Penang 's beaches weren't nothing special. Lots of high rises, not my cup of tea I like the vibe of KL, but would also live in outer suburbs. Malacca is ok for visit. We visited Borneo, but wouldn't live there. Kuching on Sarawak sounds cool but haven't visited.

Totally agree. My wife and I checked it out a couple of years ago as a place to live. We loved it, but wouldn't live in Penang. I would like to check out East Coast. As you say they speak English, 3 cultures foods, friendly people. We are checking out Vietnam in October.

Haven't seen Penang, in fact have really only checked out KL which we love and would be happy in (in the outer areas, not the centre). Next visit must check some of the other areas, it's a big place.

Vietnam would be interesting. Looking at Thailand hopefully later this year and Hong Kong, but that's a different lifestyle all together ;-)

Malaysia, maybe looking like a possible place to live then?

Malaysia is one of my favourites. Many cultures living together and understanding, most people speak English which makes daily life easier, local Malaysians some of the friendliest people you'll meet.

Just came back from a few weeks there again. Definitely a place high up on the list for a safe, comfortable and enjoyable life.
