Playing Sports (Golf / Squash / Football) by vdmarel
Hi guys, I'm just wondering, are there any organized groups playing sports? I have played 4 against 4 football on a tennis court in Bangkok. Small goals, was pretty cool and would like to play the same here. Just once a week or something. I'm ...
I live right on the other side of the city. Not very convenient but thanks anyways. In my last post I said Jln Judging; that was my autocorrect on my phone. Supposed to say Jalan Kuching. Read More

Hi chndrn, Where do you play futsal in PJ? And which days? Maybe I'd like to join. How many players play and on what kind of court? I think many people play with colleagues but there are very few "public" games going on. Read More
Buying Ground Coffee in KL? by vdmarel
Hi all! Since a week or two I am living in KL. I live near the Tesco at the curve so I do all my shopping there. One thing I however can't find (and REALLY need!) is coffee! Good old coffee ... There is a huge aisle with sachets or white coffee or ...
Well, at the coffee chains they sell the same coffee but just quadruple the price. Starbucks coffee sells at 48 RM for 200 grams. Ridiculous. I have settled for the regular Tesco coffee. Might look into getting a Dolce Gusto. Had a Nespresso back ... Read More

Thanks for the reply. I tried that once...and...never again. It was pitch black and looked as thick as oil. I guess I have to settle with no choice and high prices then. Sounds weird though, Malaysia being so close to coffee producing areas. Read More

Opening a bank account in Malaysia by Julien
Hi all, is it difficult for expats to open a bank account in Malaysia ? Which documents are required to open a bank account in Malaysia ? How long does it take to open it ? Is there any restriction for expats regarding the services ...
Hi Julien, I'm trying to open a bank account myself. I have been advised MayBank as they offer good services and have the most offices around KL. I first need to get my work visa though as that's essential to opening a bank account. Sorry, can't ... Read More
