Just would really like to hear of others experiences of moving to kl with teenage girls.
Did they settle in well. We shall be moving from Australian back to uk educational system, what do you think maybe the pitfalls? What about sports, after school activities? Are they well catered for?
Any advice gratefully received.

International schools in KL are big on after school activities, so what is available is very dependent on what school the girls will attend.
