Hi English family recently moved to Penang currently living around Batu Ferringhi and moving to Tanjung bungah in July.  Almost 13 year old sociable daughter desperate to make new friends - sick to death of hanging out with mum and 10 year old brother!  Currently homeschooling both children as there is a waiting list as school so would love to make contact with any similar aged  families.

Hi Emme, it would be rather safer to make friends in your own condo during pool or tennis time.

Dont get me wrong, Malaysia is a safe country, but it pays to be extra cautious.

I guess once she started schooling, it wont be a problem.
