We asked people living in Kuala Lumpur to list three things they wish they had brought and three they wish they had left behind. They responded...

"I wish I had brought a couple cases of wine, a decent barbecue and insect repellant. Those things I brought and didn't need - jeans, long-sleeved shirts," wrote a member who made the move to Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.

"When moving to Kuala Lumpur, it is important to pack items that will help you adjust to the climate and culture. Pack lightweight, breathable clothing that is appropriate for the hot and humid climate. Bring a few items of clothing that are suitable for more formal occasions, such as a dinner or business meeting. Pack a few items of rain gear, as Kuala Lumpur experiences heavy rainfall during certain times of the year. Bring a few items of comfortable walking shoes, as Kuala Lumpur is a very walkable city. Additionally, pack any necessary medications, toiletries, and personal items that you may need," explained one expat living in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.
