I have recently moved here on a permanent basis and am finding it really hard to meet other expats in my own age group. I am a really sociable, easy going person with a good sense of humour and an open mind so being alone like this for long periods without seeing any expats to have as friends is something I am def not used to. I am single and here by myself which makes it all the more harder. Please get in touch if you are interested in hanging out or meeting for a drink, till then.......Il be here. LOL

Hi Chris, welcome to KL! I hope you're settling in well. It's rare to hear anyone finding it hard to make friends in Malaysia. How abt those in your work place / living quarters?

Hey Chris,

I hear ya. Despite what people think, it is difficult for expats to assimilate to an extent, especially if you're not relocating with a family in tow and on your own.

Chin up!

Thank you for all the positive messages!!?

? ?It does indeed give me hope. I have met a Scottish couple who are amazingly awesome people who I seem to get on with very well so that has def been a huge life saver for me but stil hoping to meet more as time spent alone is time spent at home...........not really me

I work and live with mostly chinese malays and they have their own families to get home to etc, especially as they are all older which is also somewhat of an obstacle. Anyway, thx again for the msgs and advice and really hope this blog can continue to help me meet new ppl.? ?

Hi Chris, have you tried joining a group, I'm a Kiwi and joined MANZA which is Malaysian, Australian, NZ, maybe there's a group for South Africans or another type you'd be comfortable with. My husband does mountain biking weekly and there's an expat group that meet every week for touch rugby(some from America, england, australia and of course NZ). Try googling activities you enjoy doing and see what you get.?

Feel free to smile and have an eye contact in here Malaysia.

They will ask you where you form & they do not mean any harm.
You will get VIP treatment you can bet on that.

Keep practising how to smile(as you are doing it on your photo)and? they you have it,you would not able to live the country.

You will be deliriously happy/

Hey Chris ( And everybody else

Hope your friends department has been growing. If there is any vacancy I'm keen to hang out every now and then.

I'm moving to KL on Tuesday. I'm 28 and keen on finding some friends close to my age as well.

Briefly about me:
I'm from Norway. I'm pretty outgoing and easy to be around.
I like sports, mostly I have played Football. But I like doing lots of sports and activities. Looking forward to meet lots of people in KL and do some travelling and see what KL has to offer

Probably spending most of the week working, but I like to blow of some steam in the weekends with some beers or other social events.

Cheers.

Gunnar

Hi? everyone,
I guess an Expat-blog meet up would be a great way to make new friends.
To the new expats: Malaysian hospitality is great and in this multi-racial and multi-cultural country you wont feel lonesome.
