Moving from the UK to KL - Help ! by liverpoolfc
We're a family of 4 moving from UK to KL in Jan 16. Two boys school year 3 and 8. This is a career move for me and a life experience for us all. Little bit of a minefield when it comes to schools...looked at the usual ones ...

Hi there We're moving to KL in a couple of months from Sydney, and have a very modest shipping allowance. We will probably rent a furnished place when we arrive. What are the must-bring things, even if you rent a furnished place? Should we bring ...

Thanks for your reply Gravitas. So which household goods would you expect to have supplied when renting fully furnished, and what would you expect to have to buy? I can assure you not all Australians are the same.. and not all complain...perhaps ... Read More
