Moving to Malayia - What should I bring?

Question

Hi,

I am moving over in mid August to start a new job in KL and was wondering what I should bring with me.

I will be travelling light but was wondering:

* How much a normal sized front room TV costs
* How much a local games console costs, say the Ninento Wii and can the ASIA games work in English
* How much a Bass Guitar would cost, I don't mind if its an ASIA manufacturer as long as it plays well
* How much a average Hi-Fi sound system costs
* CDs
* An average Mobile Phone

Thanks in advance to anyone who responds. I've tried searching online but its no use

It's all depending on the brand and the place you buy it :)

however to answer your question,

a normal tv cost from rm400-rm800 depending on the sizes u choose.

The last time I checked,Wii cost around rm1500 and PS2/3 and Xbox's prices is not far behind.(PS2 would be cheaper.)
The games works in English so you don't have to worry bout that.

I'm not sure bout the bass guitar,but I think you can find various brands(including fenders and Ibanez) around KL with budgets around rm800-rm3000.Again,it depends on the brand and place you go.

You can get Hi-fi system(depending on the brand) between rm 1000-rm2000.But the cheap ones usually cost not more than rm1000.

CD's normally price from rm42.90-rm50.(originals)

For mobile phone,depending on the brand,for a basic phone,it will cost you not more than rm500.But for the latest phones ( with better functions) it will cost your frm rm800 and above.


hope it helps.

Answer 4

Most things listed will probably be much cheaper there. You will definitely need a mosquito net though, plus creams and sprays before you get accostomed to the heat and humidity.

Good luck.
