i am Brian wellingthon please can any one tell me more about the weather and more about life in malaysia

Hello Brian. Welcome to KL.

We only have two seasons here, rain and sunshine so you may carry small umbrella in your bag. Humidity is high so carry lotsa cotton wear. English is widely spoken and understood but learn local bahasa malaysia too. Always carry cash when buying at small stores because we are traditional like that.

We are peaceful people and as long as you are respectful, you're going to feel at home. Good luck.

Hello Amara. Warmest welcome.

Hi, I am Md Monir Hossain from Bangladesh. i arrived Malaysia 7th months back. its pleasure to me to get in this forum.

Hello! And thanks for starting this thread. I’m an American living in Ipoh and working as an English teacher. Spent about 1 year in and out of KL and last December landed a 2 year contract. I love Ipoh for many reasons but am craving conversation with native English speakers. Most people here  speak the language but on a basic level so I m constantly modulating my speech (vocabulary and speed). It’s awesome that everyone here speaks several languages, but I just wanna gab with someone who’s fluent once in awhile and who also ‘gets’ Western culture. If this makes sense to you, I’d love to meet for coffee sometime and we could swap stories.

Hi everyone. I've been to Malaysia a few times, quite like the people, culture, cleanliness, food, sceneries, etc. Currently, living in HCMC. Thinking of moving to Malay with my big dogs for a few months. I'm thinking of a quiet place in Penang where not too crowded.

Hello, Everyone, I am from India and want to explore Malaysia. Whatever I have heard and/or read about the country; am constantly falling in love.
I am focusing to shift permanently to this country and before that thought to let's make few friends via this portal.
It's great to e-connect with you all.

Hi Susan,
I am living in Melaka also teaching English and have been here for nearly two years. I know what you mean about having someone to chat to and I love coffee. Do you go to KL at all?

Hi Susan,

I'm originally from Ipoh but live in the US! I'm back for a couple of weeks on holiday though so if you're up for it, we can swap stories anytime.

Cheers,
Meg

Hi everyone,

I’m Steven.
Me and my wife Sarah would really like to move to Malaysia. Prefferably KL. We’re currently on a trip throughout SE Asia and are in KL right now for a few more days. We’re trying to figure out the best way to move here. I’m a designer with about 8year of experience and my wife is a social worker with a Bachelors degree. If anyone has any tips or advice that would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

Hello.  We are "almost" retirees from Colorado, USA, and planning to move to Malaysia the end of the year.  We are very much looking forward to this move and have made several trips to Penang and feel it is the right place for us.  We are looking forward to meeting other expats and because we have a love of animals, dogs at the top of the list, we hope to volunteer with the 4PAWS organization.  We have done a fair amount of traveling in SE Asia but hope to visit more countries that we have not yet been to and return to visit others that we have already ejoyed.  Looking forward to meeting other expats in 2020!  Dean and Diana

Hi Guys

Hi Everyone

I am from Singapore but have been living here for more than 10 years.  I am a retired Performance Coach but still take time to do some CSR work.  It would be nice to meet some of you later in the next Meeting but I will be leaving for Belgium for 2 months in 2 weeks time and will also spend 12 days in Croatia as part of my Travelling "to new places".

Cheers!

Hi Senyoka

Ipoh is basically a small town and a lot of people have "migrated" to the larger more urban Kuala Lumpur, but Ipoh still has maintained its charm.  If you need to find someone or people who are fluent and speak grammatically correct English, try heading to Ipoh Club, situated along Club Road located near the Railway Station.  That's basically started off as an "expatriate club" but has taken to locals now. 

Not sure if they had changed the name to Royal Ipoh Club but you cannot miss it if you drive along Club Road from the Railway Station towards St Michael Institution, it is on your right hand side just before SMI (St Michael Inst).

Hello, I'm Rene Mohammad, a native Malay Malaysian and also a Malay tutor.
I love nature.. What makes Malaysia, truly special is our country’s natural beauty. For 130 million years, to 248 million years, the prehistoric and the oldest tropical rainforests in the world and mangrove forest. Last week I just came back from Pahang National Park (Northern Malaysia). I found a huge, tall and handsome "Meranti" tree! And also another gorgeous and beautiful animals! What an amazing experience! I always welcome and so proud to bring people who like to explore the nature. I know a lot of you love nature too.. Let's talk about it! let's talk about it!
