Hello Malaysia ! New Yorkshireman needs friends
Greetings people,
I am just about to arrive in KL. I am a 'proper' Yorkshirelad but have
always lived overseas. I am the one who designs the lighting, sound and laser for big concerts, shows etc (although I wont be doing that in Malaysia)
I am 40, and really, really want to start to make new friends as soon as possible. I guess joining clubs, gatherings etc is a good way to go about it,
I wonder if anyone can help / advise on get togethers - whatever it is,
simple, outdoors, indoors , sports, I am in !!
I am planning to live somewhere near Sepang (ish) as I dont need the city and need to be near the airport as I have to travel a lot on business.
Anyone want to be a friend ? (I arrive early June)
Would love to hear from you and any advise too.
cheers
Graham

Re: Hello Malaysia ! New Yorkshireman needs friends
The only real Yorkshireman I've known living overseas had been overseas for over 20 years.
Had married a local HK woman.
Had never ever eaten any Chinese, Indian or Nepalese food.
He also played cricket.

Re: Hello Malaysia ! New Yorkshireman needs friends
Hi Graham, as you might have gathered this is not a very busy part of BE.
Sorry I don't know any expats in Malaysia but I can assure ex-reg that there are a quite few Yorkshiremen in Singapore, totally immersed in the local culture. One of my best mates there is a Bradford boy, married local, lives in Balestier and eats at hawker centres almost every night.
There was a Leeds girl there until 1 May 2008 and she lived and ate in Geylang.
(And she's having a stopover there in a few weeks
)

Hello Nick,
Tried to PM you, but I need to make 3 posts before I can PM people,
so here is my second post ! I will make a third post below, then (hopefully)
be able to PM you.
By the way we will be moving to Langkawi around 20th June, and I will be in and out of KL quite a lot.

I'll be stuffing my face at Geylang No Signboard in a couple of weeks (Used to live round the corner from it.) Never did like Samy's.
