(Hey Cameron ! Nice to see you after Saigon !)

I am at Sefina on Mont Kiara.

Small world! Haha, looking forward to the meetup 😁

Btw... Not just Malaysia, you can use their office worldwide.

The issues is the community there is weaker compared to startup focused coworking space.

In KL which coworking spaces got startup ppl, or with community feeling

I don't know... Not really care about the community anymore... Just get shit done and enjoy life!

Yalor, spaces ok lah, I liked their klcc branch quite syok. Just booked trx fixed desk.

Spaces is better since IWG is pushing Spaces. All their locations are top notch. Planing to get Spaces after my Regus contract end.

Just landed. Won’t make it to the meetup I’m afraid.

Yeah it's at least 1h in the airport and 1h getting to KL

sorry I can't come, last minute thing. see you next time

Me too

metystnfmhszt If you guys wanna do later rounds we will keep yall posted

Yeah, airport was quick but just getting the Grab took 30 minutes. Yay.

Ah ok ok

I’m on the way. Trying to figure out public transport so will be late.

I am at the dinner place LFC already, Velocity mall level 4, southeastern most end.

i own a place here. let me know what buildings are popping up in your search and i can let you know if they are any good. here for a month…

Looks like you all had a terrific night, so fun! Cannot believe you were out until 4am, I am definitely not cut out for those kinds of nights anymore! lol

Today we're going to do a bit of light shopping. We are going to head to Pavillion and perhaps do some inner city sight seeing, and maybe purchase some items for our AirBnB.

We live just next to pavilion if you want to meet up for a coffee.. and no, we all left around 1-2 am (which is still plenty late for me but aveqbgwj is just another kind of beast)

📸 Did you take any photos at the Kuala Lumpur meetup this week? ✅ Upload them here nomadlist.com/meetups#70282514c74426c5a8405c24f4f16c3c

best site/app to book the recommended places to stay? couldn't find any availability for V Residence

Velocity is in high demand, try searching for other properties like lucentia, ekocheras? Or just find those in bt bintang if you dont stay for long

onmrekzaqzpay you ended up finding a place?

~Anyone with any tips where I might find a cheap coffee grinder? Bonus points if it’s near Lucentia/BBCC. I bought whole beans by accident and I have no way to deal with them. Oh, and like a fool, I didn't realize until after I'd opened the packet.~

We found a terrible coffee grinder and averted our crises. If anyone wants the grinder after we're done with it, let me know. It's truly awful, but all yours if you just want a cute little old school grinder.

Did you find it at Jaya ? I was going to say you might try Whats on Tap in the food area between the mall, they grind beans there…not sure if they would do someone else’s could always ask nice 😉

Literally just saw this. Awful Slack-ing.

No worries whatsoever! :)

Ah alright, cool, no i didn't get the chance to unfortunately

If you ever need other coffee stuff in KL I recommend Coffee Icon. They have equipment and great beans from all over. They deliver too

binklfvsythll that looks like the Nitori store at lalaport

Very likely since she was in Lalaport 🙂

Yeah I just exchanged my big electric grinder for a 1ZPresso JX, made in Taiwan which I can highly recommend. I had it shipped to the US and it was there in under a week. Probably even better shipping for Malaysia.

🛬 widxzzhxvknuex just arrived in 🇲🇾 Penang, #malaysia

guluvphmo I have a 1Zpresso K-Plus at home, I freaking LOVE it! I considered bringing it but decided to simply buy pre-ground beans for this year. It's not as nice, and I _really_ enjoy grinding it myself in the mornings, but it seemed a reasonable trade-off.

Imagine my surprise when I bought whole beans by accident....

You guys really dont dig the local coffees with robusta beans yea

I’m in Georgetown also

Best IWG spaces & regus.
Worst Komune.

I went yesterday to wework, seems pretty good in equatorial plaza, and it’s RM 345 per month now they have a promotion.

Mox in Sunway Putra mall was very cheap and near-empty when I was there.

🛬 uxtxxcvrrgcej just arrived in 🏙 Kuala Lumpur, #malaysia

My wife and I are thinking of heading out tonight on a photo walk. Any recommendations for spots with cool lights, neons, fun lighting to play with etc? I’ll add a couple of inspiration shots to the threads for reference of what we are looking for.

Icity at shah alam?

Bridge at KLCC is definitely on our list

Not the sky bridge, the colourful bridge to kampung baru

Yah, we were there a few nights ago

🛬 grfmazda just arrived in 🇲🇾 Penang, #malaysia

Where can I meet other entrepreneurs/business owners in KL? 🙂 Are there any community events happening around the coworking offices?

did you guys find a place to watch UFC?

🛬 whamo just arrived in 🏙 Kuala Lumpur, #malaysia

ducioiib has made a pretty decent guide which is linked in the channel bookmarks. He is also likely the right person to chat with on this subject, he is a bit of a Wikipedia of Malaysia and KL

Usually found on meetup.com|meetup.com eventbrite.com|eventbrite.com, but yeah these meetups are not really popular like precovid.

Hey everyone, I’ve been a little around Malaysia (KL, Penang and Malacca), and had a tip about Sarawak as a potential nomad destination for the future. Fast internet, beautiful, coworking spaces…

Any opinions on Sarawak as a potential nomad destination?

It's a bit quieter, but I liked it out there. There's nothing like the nomad visa tho, so I think you'd be limited to 3 month visa free stays (which probably isn't a huge issue)

That is ok actually, I never used a nomad visa in my life :slightly_smiling_face:

Wondering more about things to do like exploring, sports, beach, etc

spent a month in Kuching back in August/September

it's nice enough, the distances to see/do things are quiet large though. there is a semi-walkable core with some nice/interesting areas between the waterfront and Merdeka Square. Chinatown (which is pretty small) is nice enough and the laksa sarawak is to die for 🙂 but I would say most of the most impressive things about Sarawak are outside of the cities so you might want to get wheels - but grab is affordable enough for the things that are close by.

Bako National Park is pretty close to Kuching and it's an absolute MUST! only basic government lodging available, to be booked online, pretty basic but it does the job. I recommend spending at least 2 full days out there, it's beautiful 🙂

Kuching was nice for three or four nights, but I was ready to bail after that. Maybe if you are really into sweating in the jungle it might be fun for longer 🙂

fynxelfggi thank you so much for all the information, really useful. I am looking into it for building a future small community, like 50-100 nomads and your info and experience are gold 🙂

pkzjapmid I get the sentiment, but I do like the jungle stuff, especially outside the city. Also, there was a big international food festival when we were there, so that was also fun. Almost 300 stalls with all kinds of food for weeks. And then later the Mooncake Festival (I don't like mooncakes, but they were selling all kinds of things). 🙂

hahah that’s awesome. yeah it’s a decent place. better air quality than most of thailand for most of the year, so that is a plus. food festivals are always nice.

I'm also not itching to go back or anything, but I think of it fondly. I just have places I prioritize higher for repeat trips (Thai islands, Penang, Taiwan)

Yeah agreed. Intent to return and then actual rate of return is a really important metric. So many places I was glad I visited but will likely never go again. Thailand’s Intent to Return is around 80% and Vietnam is just 8% (this is for tourism not nomading but you get the idea)…Major challenge with Borneo and a lot of these places is getting people to come back after they see orangoutangs and Mount Kinabulu
