Kuala Lumpur - Post Report Question and Answers

Knowing what you know now, would you still move to this city?

Definitely, I would extend or come back in a heart beat. - May 2022


Yes. - Aug 2018


Absolutely. If you've ever wanted to live the life of one of those digital nomad travel bloggers without actually quitting your job and losing your health benefits, come to Kuala Lumpur. There are so many holidays in Malaysia that you can travel the entire region on long weekends and never break into your vacation time. Feeling like a change of pace? Pop down to Singapore or up to Bangkok after work on Friday for the weekend, the flight will be under an hour and probably about $50 roundtrip. - May 2018


Yes, we will be very sad to leave. - Apr 2017


Yes. - Apr 2017


Absolutely. - May 2016


Nope. I'm glad I went for 6 months, but not being able to walk around freely (or even drive given the local driving style, left side of road, and roads that don't make a lot of sense), I felt very limited. Maybe if I had been there with a family, it would have been better. - Feb 2015


YES. - Aug 2013


Of course. I have traveled and lived in a lot of Asian Countries. Malaysia has both old and new. Other than rentals and hotel prices, vacationing or living in KL is by far better than in other Asian countries. - Aug 2011


Yes, but in large part due to AirAsia. - Mar 2011


No I don't think so. - May 2009


Yes, it is so comfortable living here. - Mar 2009


Yes, the social problems aside, Malaysia is an interesting country and most of the people ok. - Jul 2008


Absolutely. I would love to stay but there is no possibility of extension AT ALL if you are posted here. Don't even try it. NO ONE with the Department of State has been permitted to extend. - May 2008
