Going to KL really changed my perspective about Western cities being the best ones. What I loved about KL was people. Everyone's very nice.
-
I've done both Dubai and KL. KL is underrated, and Dubai way over rated
-
As a Canadian I consider Malaysia the best country to live in the world. Food, people, cultureā¦ all is perfect for me ā¤š²š¾
-
I am a single western woman. I travelled to KL and Malaysia/ Indonesia independently. No issues at all.
-
Itās not just the Expats that praise Kuala Lumpur. There are other experts and other individuals that really love the city. So thank you for going into depth about the city
-
I am a Malaysian, used to nomad throughout the Americas and Europe. Yeah KL is pretty fucking awesome.
-
I like KL. I make the trip at least once a month from Saigon and find it a nice place to visit and yearly med exam. Sorry, Bangkok, I go to KL now!
-
KL is one of my favorite destinations. Day and night its an exciting place. low crime, fun, great food.
-
Been in KL for 2 months now. I like that KL is essentially a modern city but still kinda has that old town southeast asian city feel. YouĀ“ll have big skyscrapers, 5 star hotels and supercars zooming around but at every corner is a cheap as peanuts foodstall or market where you donĀ“t pay silly prices to get a full meal. Also thereĀ“s essentially 3 cultures in one city; Malay, Chinese and Indian, I have never seen diversity like this in a city before.
-
After spending two months in Kuala Lumpur, I can definitely say the pro's outweigh the negative. I'll be back again!
-
I have been living and working in this amazing country for more than 8 years and i keep falling in love with it day after day. ā¤
-
I was there last year and was delighted by how sweet the people are! And for anyone looking to retire on a fixed income, you can have all the amenities for 1950s prices.
-
Iām a big fan of KL - great people, very safe, very good value, and just big enough to have plenty going on but not so big itās overwhelming. Traffic can be bad and the humid climate isnāt particularly to my liking but still I would have no hesitation recommending it. Iād happily relocate there myself if the right opportunity came along.
-
so glad to see malaysia being mentioned more. i used to live in the UK and I dont miss itš Most locals enjoy living in KL and malaysia in general, the only problem is lower wage for the locals unless youre in IT / Tech sector
-
As someone who travels to Asia frequently everything you mention about KL is 100%. A lot of people I know don't pick Malaysia as a HubSpot to visit but once they experience the culture and landscape of the country their perspective changes.
-
Iām going there next week to see if itās a place I could retire in! Canāt wait.
-
One of my favorite countries in the world, something there makes you feel you are welcomed. I am glad to see a westerner highlights how the west is not how it's marketed on mainstream media and organizations Great video
-
What a wonderful view. It's always good to hear the pros and cons about living in KL, Malaysia, especially when it comes from the Nomad Capitalist.
-
Nice thing about living anywhere in Southeast Asia are the cheap and quick flights to all around Asia. You can truly have a weekend escape and be in a totally different world just 3 hours away. Plus KL has all of the Western amenities you want.
