Meet more people around my age (25)

Hi AlexCT,

Welcome to Expat.com

Just to inform you that i have created a separate thread with your post on the Kuala Lumpur forum.

I hope that it will give you much more visibility and will help you to make new acquaintances.

Have a nice day,

Hi as you normally need to be an expert to be an expat and over 27 (except IT) to get a work permit so that's normal.

Time to grow up youngling and realise expat life is very different back home. You have to make friends of all ages, all types, all nationalities and especially outside your normal circle. Basically time to be an adult!  Or take up stamp collecting and have no friends.

When I was in Thaialnd for example we had 18 year olds, early 20s to 50 year olds partying together. You cant be ageist.

You could also try meetup activity groups that attract younger Malaysians like rock climbing. But do realise youngsters of your age are mostly into career career career with a focus in life.

Hey Alex, we're both in the same condition.

I'm 25 as well and just recently moved to KL from Jakarta.

I'm still trying to settle in as well as expanding my circle here, definitely need extra effort to find fellow expats in their 20s.

At the moment I'm trying to join sports community as it attracts younger crowd. You'll be able to meet not only expats, but maybe make some local friends as well
