I arrived in KL 3 May, found a budget hostel in a good central location (near Masjid Jamek in downtown KL): Le Village offers single rooms for 20 MR (3.75MR/US$), must walkup 2 flights of stairs, fans, shared shower/toilet, basic kitchen use. There are NO motorcycle rentals in KL. Light rail transit system is superb; tickets from 1-6 MR. Trick is to get to LRT stations...feeder buses run infrequently--and walking more than a few blocks is difficult.

Thanks, Owl. PJ was my fave area. My RE agent looked for months in SE area, and could not find anything in that price range. I also did not care for Rawang. So I went back to Penang...but prices there were ridiculous (think Chinese speculators) despite poor market after tsunami.

I return to Malaysia in Nov 05, and plan to visit Sabah. Was told residential properties there are more affordable (I;m on a fixed income). Would like to connect with experienced expats in Kota Kinabalu or surrounding areas. Rural land suitable for gardening appeals to me.
