Hi,
How did you get on with settling in KL? Any tips as I move there in December?

hi Theresa! PJ is quite a nice area.
i do understand that setting up is so overwhelming! if you need any help you can hire an expat service agency to help you move smoothly :)
i used asiaexpatguides.com when i first moved to malaysia from US and i'm quite pleased with the service.
hope this helps, and good luck with everything!

I'm just a bit flustered. I'm actually staying at the Hilton in PJ for the first week there. I'm not too sure about the second week yet. Thank you for your response. :)
So middle room is like the US equiv of a living room/ dining room area? How's storage like/closets?
What area is pretty centrally located, full of expats, american or not?
Thank you so kindly for your help
Kind Regards, Theresa Marie

Hi Theresa
Relax, u dont need to do everything in one day. :-)
Arrive.....and get yourself a hotel for about $20-30 a night ...no need to book, you will find one anywhere on the way, worst case scenario you'll be paying $40...all u need is a bed and a shower. Then grab your trusty laptop and see what u can find under rentals...rent for a month to see if you like the area. ..... Depending why you are moving here, walk into any of the larger banks and they will be more then helpful. Become familiar with the term "middle room"...generally most apartments have a bathroom in each bedrrom (similar to a hotel room" (shared kitchen and living room) and they are quite reasonable plus you make friends easily. Have a look about and move if u dont like the area. Easy..:-) cheers Eva
