00:00I'm from Indonesia, my name is Lala.

00:29Two days ago, I arrived here and it was very fun.

00:33Now I'm in Malaysia, so I'm happy.

00:36I don't really get the vibe of a traffic jam.

00:41I feel like it is clear enough for me to travel.

00:44I mean like it's fun to travel here.

00:46I don't really feel bothered of the long journey everyone else is experiencing here.

00:55So I feel like it's fine.

00:58I've been to several places.

01:01The most mesmerizing thing is probably the river of life because I know the philosophy.

01:09So I feel like that's very wonderful.

01:12My name's Oli and I'm from England.

01:15Well actually we're here to see Freya's sister who lives here.

01:19And we're just doing a bit of a tour of the Far East as well.

01:23So Singapore, Thailand.

01:25So yeah, it's just something different for Christmas time, you know, tropical heat.

01:29We've done quite a lot.

01:30We've done a tour around Chinatown, which was really interesting learning about the history.

01:35We've been out to a jungle, to a little resort there.

01:38And we've been at the new building, the 118.

01:42Been up there for the view and a drink.

01:44And today we're just coming to the Petronas Towers.

01:47Might go to a rooftop bar again.

01:49So it's quite a different Christmas day for us.

01:51Alina.

01:52My name is Alina.

01:53From Romania.

01:54Yes, I travel in Australia to my cousin.

01:57I will be there tomorrow morning.

02:00And I'm very happy because I had the first time I was a little scared.

02:05I have 15 hours here, but now I'm very happy because I had time to go and visit the city.

02:13This, it's, wow.

02:16Can be a little sad time because I'm not with my family, with my kids.

02:22But I have this chance, let's say, one time in my life to travel so far.

02:29And I said I will not miss this opportunity.

02:33And my kids, they understand because it's so far, you cannot travel just one week.

02:41So I have three weeks for this experience.

02:46I have three weeks of I am no action.

02:47And I'm terribly happy, too.
