand haha
The cows are from nz or dutch
@Keang Wooi Choo... can u drink chocolate milk? i think got lactose...gordon said desa coklat milk not that good, maybe not thick, he should try milo dinosour mamak for extra kick or kaw
Expensive to hike mount kinabalu about 450 usd.
Yeah and also it must be exhausting lol 😂 we're not really hikers 🙈
even a left side hand driving, the gas and brake are the same side... what's he on about?
We said it...
u doont like my hometown dairy chocolate?????????????? how daaaaaaaaarreee youuuu THE AUDAAACITY......YOUU GONNA PAY FOR THIS....nahh its okay, i appreciate that you being honest, but tbh i love their coffee flavor tho, my fav..
hahaha 😂 next time :)
As if doing the dance crossing the bridge...
hahaha yes 😂
wth 50 ringgit for per person that so expenive
Yeah it was quite pricey 🙈 Especially because we arrived way too late. We would advice people to get there early to enjoy it for longer :)
I think Sabah is New Zealand to me instead of Malaysia 😂
Great vid! A bit of correction, Mt Kinabalu is not the tallest in Southeast Asia. Think its ranked at 20-something tallest.
It’s the 3rd highest peak of an island on Earth, and 20th most prominent mountain in the world by topographic prominence.
You are erroneous. It is the tallest in South east asia as Malaysia is link to mainland South east asia unlike indonesia and Philippines which are island archipelago. In Papua there is a peak more than 5000 metres but that is oceanic in location. Know your geography.
And nepal is not South east asia where some dumb person mentioned to me
Mt Kinabalu is 3rd highest in SEA. You can't use google bro? How lazy can you be?
@@keangwooichoo6138 You need to check your fact, Keang. I just rechecked, Mt Kinabalu is #23 in Southeast Asia.
