If you don't love it, leave it: OK, I'll leave
 

Well, my plans to move to Colombia fulltime and semi-retire/produce adult content is now on hold. I have a business opportunity and will be leaving Monday night for Kuala Lumpur for about 18 months. If you had told me even 5 years ago that I would even consider re-locating to the Islamic Republic of Malaysia, I would have told you you're crazy. But here I am, ticket in one hand and suitcase in the other, packed with the best wardrobe $300 can buy at Walmart.

Drove my last taxi shift last night will lease out the car for a year.

As Malaysia is known to be an Adult-friendly wonderland (yes, I'm being sarcastic) I don't even know if GFY will make it through the filters - a lot of Adult sites don't.

So two questions:

1. Anyone out there based in Malaysia?

2. What's a good VPN these days?

Drug mule? congrats

Walmart clothes, I can remember being broke and 18 and not even liking that funky fitting bullshit. lol.

Malaysia: 8oz Pot = Death Penalty, so I've ruled out drug mule

Picked up some Dickee's work clothes for the build-out, fit me pretty good. And I love shopping at 2:00am

Awesome - forgot about that!

I wish you all the best. :thumbsup

Sounds like an adventure..

maybe you were brainwashed for this trip?

Yeah it is pretty amusing. Normally I get sweaters and things I get are tailored to have a little extra room for chest muscle. I grabbed a cheap fleece one at Walmart when I was there buying a bunch of stuff, seems like it is cut to have some extra room for a beer belly, I guess that works for the normal demographic there :1orglaugh

Good luck to you in your new venture in Malaysia though Randy.

I'm more of a Kohl's shopper for clothes but good luck :thumbsup

Good luck and behave.

Move to Columbia and due to circumstances end up in... what? Kuala fucking Lumpur?


The bullshit is so thick? This has to be another fake nick. That's like saying I left Detroit in order to find a better life in downtown Kabul.

Idiot.:2 cents::thumbsup

From everything I read, Kuala Lumpur is very safe - although the US State Dept. warns of pickpockets downtown and occasionally taxi drivers don't use the meter. And the person paying my consulting fee has lived there for 5 years. The plan is to be there until mid 2015. Then I'll re-locate to Colombia, where I have a young daughter. Either way, the US is probably not in my future.

I assure you this is the only nick I have - I feel just one is a sufficient waste of time.

well - good luck then!

I remember seeing a show that highlighted the Kissing Prohibited signs there in a public park. Probably best not to hold hands.
Yep, there are signs warning of pick pocket activity as well all around. Never been myself. Good luck.

I opened an account on malaysiacupid.com and closed it about three days later. I'll save my hand-holding and kissing for my visa runs to Bangkok.

What's wrong with Colombia and Kuala Lumpur? KL is very nice and a lot of Colombia is too.

so what are you going to be doing there?

was in kuala lumpur as a tourist its a nice place we had a great time...I am a giant there, people are up to my nipple so its very safe...

Opening a New York style pizzeria. They have Domino's and Pizza Hut and research shows that the KL middle and upper class are willing to spend more on the step above fast food - "fast casual" if you will. I used to be in the pizza business in NYC many years ago.

Congrats! I left the Us in March 2008 and only have been back one time, for two weeks, since. The US is a shithole police state full of rubes and dipshits.

Have luck Randy. I've enjoyed your posting here, hopefully you will have access to teh gfy from there. I've always wanted to go there, who knows maybe I'll visit koala bearpur and hit your pizza joint

:thumbsup

oh, and check out strongvpn.com, they're hooked up with reliable hosting and I've had good business dealing with them

He got a business opportunity which was not in play in Columbia. :2 cents:

And no, KL is not that bad, actually I am not sure if it is much worse than Colombia. Except being muslim of course.

:thumbsup:thumbsup:thumbsup

I know the airport far too well - I always end up getting stuck there...

dont expect western standards and culture over there, but dont except neither United arab emirates...this is south east asia, and still not singapur...

very nice country with amazing food (go to indian bars restaurants always), but VERY HOT. i mean - very.

if you will be in KL, thats different story...nobody will care about silent public kiss somewhere in the park

Good Luck ! Enjoy your fellow country men :)

I've been to Malaysia several times, never had an issue with pickpockets; then again I carry my wallet in my front pocket so yeah.

In regards to the taxi drivers sometimes not using the meter; learn to identify the Filipinos from the Malaysians and you won't have a problem.

Part of my reason for going is the way I see the US veering towards policies that I thought only "bad" countries had. There are opportunities here and no country is perfect, but I'm happy to get out while the gettin's good.

Thanks! I really couldn't understand his negative response, but then again, look at the source. I go where the money is, and for now it's in KL. I still think Colombia is awesome and that's where I plan to retire.


I will be in KL - I've heard it called "Islam Lite", they tend to be very progressive. And hot yes - I'm giving away all my winter clothes today!


Actually pickpockets and bad taxi drivers are probably in every city in the world. If that's the worst the State Dept. can come up with, then I'll be fine.

generally speaking, islam in south east asia due to region culture specific is completely different from what you could expect from muslim guys, from lets middle east (like: screaming,nervous people and sometimes rude people).. in se asia they are usually on contrary to that...

Sounds like a well thought out plan... :thumbsup :uhoh :party-smi
