Outline
This is a highly opinionated piece, coming from a digital nomad born and raised in KL. I have spent a few months travelling through Europe and Latin Americas, and I believe these are the key information you might want to know based on my experiences.
- Pros and cons of Kuala Lumpur & Malaysia vs our neighbours — We are boring in a good way
- Neighbourhood recommendations — If you feeling adventurous
- How to verify KL condos — Youtuber, discussion forums
- SIM cards — Buying a +60 number, and don't get ripped off by Airalo!
- Gettting & Spending MYR — Best bureau de change in the basement
- Foods — Bingo card to fully experience Malaysia
- Transportations — Taxi apps to download, good vs bad train lines
- Nightlife districts — Boring but safer
- Coworking spaces & Wifi cafes
- Healthcare
- Apps and websites used in Malaysia — Download them first!
