I started a new job last week and it will require me to travel extensively. I just got back from an all-expense paid trip to Vegas so it's off to a good start. In 2 weeks, I'll be going to Olen, Norway for training and once I learn all that I can... I will be heading to Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia for 3 months!
Now 3 months is a long time to be in a country with no friends or family. So calling anyone who live there or been there or will go there, please give me suggestions on what to do. I'm scheduled to fly over there on January 10, 2009 so I got some time to plan my stay.
For those that know Malaysia well, I got a few questions:
How's the English over there? I speak 2 languages and neither of which is Malaysian. I'm definitely gonna venture out and explore the place but should I get lost, what's my odd of finding my way back using English?
The other language I speak is Vietnamese. Is there a big Vietnamese population over there? Do they have some sort of Vinatown (VIetNAm town)?
How's the public transportation? Can I get around without a car?
Any help will be appreciated and I'll definitely take all suggestions into consideration.
