Hi! I am also looking to meet Americans or English-speaking expats in Malaysia. I used to live in US and UK for 9 years, love the western culture, especially friendly Americans... and really miss hanging out with people of different cultures.

Hi Deniko,

Welcome to Expat-Blog :D

I have created a new thread as from your post on the Malaysia Forum for a better interaction :)

Maybe you can tell us a little bit more about yourself as an introduction please ?

Thank you

Hey Deniko - Nice to meet you. Well am not an American but definitely can speak good English :)

amitv

Which part of US?

Thanks Maximilien!

Well, I love classical music and really enjoy being a piano teacher. I also did a bit of performing in the UK and had the amazing opportunity of playing a piano concerto (with orchestra).

Classical music isn't big in Malaysia so I do miss the activities, interest and involvement of westerners who understand it. Any fans out there? :)

Hi Afzal, nice to meet you too! :)

Malaysia is a nice place to live and work... hope you find the opportunities you are looking for.

Inshallah Deniko.. :) I totally agree with you, Malaysia is indeed a superb place to be, Thats one of the reason me looking out for opportunities.

Nevertheless have fun and enjoy the amazing culture of Malaysia ( a little jealous of you thou :P )

Hi Amitv,

I was in Portland, Oregon. The Pacific Northwest is just beautiful! I loved traveling around there, going for days out, walks by the river, enjoying nature.

How long were you in the US and which part?

I also lived in UK, very different from the US, but I really miss just taking a drive to a little town, walking around, pretty architecture... I find it too hot in Malaysia to enjoy the outdoors.

Was in DC for about 4 years. Though had extensive travelling. Would be great to connect..

Hi what part of UK? Yes it is certainly a far cry here frm the UK especially London for music and culture. It is the main thing I miss from London

tgjfkme

I was in London, Norwich and Birmingham.
And which part are you from?
Any favourite pieces...? :)

Nemodot

Hi I am from a small town in Essex but lived in Bristol, Cambridge, Leeds and London for study/work. London you can't beat for shear excitement bit cost of living yikes.

Favourite piece. That is a hard question! But The Planets comes to mind. Maybe because I am a physicist lol. I do like violin pieces though my favourite instrument to listen to.

Holst huh? Wow.. a true English! :D The only one I like is Jupiter.

Violins, yes. I may be a pianist but I much prefer listening to orchestral pieces - strings are beautiful

Nemodot

The Piano - very popular in Malaysia! Two of my students play very well a delight to listen too

Jackstinger - must be hard coming back here after 25 years! How are you finding it?

Mark mac

Hey how are you? I moved here from Florida.what about you?

Jackstinger

Not pleasant. Battling the heat dust poor air quality. Covered in heat rashes. The traffic in Kuala Lumpur is unbelievable. And the development. One big concrete jungle. The price of development I guess. I look out of my balcony and I can't see any green. It's all gone.

How long were you in Florida?
