Welcome to our podcast! This is the ExpatsEverywhere podcast which allows us to dive deeper into Portugal. We love to interview guests that are in the process of moving, have recently moved or who have been living in Portugal for a number of years. We also speak with different business owners that serve our community because they also provide valuable insight and resources for moving to Portugal. We hope you enjoy the pod and if you do, please subscribe! - Josh & Kalie
Living in Portugal | What a Year It's Been!

Now, in view of forest city opening up and being a duty free zone...would you consider JB to stay in Malaysia? And since you hate KLIA you can fly off from Singapore there....
Did Forest City open?! Wow, that's cool. We saw that project from the planning days and it seemed unreal. Not sure, you know the magic of Singapore for us was the community that we had there. Let's see. - Josh & Kalie

Pork products in malaysia you can find them easily...just go to the non halal section in every supermarket especially in chinese, expats residential area......also there are so many restaurants that sells pork , even din tai fung have a non halal branch here, in pavilion i think...
Coz malaysia is islamic country mostly malay.. so yea pork is not in every shop.. but actually its easy.. u have to go to chinese restaurant or stall.. or even foodcourt.. u will find it there anywhere in malaysia.. and yes halal restaurants we have the most but non halal restaurants we have alots too.. u just need to find any chinese restaurant mostly.. coz i think this is first time i hear that people say hard to find pork 😂 i think u need to know where to get it.. but as long as i know yea we are muslim friendly country the most but at the same time not so hard to find pork.. u can search it online if youre dont want to walk around.. and vegetarian we hve too yea but not so many.. normally indian would sell it.. not MAMAK restaurant.. thats different.. but i think so far we have it all.. u just need to dig a bit.. google it or if u want it delivery we have food panda or grabfood where u can see the menu and what type of restaurant
Boas Festas Josh & Kaylie, now towards gifts to be given to other people it is just like she said, to common people that you know you offer wine & chocolates even from your local supermarket between 3 to 6 or 7 euro), if you have people to impress you give the same but with upper value. ( after 10 euro but below 20 because it´s just a christmas gift). Money just for close kids of your own family. Or gift cards from every brand - FNAC - ZARA - EL CORTE INGLES, etc. but not from Continente or Worten, that´s also for family.
Ooh! This is good detail!! I love the differintiating between Continente vs El Corte Ingles and Worten v FNAC! Boas Festas to you too. - Josh & Kalie

I'm an American retiree now 7 years in Kuching, Sarawak on the Sarawak MM2H. There's also a Sabah MM2H so one should definitely understand that the programs vary by State ( it has to do with the fact that Malaysia formed as a confederation from four culturally and politically different states. The Islamic aspects are less prominent in Sarawak and Sabah. So you can get both domestic pork and wild boar (which is a staple in traditional diets). Christianity is actually the majority faith in Sarawak and Sabah. And these two regions are much more forested and water oriented...if you want to stay in water village resorts, dive, or kayak. There's even .mountain climbing and caving. Teh tarik is pulled coffee or tea, and Sarawak and Sabah have started commercialising their Liberica coffee which is definitely distinct from Starbucks and most world brands (Arabica beans). Lots of tropical fruits and juices. The Malay, Indonesian, Chinese food influence is pretty big in Sarawak with some Philippine influences in Sabah. But you are unlikely to find the distinct Dayak (local hill tribe) foods and influences in the Peninsula of Malaysia. Lots of sea food, as well. Anthony Bourdain loved the Sarawak Laksa dubbing it the "breakfast of the gods". Watch his two programs about his visits. Kuching is now a UNESCO Gastro city. In most of Malaysia they now require the purchase of a property to get a long-term MM2H visa. But Sarawak MM2H does require that...simply a 30 day visit/year. You can travel to, but not reside in, West Malaysia. The big recent change is the requirement of a Fixed Deposit in a local bank of the equivalent of $118,000. It's a ten year visa with an intermediate check. You can purchase property (either landed or strata) in Malaysia. But, as mentioned, Sarawak is the only version of MM2H visa that doesn't MANDATE purchase, or even renting. So for nomadic travellers that can be a big plus. So a lot of short term renter's are common expats. But some do purchase property and they can withdraw up to 50% of the Fixed Deposit for that. One can also withdraw funds for car, school fees, or medical expenses. If you do purchase landed property there's a minimum of Rm600K ($140,000) for foreign buyers -but there's no floor for Strata Property purchases. I gave up my Medicare Plan B due to the uselessness abroad of Medicare. But as you mentioned the quality and cost of healthcare in Sarawak is commensurate with the Peninsula. So everything is over-the-counter, but for MM2H those under 50 must buy a basic insurance plan. Waived for those over 50. They do expect a checkup but only exclude those with communicable diseases or indicia of drug usage (so clean up if you are a marijuana user). Sarawak has four international schools. And education is one of the areas that Sarawak allows expats on SMM2H to work part time in. The other areas are Medical, Banking/Securities, and Manufacturing. One can also invest in a business, but only as a silent partner with a Sarawakian. For more info go to the government website www.mtcp.sarawak.gov.my and click on the "For Public" draw down menu. Since these are new requirements click cj on the banner about the new updates ("Enhancements"). Sarawak has lower street crime than West Malaysia. I think motorcycle theft is the number one crime and sadly family violence the #1 violent crime. The biggest safety risk is motorcycle accidents.

One of these days, you absolutely have to take the Yellow Train that departs Villefranche-de-Conflent (in the Languedoc) and ends at Latour-de-Carol. You can take it in the morning and be back by the afternoon. It’s a little train with some open cars (painted yellow, with benches) that takes you through stunning countryside into Andorra, with several stops. Honestly, it’s like a Disney ride for adults! Your daughter will love it. Lots of dark tunnels, beautiful pastures, gorgeous mountains, and the train runs at a pretty good clip so it’s lots of fun. I highly recommend it. 😉
Thank you for the recommendation. What season of year do you think would be the best? - Josh & Kalie

if you wont survive driving in Malaysia. its mean other Asian country will be a lot harder for you.
Agreed! :-) Except Singapore.
About the ice creams - I was in Istanbul in June, and they have the prices posted, where you can see them, on the counter. My friend wanted to take part in the show, she let them play the game, we thought the price was exaggerated (around €7.5), but they indicated the price posted on the counter. In another place I asked a salesperson, when he saw me approaching he started with the show, I said I just wanted to know the price and he indicated the price, it that displayed on the counter.And remember, you're not paying for the ice cream, which is worthless, you're paying for the show
Agreed! The actual ice cream is 2nd rate. LOL And the show is annoying according to our 4 year old.
@@ExpatsEverywherePodcast OK, according to your daughter the show is annoying and perhaps frustrating, but for millions of tourists it's comical since they enjoy it
We’ve had a holiday home in Kusadasi for 13 yrs - we visit twice a year , lovely seaside resort town . Have to agree with the hike in the cost of living in Turkey , considerably more costly than before…. Turkey is the 6th most visited country on the planet… the Aegean coastline is stunning.
We've been to Kusadasi on a cruise! Very cool. Thanks for listening.
Why use wise when you can use chase or some other card to rack up points?
We love to use Wise for petty purchases and as a backup card. It's also really handy to create a variety of wallets with other currencies and such. You could certainly use Chase for its no foreign exchange fees as it's way better than a traditional bank debit card. - Josh
@@ExpatsEverywherePodcast Or Capital one Venture X or SavorOne; they have no foreign transactions fees; two of the best cards
The Bosphorus is not a river. It is a strait which links the black sea to the Marmar sea. Taksim is not a great place. It is actually kind of sketchy particularly at night. I think you may be referring to Nisantasi. It is nice but too cookie cutter for me. On the Asian side, Baghdad Street is a large promenade which looks very European and is lovely to stroll around.

Thank you for this wonderful interview with Josh & Kalie, if I'm not mistaken, have been living in Porto, Portugal for several years now.
Josh, should your dad & step mom wanted to experience water bungalows again in Malaysia, aside from the ones in PD and Sepang, check out the ones in Pangkor like Pangkor Laut Resort and in Langkawi like Berjaya Resorts. There are many other options around the other tropical islands in Malaysia.
Sorry to hear about the rude treatment you guys experienced at KLIA, and also the about the car accident. Actually, there are lots of places that serves pork in KL, Penang etc. The Chinese restaurant that you guys visited could probably be a certified Halal, permissible for Muslim, otherwise, the operator wouldn't have removed any pork items in the menu.
Hi Yasin! Great to see you on this channel. :-)
@ExpatsEverywherePodcast Hi there you guys. Hope that you guys are doing great in Portugal. 😁
Search Numbeo QOL comparison Porto vs Istanbul > Quality of Life Index Istanbul Low 116.60 Porto Very High 178.12 Forget Istanbul. It´s still better than a lot of cities I lived in, but lower than the 160 index (and Lisbon is struggling with it) is sub standard.
Turkish is actually one of the easiest languages to learn grammatically, with very regular structure, no noun class or grammatical gender distinctions, etc. It is agglutinative, so you just pile up the segments to form a word. Supposed to be one of the easiest for children to learn. Okay, this is all from memory... but it's what I remember from teaching linguistics 20 years ago 😄 Much easier than Portuguese!

@@ExpatsEverywherePodcast best way to form an opinion about relative cost of livings is there-- not in Eminonu, Karakoy, SG-CBD, Orchard Road. Whampoa & Ang Mo Kio & Isparta, Burdur farmer's markets let you know what local pay.
Welcome to Malaysia! We not only welcomes Christisn Ronaldo but everyone elso. Under the government Second Home Program, anyone interested..pls come n settled here in Malaysia..TQ guys..good job..
That feeling you mention that some Portuguese people don't like Americans has nothing to do with recent events. There is a Marxist streak in PT society that has always hated the USA. It is actually fading now, had you been here in the 1970s/80s you'd have felt it in full force. Now that the Left is losing the cultural battle in Portugal (I mean the REAL left, not those right-wingers you call Left in the USA) USA bashing is actually going out of fashion.
Interesting views on KL. As far as I know, Malaysia is not an Islamic country. However, the religion of Islam is practised by 60% of the Malaysian population. There are plenty of restaurants which serve pork. There are also “halal” (pork free) and “non-halal” Ding Tai Fung in KL. You probably went to one that’s halal. KL is also known to expats as a place with many lovely cafes serving fantastic & quality coffees. I personally find the coffees in KL great! Re airports, you mentioned Tony Fernandez, then you were referring to Terminal 2, KLIA2 (more for domestic flights)? I can’t help but compare that to many airports in USA and other countries…. Do you really think it’s abysmal? Having said that, I do think KLIA 1 & 2 can be improved, that’s for sure!
Regarding the food, yes, that's why I attempted to gently correct Kalie when she made that observation. It was narrow to where we went to eat and found several Halal restaurants. Thanks for the comment. - Josh
Hey glad you came visit Malaysia. Btw the Chinese eat pork as staple right here in Malaysia. You need to go to Chinese restaurants or Chinese kopitiam (coffee shop) and there's lots of cafesrestaurants where you can have bacon n egg breakfasts or or all day big breakfass with bacon pork sausages etc. Not to mention bak kut teh, a meal with pork spare ribs as main dish.

We agree!
Whats with all these videos considering trading Portugal for Singapore? Not in the same league, cost of living, visa availability, citizenship possibility, housing market are almost on oposite ends of the scale.
Thanks for the comment. There are 2 videos that came out in tandem with each other and kind of play off each other. Another podcast episode was about Malaysia, namely KL, which was formatted the same as this. Kalie and I like to take our audience members on the road with us when we travel. This comparison in particular would hit the demographic of expats that are considering relocating for work, possibly doing international school teaching (like we did), or potentially starting a company. We'll finish up this little travel (comparison) series with our Istanbul, Turkey episode next week. - Josh & Kalie

For a young family, I think it really comes down to - where is the best education for your children?
Yes and job offers of course. - Josh & Kalie
Yeah move to Singapore.... just a cool million to get their retirement visa or get a job as an expat with a temporary work visa which doesn't provide residency status... loss your job bye bye...
I don't think they have a retirement visa, and it costs $25M SG to get into the Global Investor Programme (GIP).
Hi, not sure what you mean by "doesn't provide residency status". It is possible for someone to change jobs within Singapore in case of a lost job but one would need to file with MoM for that and that's not too dissimilar to other countries.
They don't have a specific retirement visa and the cost of the GIP is currently at $2.5M SGD not 25 million. - Josh & Kalie
@@ExpatsEverywherePodcast Actually, my data says that in early 2023 they bumped the cost of the GIP up tenfold...would LOVE to be proven wrong, however...

Josh & Kalie live in Porto (North of Portugal) But i'll them reply to your question.
Sergio, beat us to the answer! Thank you, sir. Thanks for the comment, Sheila. - Josh
As Johor Bahru has been more beautified and made more touristy, it would be possible to live in JB and regularly travel to Singapore with the new train link opening soon (faster than the current train/bus/car). However, unless you're working in Singapore, I think the visas are prohibitive for most people. There is no retiree visa, etc.
Agreed! JB has had a ton of foreign investment in the past 5-10 years so it's certainly an option. Singapore could be used as a weekend getaway. - Josh & Kalie

Malaysia has no freedom like Portugal though
