rent a place that will be accessible by the school bus by Dalila2020

Hi everyone, I had a job offer in KL and I’m planning to move there in February. The only school place I found is in the BIS but I will be working in the CC. Could you please advise where to rent a place that will be accessible by the school ...

Abu Bakar

Suggest you take the MRT via the LRT. Find a comfy room in TTDI or better BB. If you can afford KLCC that beats PKNS. Stay safe in KL. Avoid MRR2. *Pun intended Dalila get serious* Read More

If you want to help the people of Sulawesi by Fred

This NGO is a legitimate group (known personally to me) that is putting people and equipment on the ground in the disaster area. Donations are very welcome. https://farm2.staticflickr.com/1950/45098403582_6f6d5fef1a_z.jpg

All with due respect & grief for life lost. A prayer goes out to the victims & family. Our hometown in Tasik Malaya has fair share of quakes. Even worse when working in Sibolga nearest Pulau Nias. Worse of all when in Medan during the 2004 ... Read More

So you did hear about the cheap fags & beer. Believe a certain Visa-on-arrival would allow you to stay bit longer. By means of a monthly renewal, an agent fee, immigration fee, other fees & such. By then you might just find something legit ... Read More

2018 PP Living: Different Areas: Safety-Rent-Flooding-Convenience by GuestPoster985

Pertaining to topic subject. I'm curious as to current status of different PP areas to live.

Getting around Phnom Penh by Lindsaybee

Hi all! There is lots of information online about how to get around Phnom Penh by tuktuk/bike/car but very little about walking. I'm currently looking at work and accommodation options and often prefer to walk the journeys I'll be making ...

Thumbs up my_guzzi. Did pretty much the same. No one bothers pedestrians. Except the persistent tuk tuk. Walking around on foot orientates. Most streets are "number" based. The are certain quarters popular with the locals. Nearest the ... Read More

New Kid in Town by xraymond

Hi there Guys/Gals. Been here about a month now, from Melbourne Australia. Ex- Singaporean. Looking out for any Business opportunities here in Bali to invest in.

Find a solution for the traffic congestion in Kuta? That would fit the bill. Bali is so dynamic as always. But does not mean vibrant. Have been witness to many shop closure. Many shattered dreams & much poorer dreamers. Another new eager party ... Read More
