We asked people living in Malaysia 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," mentioned another expat when asked about moving to Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.

"Brought: MP3 player (not ipod), curry powder, suit Left: Shoes & boots, laptop, leather products," commented one expat who made the move to Penang, Malaysia.
