0:00 welcome to a day in the life of a Canadian expat living in Malaysia actually my wife is not feeling well so I'm about to take her we're about to take her okay we don't have a car yet so the grab is about to take us to the doctor and show you guys a comparison what it's like here in Malaysia versus what it's like back home you guys do the comparison because I don't know where you're watching this from but um having gone last week with our one of our kids absolutely Blown Away by the difference between here and where we're normally from wait did I just say normally from that just sounds weird we're not normally from there anymore this is where we're from and we are also going to be taking the girls to the dentist so why not include that and kind of get the whole medical and dental all wrapped up
0:46 into one video Let's Go [Music] how you feeling all right I got dropped off at the wrong spot which is my fault to the left to the left but I absolutely love this place guys this is called Tamarind square and it's super cool and super beautiful I'll give you a little tour as we get going here I said give you a little tour but that's a lie because
1:32 this place is very large and very confusing but you get to see some of it they Incorporated up my nose Incorporated a whole bunch of greenery and green spaces here so it's super nice this guy's trying to get me to go in and eat but not having it one thing about Malaysia guys is that you will have every type of food you can imagine from the stuff that smells really really good to the stuff that just absolutely doesn't but if you're a Muslim pretty much Hal by default unless explicitly stated otherwise and if you're not a Muslim you get to eat a crazy amount of absolutely delicious [Music] food a why do we get the gross elevator which one are we
2:19 [Music] going one thing shoes off when you go to the dentist different but yeah that's a thing they don't like shoes and I literally have not worn shoe shoes for like 2 months and I love it yeah don't get bit uhoh it's moose it's like you're back in Canada can you put put your feet up and rock him that's a little extreme with the up
3:06 this guy got a little bit sad he doesn't like strangers can't blame him really well you come here look who show you the teeth come you want to see the teeth you want to go and see the teeth of the [Music] sisters so they're over here breaking the guy's jaw not as if as if the the braces weren't bad enough they're over here breaking his jaw hey this gives me PTSD why cuz I used to have this I it's not going to come off I used to
3:58 [Music] I manyan you got the blue ones very cool all right we're back at home now what can I say service is amazing um the kids had both the girls had a full orthodontic exam cleaning all that sort of stuff and it was 9900 ring it for both so depending on where you are punch that into your calculator and figure it out it's about $144 per kid um and yeah I didn't get to go with Sona to the doctor but I'm hoping she actually filmed what she was supposed to film all right successfully found an elevator that will take me down so I'm currently looking for the walk and this place is a bit of a maze so okay so one thing that
4:45 you always have to remember is um being Canadian which streak am I going to I think I'm going to one maybe I'm going to this one I guess so find out one thing you have to remember is can in healthcare yes it's free everybody always boasts about it it's so fantastic it's free everybody talks about oh it's free I literally don't even care if it's free I would pay out of pocket to get private healthare um if it's better because right now in Canada people are literally dying in emergency rooms because they're not getting the care in time CU there's huge weight lists um I think I'm on the right floor no I'm definitely not um um
5:31 there's huge weight list for everything if you want to see a specialist it takes you six months to see a specialist um if you want to see your doctor your family doctor you can't just walk into your family doctor and see your doctor you actually have to call them make an appointment first the calling part is like really big a big headache um oh my God I'm just like it's such a maze where am I this is so confusing um guys this is what happens when you you don't know where you're going like yeah it's not fun but um yeah so you have to call you have to make an appointment it's just a whole thing it's it's a big headache so yeah it's not fun I finally found it I kept going to the parking portion which is not where I was
6:17 supposed to go anyways I finally found the clinic so here you can there's 24-hour clinics everywhere which is way better than going to an emergency room and you can literally just walk in anytime and it's less than a 5 minute wait so yeah it's it's definitely a step up from North American Healthcare and yeah let's go inside the clinic and see what's wrong with my [Music] head okay that's it already in and out and it's only been 5 minutes I'm just now waiting on the prescription
7:02 which is also done by the doctor as well all right so it turns out she actually did film her part which is great um we're back home now it's starting to rain on me so I'm going to try to be brief here On's medical visit so she she got the cost of the doctor visit as well as the nebulizer treatment as well as the medication uh she got that for about $30 so like it's not that much uh back and and again she was in and out in no time at all which is a huge savings in and of itself because there's nothing more valuable than our time so yeah guys if you like this video give us a thumbs up give it a like here's at the same thing like this video comment subscribe if you haven't already and come along with our journey here in this beautiful
7:49 country that is Malaysia definitely it's definitely weird and interesting all at the same time for living here as opposed to living in Canada especially when at home it's in the negatives and there snow cold here always like 30° it'll rain for half an hour or an hour um and then the rain will stop and it's just beautiful very humid very hot it's definitely an adjustment and it's definitely something I wouldn't suggest everybody to jump into we'll get more into that in some later videos but for now guys take care thank you so much and yeah we'll see you in the next one [Music]
