actually, there is a sizeable expat community in KL. Try sniffing around the bangsar, Mt Kiara areas. And if you are so inclined, spend a few hours on a weekend at the new Hilton nightclub... that place seems to attract a fair few Western expats from all over KL.

But I have found Penang to be a better place to live in recent years. KL has become a cesspit of traffic snarls, lousy local council services and just having to share space with a lot of aggro/rude people.
