j'ai l'opportunité de faire un stage à KL en octobre 2009... et comme je viens de l'apprendre, je suis en train de chercher le maximum d'info sur la vie à KL en express!!! Je souhaiterai savoir svp le coût de la vie à KL : au niveau logement, nourriture, transport ? je voudrai savoir quel budget moyen il faut envisagé svp. est-il conseillé de prendre les transport en commun ou il fait une voiture? si oui mon permis français est-il valable? au niveau des logements, la colocation est-elle répandue? pour une fille est ce une ville plus dangeureuse qu'une autre? mon stage devrait durer 3 mois (minimum)
Il n'y a pas de danger à se balader dans cette ville le soir entre Chinatown, le golden triangle et little india. Les malls géants sont ouverts jusqu'à minuit...
Côté logement, les guesthouses ont des tarifs qui démarrent à 50RM (10€) mais le logement reste cher dans le centre-ville.
Pour la nourriture, l'indice Mac Donalds est le suivant : 6RM pour un menu Mc Chiken.
Il y a tous les prix entre les plats indiens ou chinois à 3-4RM et les cafés branchés à 20RM...
Pour les vêtements, tu trouveras tous les prix pour t'habiller (les prix commencent à 6RM, soit 1, 2€ !).
Les transports en commun sont très efficaces et permettent d'éviter les embouteilllages (monorail, skytrain, KL Ekspress) à des coûts raisonnables (hors KL Ekspress).
Tout dépend ensuite de ton lieu de travail (KL est une ville très étendue).
Démarre avec une base de budget de 30€ par jour que tu pourras diminuer en passant en location ou en négociant un tarif longue durée dans une guesthouse/hôtel.
Le climat est chaud et humide toute l'année mais la climatisation tourne à fond !
merci beacoup pour toutes les infos, ça maide bien!!
aparement pour le logement ma boite maide, donc je suis en train de voir avec eux en quel sens.
est-il facile d'y ouvrir un compte bancaire ou pas ? car je trouve ça plus pratique.
Bonjour alia
Nous on est arrivé à KL début septembre pour 3 ans, ma femme est enseignante au lycée francais et moi je m'occupe de notre fille, on habite à Mont Kiara.
Tu dois être arrivé à Kl depuis ton message et tu as du découvrir la vie sur place.
Je pense qu'au niveau transport, tu n'as pas de souci à te faire, les taxis sont trés sure.
La soeur de ma femme recherche un stage de 6 mois à partir de Février à KL en com ou marketing, elle est en 3ème année de l'EGC, aurais tu des infos ?
A trés bientôt

La Malaisie est en voie de gagner son pari de devenir un pays industrialisé en 2020, comme l'a fait la Corée du sud il y a quelques années.
Le niveau de vie reste abordable même si à KL on arrive à des prix européens dans les bars du "golden triangle" où se trouvent les malls les plus luxueux. On y fait de bonnes affaires en vêtement et électronique mais on ne trouvera pas beaucoup de "souvenirs".
KL est une ville dynamique et démesurée, mais elle reste assez aérée avec des poumons verts. Tout le centre se visite à pied et les transports en communs sont bien développés. Avec Air Asia, on peut aussi visiter les autres pays.
La mixité malais, chinois, indiens illustre la tolérance entre races et religions et permet de profiter d'une offre culinaire variée même si on mange moins bien qu'en Thailande...
Le moins de cette ville est certainement son climat chaud et humide avec 3 mois de mousson et une humidité toute l'année (il reste un morceau de jungle au pied de la tour de télécom !). Les côtes Est et Ouest ont une mousson décalée, ce qui permet de toujours trouver un coin sympa et il y a des stations climatiques dans les collines.
je te remercie de ta reactivite, cest fort appreciable.
Je vais ten dire un peu plus pour que tu comprennes ce qui mammene ici.
Je suis actuellement volontaire dans un orphelinat en republique dominicaine, jai monte une bibliotheque et je suis professeur de francais.
Jai etudie pendant 7 ans le marketing et ai travaille deux ans a lille mais javais dautres aspirations. Maintenant je souhaiterais avoir une certification comme professeur de francais pour pouvoir enseigner a letranger alors jai decouvert un diplome via le cned et je pensais que je pourrais etre au pair et etudier a distance. Cela mest apparu comme un excellent compromis me permettant de poursuivre mes aspirations.
Jai actuellement une offre en australie et surement dans quelques jours en malaisie. Je suis allee seule en inde il y a 2 ans et ce fut comme tu limagines une revelation. alors je suis mon chemin.
Ce quon moffre en australie, a melbourne, est plutot attrayant mais je trouve tout aussi fun detre au pair en malaisie le seul hic est que jai quelques reserves sur kuala lumpur... ce que jadore cest me balader, partir en randonnee, emmener ma tente, visiter des lieux insolites, sortir, rencontrer des gens et partager avec eux, pouvoir bouger... la decision est tres difficile dautant plus quici les connexions internet sont plus que mauvaises et je travaille plus de 10 heures par jour 11 jours daffiles alors cest un chouilla complique et ce que jattends cest quon puisse maider implicitement dans mon choix...
jaime la difference, le fun, laventure, rire et profiter de la vie un max....
si tu as des recommendations, un discours pro malaisie...
Bonjour tout le monde! je m'aperçois avec bonheur que je ne suis pas la seule à etre tentee par la malaisie!
Je profite donc de l'occasion pour demander moi aussi des renseignements sur la vie à KL. J'y serais normalement en mars pour un stage de trois ou quatre mois. Je me demandais si trouver un apart ou mieux une coloc est facile ou non, quel est le cout de la vie, quel est le style de vie, ... enfin plein de petites questions que l'on se pose avant de partir à l'autre bout du monde!
Pour répondre à Julie qui hésite avec Melbourne, j'y ai vécu trois mois et j'ai adoré!!! si je n'avais pas cette attirance si forte pour l'asie du sud j'y retournerai sans hésiter!!! après cela dépend de tes préférences, je ne connais pas du tout la Malaisie et j'espère bien pouvoir faire des visites, randonnées... choses que j'ai pu faire à Melbourne et ses environs!
Merci pour vos futures réponses!!!
Hélène😉
je suis actuellement en licence pro commerce international et je souhaiterais faire mon stage de 5 mois (Mars à Août 2010) en Malaisie, dans le domaine de l'import export, marketing international ou transport international.
J'aurais aimer savoir si quelqu'un aurait des contacts sur place??
Bonjour,
dans le quartier des Tours Petronas, c'est pas mal, assez animés et proche de tout. L'hôtel Istana est pas mal, le royale chulan ou encore le Summum du summum : Traders Hotels.
Voilà , mais si tu as l'occasion de bouger de kuala lumpur, il faut aller dans le nord de la Malaisie vers les îles car les plages sont magnifiques!
bon voyage,
Alia

My name is Deborah, I’m French. I’m married and have two children. I’m a clinical psychologist specializing in psychotraumatology, and I’m also pursuing medical studies.
For some time now, I’ve been seriously considering moving to the United States. My long-term goal is to practice medicine in the U.S., with a particular interest in forensic pathology. I know the journey is demanding (USMLE, residency, fellowship, etc.), but I’m ready to commit to several years of hard work.
For now, I’m focused on building this project thoughtfully. I want to improve my English, better understand the American system, and connect with people who’ve already gone through this process or are living in the U.S.
I have a few questions:
- Are there any doctors or international students here who’ve successfully matched into a U.S. residency?
- When did you start preparing for the USMLE?
- What advice would you give to someone still in medical school?
- Which states would you recommend for a future career in forensic pathology, with a good quality of life and good schools for kids?
- Is it better to do an observership or a research fellowship before applying for residency?
- What are, in your opinion, the pitfalls to avoid when planning such a project?
Thank you so much to everyone who takes the time to respond. I’d really appreciate any advice or experiences you can share!
Hi everyone, my son’s school is offering him a one-month Erasmus trip to Ireland, but he has to find a junior cycle school that will accept him and a host family on his own. Honestly, we’re struggling—we’ve contacted two schools and haven’t heard back! If you have any leads...
What price should I expect to pay for a modest small apartment or a large room in a bedroom community in Quito? Are restaurants and food expensive? And which airline is best to travel from Montreal? Thanks for your answers
I’m considering moving to Miami to live and work for a few years.
If anyone knows what the administrative formalities are—both for getting a work permit and for the steps and reputable organizations to contact (since I imagine there are scammers in this space) when buying a studio in Miami or Miami Beach—I’d love any info you can share!
Hi, I was wondering if anyone has already had the experience of working abroad?
I don’t have a specific country in mind yet, so I’m open to hearing about your experiences on this topic—the pros and cons, etc.
Hi there!
I’m a young Malian looking to work in Morocco. Besides a passport, what other documents are required at the **Moroccan** border?
Thanks for your help!
Hi there. I’m planning to move to Luxembourg around December 2025 or January 2026. I’ll be looking for a job and settling in. My question is: is it too complicated to find housing? Is the job market more advantageous and easier than in France? I’m open to any information that could help me.
Thanks in advance for your advice.
I’d love to hear your thoughts and experiences about marrying a Cuban and moving to Cuba (not the other way around!). Yes, some of us actually *want* to stay on the island! Is it possible to work there without too much hassle, or is it really complicated?
I’m heading to Bangkok for a 5-month internship, and I’m wondering about the budget because I’ve read all sorts of things—so I decided to post here to get answers tailored to my situation! :D
I found housing that costs me 7,000 baht (I know it’s a bit pricey, but it’s super convenient...), which works out to about 160 € all-inclusive. So, I was wondering if it’s realistic to live on 500 or 600 € per month, and if so, under what conditions? Is that enough, considering I’ll be working 40 hours a week?
Thanks in advance for your replies—I hope they’ll reassure me!
WEP offers loads of different projects, including one I really like: helping and volunteering on a farm, particularly in South America (Peru or Argentina).
I’d love to know if anyone has tried this project or knows someone who has... or has done something similar? I’d like to get some feedback before diving into the adventure.
If so, could you share your thoughts on the project, any tips, etc.?
Hi there,
Our departure time is getting closer (we have less than 2 years left—it’s both a long time and so short!). To start preparing seriously, we’ll need quite a bit of info. If anyone knows the rates charged by movers for a crate to French Polynesia, or what pitfalls to avoid (I know you can get quotes directly from movers, but I’d love insights from actual customers😉).
Are there any special requirements before leaving France (aside from taxes...)?
Thanks to everyone for your help—every bit of info is useful. We’re aiming for a departure around 06/2010 (just need to save up a little more...).
Thanks again!
Hi, I’m a self-employed physiotherapist in France, and as my wife (a nurse) and I look into working abroad in about two years, I’ve been offered an equivalence to become a respiratory physiotherapist in Switzerland. Actually, I’m currently doing a postgraduate diploma in pediatric respiratory physiotherapy and want to specialize in that area. Anyway, that’s not the main point—could anyone explain the pros and cons of doing this job in Switzerland? Based on the paperwork I’ve received, the equivalence seems purely administrative or almost... What about working conditions, quality of life, salaries, etc.?
Thanks for your replies.
PS: Same question for my wife, a nurse, regarding her integration.
I’m looking for information about jobs in early childhood in New Caledonia. I’m currently a childminder in a MAM (multi-accueil) and I’ve also worked for about 6 years in several daycare centers as a childcare assistant.
In the summer of 2026, my husband is being transferred to New Caledonia. We’ll be living near Nouméa. Do you know if the early childhood sector is a good field for jobs there?
Can’t wait to discover this island! Right now, we’re in the middle of all the administrative paperwork for our 3 kids, finding housing, bringing our cat to the territory, and so on!
Thanks for your feedback!!
Hi there,
I’ve been living in Bali for a month now, but unfortunately on a VOA visa. I’m looking for a European company that’s set up in Indonesia. I’m in electrotechnical maintenance—air conditioning, cold rooms, 220V/380V electricity. I’ve been a tradesperson for 3 months and can bring my full professional toolkit. If anyone’s interested, let me know!
You can send me a message.
Best regards,
I’d love to go to Japan to travel, and if things go well, work there too.
Has anyone tried finding a job there? Is it even possible without speaking Japanese?
I’m thinking of starting out in restaurants (dishwashing or serving) and then moving into my field, IT.
I’d like to move to Spain, specifically to Málaga.
To do that, I’d like to know if I’ll need any official documents from France to work there, or anything like that...
I’d also love to hear from people who’ve moved to Spain for work—do Spaniards like the French? Is it hard to fit in? What are the salary ranges for a ready-to-wear salesperson? And is it easy to find housing?
My partner and I currently live in Antibes—we’re both freelancers working remotely. We’re thinking about potentially moving to Italy.
We’d like to settle near the French border, between Ventimiglia and San Remo (this is important because we need access to Nice Airport twice a month). ✈️
I’d love to hear about life in this region! We’re looking for a quiet spot close to the sea. Any recommendations? As for the paperwork, is it difficult to get everything official? Is finding housing tough in this area? What kind of guarantees are usually required? If any kind soul could shed some light on this, we’d really appreciate it! 🥺🏻
I'm looking for an au pair who'd like to come to Bournemouth in the south of England, and I'd love to know what the best websites are to find one, please.
I’d like to get some information about my eligibility for the DV Lottery.
About my background:
• I earned a *Bac Pro* through VAE (*Validation des Acquis de l’Expérience*), issued by the *Éducation nationale*.
• I also have a professional certification as a *Conseiller en Insertion* (Employment Counselor), issued by the Ministry of Labor.
• Altogether, this adds up to a *Bac+2* level.
I’d like to know if this level qualifies me to apply for the DV Lottery.
Regarding my work experience:
• I work as an *Employment Counselor*.
• I checked on O*Net Online for the classification: Job Zone 4, SVP Range: 7.0 – <8.0.
• I only have one year of experience, but I handle similar tasks in business creation.
So my question is: can I apply for the DV Lottery despite my relatively short experience, given that my job falls under Job Zone 4?
I’m looking for info on villages around Aix, like Fuveau, Bouc-Bel-Air, or even Éguilles and Venelles?
We’re a couple with a child living in the Paris region, and I’ll be relocating to Aix-en-Provence in spring 2026. We’d love to swap our apartment for a house with a pool within 20-30 minutes max of central Aix, with a budget of around 650k €.
In terms of climate and geography, I’ve read that Aix is in a basin where it can get really hot. What about the surrounding villages that are a bit more elevated, like Venelles? Is it just as stifling?
Starting this spring, we want to settle near Aix-en-Provence. We're tired of living in the mountains with all the snow—we really need some sunshine and a fresh start. Is it hard to find a house to rent there? What about prices? If you have any great tips or useful info about the area, we’d love to hear it. I work in education and want to do prevention work in Marseille or Aix—are there jobs in the social sector?
Anyway, we need tons of info, but we’re sure we’re going to take the leap—no hesitation, adventure is adventure!!!
Thanks for your help and any experiences you can share.
I’m an osteopath and I’d like to set up and open an osteopathy practice in Thailand. I don’t have a precise location in mind yet, but I’m thinking maybe Hua Hin.
I saw there’s an osteopath based in Phuket, so I wrote to him for some info, but he still hasn’t replied🤪!
So I’m reaching out to people who live there or know the country well:
I’d like to know what the best ways are to advertise and get known in Thailand. Are there any local classifieds newspapers?
First, I’d like to practice from my apartment. Is that allowed in Thailand?
Ideally, I’d like to work part-time in a private hospital as an osteopath. I’m thinking that in Thailand, the medical field is much more open than in Europe!!! Has anyone seen an osteopath or chiropractor working in a Thai hospital? Do you know the price of a consultation?
Any info you can share will be super helpful! Thanks in advance[;)!!!]
Hello everyone,
We’re a small family from the south of France, with a 2-year-old little boy, and we’re dreaming of starting a new adventure abroad by opening our own business. For now, we haven’t chosen a specific destination yet.
We mainly speak French, with a basic level of Spanish and English, and we’re ready to improve these two languages if needed. We’re looking for a multicultural, safe country with quality healthcare and good schools accessible for our son. We’d also love a pleasant place with a mild climate where life is good.
Our idea is to travel to different countries to explore, compare, and refine our project. We’d be really happy to read your tips, experiences, or anecdotes if you’ve already undertaken a similar project or if you know key points to anticipate.
Thanks in advance for your shares and help—it would really help us move forward with our project! 😄
Hi everyone,
I’m heading to Dublin as an au pair in a few weeks.
I’m looking for a reputable language school. It’s so hard to choose! Has anyone already done a language stay in Dublin? Any tips? Thanks so much! :)
Hi everyone, so I’m planning to go study at a community college in the U.S., but the only snag is which one—there are so many options over there! I’ve heard about one in California, Diablo Valley College, and another in Florida, Valencia College. I know both states are super attractive for tourism, but my main criteria are teaching quality and price. I’m open to any advice, comments, or suggestions—thanks in advance! The start of the semester is coming up, and I’m a little nervous...
READY, SET...... GO...... TO YOUR KEYBOARDS!!!!!!!! lol
Hi! I’m looking for an apartment in Malaga from September (2025) until January for my Erasmus exchange, but I’m not finding much, and it seems like there are a lot of scams. Does anyone have any leads or tips? Thanks!^^
