But I just spent two months in Malaysia with my beautiful wife

It was the holiday of a lifetime

but I am NOT going to call it a

maxi moon

Because then Andrea won't be my friend you can watch the entire

Trip on our

Malaysia playlist, but here are 10 semi random things

I learnt in Malaysia number one. There are no floor numbers 4 or 14

4 is an unlucky number in many Southeast Asian countries mainly because the Cantonese version is near homophonous with the word for death

Many buildings just go one, two, three

3 A, five. Number two the country has very

separate

ethnic groups

And they don't all speak the same language even within those different groups

There are many

different dialects and they don't necessarily understand each other the Malay language

Has ten dialects. The Chinese has seven and the Indian has six

Instead they often converse

cross-culturally in

English with a smattering of The B'hasa Malaysia, which has many words that are really really similar to English, it's quite amazing to experience

Number 3 always carry tissues always if you're a person who needs to use the toilet ever

By which I mean, a person, you will thank me later

Number Four - be brave and try

Every different dish you can get your hands on especially from the roadside hawker stalls the most

Delicious food was always found in the most

unassuming of places

I am now obsessed with chakra tower and I ate it at least once a day

Occasionally twice or that one time I ate it every meal. Number 5 - wear bug spray all the time constantly

Just do it. You don't want to die

Number 6 - The heat makes your hair and nails

Grow incredibly quickly I have never had to trim them quite so much

My hair is much longer than it normally would have done after 2 months, and I did have to trim these nails every week

Number 7: if you're holding a camera *sighs*

At least 5 different men will stop and ask you if you need help every time

Number 8 - Don't step on the grates on the pavement you may just fall through...everytime

Don't get your cane don't get it stuck in a grate. Number nine- on the subjective pavements they follow

no, rhyme or reason. They don't have a

regulatory height width or condition these pavements in front of each different shop will be

Entirely different, and I hear toys have steps to help you get in between

You're in a wheelchair think of it as

off-roading or just stick to the road. Number 10 - money is

beautiful

colorful

and confusing. The central bank created new notes and coins in

2012 this is the fourth series

But the previous series is still around maybe that's due to there being so many

Roadside stalls and traders who don't necessary then take their money to the bank to be taken

back in

We were given notes and coins from the third series

And I'm pretty sure maybe some from the second because they were just odd. That's the third series from

1996 and the second series from

1982 as such the old one looks more like the new 50 then it does the new one

confusing if that's in your purse and

Both of these are accepted as 20 cents

Also there is no 1 cent, so shops just round up or down, but yet, they still price things

like

68 cents they know you just have to give them 70. Why? they know you have to give them 70 I know that'll be one

and finally

Malaysia is a beautiful beautiful country. It is full of the absolute

warmest people and we never felt anything but

Sincerely welcomed being there for two months was a wonderful experience that we will never forget

Things will be going back to normal on the channel now however

I'll be releasing two videos a week or three if it's a special week

Or I just have a lot to say. They'll be chats about disability, some hair tutorials, vintage clothes things

fun and games of my beautiful wife and lastly puppy dogs and

maybe some educational stuff because I

Find learning fun. First, I will finally get around to making the style swap with Claudia. I'm not entirely sure

Who the loser is there?
