I have the chance to work in Melaka for two years, can anyone advise on housing & second international schools
I have been asked by my employer if I would work in Melaka, Malaysia for two years, I've worked in Singapore & Indonesia so have some experience of Asia. However I now have a young family so need advice on housing, schooling and general security in the area. I'm looking for any reviews on (MIS) Melaka International School, my eldest has just started secondary school and following the British curriculum is vital.

You'll love Melaka, because this state is full of historical background. It is small and have plenty of food to choose from. It is like a getaway from the hustle bustle life of a city in S'pore... You'll like it beside it is quite near to beachfront... Hope you choose well.

There is one international school. I attached the site below: http://www.mis.edu.my/ Since your child is in primary school it should be fine. I know that MIS is focused to Cambridge Certificate Examinations & I have a friend in Melaka who says its fine for primary students. Otherwise, for secondary, you should consider your family living in KL & being a weekend parent. There are very good international schools in KL. If you don't want to be a weekend parent & can afford a driver & do your email in the car, you could actually commute (2 hours one way) each day. There are also some international schools in KL with dormatories if you are comfortable leaving a teenager in a dorm.... As a place to live, Melaka is much nicer. Cost of living is cheaper & you can live in much larger quarters & even get a house with a yard or 1/4 price in KL. You should be able to rent a furnished house for about RM1000 & live very comforably. If you prefer condos there are some nice condos even with ocean views & pools. Again you should be able to get a 2 bedroom condo furnished for about 1000. You should enjoy Malaysia/Melaka over Indonesia/Singapore. Its safer & cleaner than Indonesia and much more interesting (& cheaper) than Singapore. So many things to do!! Cheers.

Speaking from personal experience, I would suggest houses located near the town center. Ideal housing areas include Ujong Pasir, Semabok and Bukit Cina. At the end of the day, it depends how far are you willing to travel for work and school. Melaka is generally free from heavy traffic congestion. Most times one would find that the traffic lights are more of a nuisance than the cars on the road. As for schooling, local schools such as SMK Infant Jesus Convent or Canossa Convent are considered among the best in Melaka town centre. Having spent my adolescent life there, I can safely say that your child should do just fine as those schools were previously missionary schools so the teachers generally speak fluent English. Having said that, I have just graduated with a Masters from UK. (that should give you a clue on the quality of education in Melaka :). As for preschool/kindergarten, there is a very well known daycare and montessori in Bukit Baru that goes by the name of "Montessori Little Children House".The school is very well known among the academia community in Melaka for their quality of education (also, their language medium is English, Malay and Chinese). Suffice to say, where else can you find such a conducive place to learn multiple languages? By the way, its the same with the secondary schools that I mentioned earlier. The students will have the option of learning the three main languages simultaneously. As for security, Melaka is comparably safer than the main cities like Kuala Lumpur or even London. Having travelled London last year, I would say that the general safety rules apply in Melaka but with less paranoia. As for food, yes glorious food! Melaka is a haven for food aficionados with a wide variety of Chinese, Malay, Indian and many other fusion dishes. And guessing that you're from UK, there is a neighbourhood Tesco supermarket in the town centre as well. :) I've heard that French supermarket Carrefour would be opening soon too. Finally, if you're still not convinced, perhaps Lonely Planet can offer you more pertinent information. http://www.lonelyplanet.com/worldguide/destinations/asia/malaysia/melaka That's all I can think of now, but if you need further information, feel free to drop us a line here at Yahoo!. Have a pleasant stay ahead!

Kalau kamu mau kerja di Amerika, yang jelas kalau kamu sudah nyampai di sini terus mau buka praktika sendiri atau mau kerja di praktika yang lain, kamu harus mengambil test agar dapat sertifikat bahwa kamu memang sudah tahu segalanya yang kamu bisa untuk kerja disini. Satu lagi, harus ada surat ijin kerja di Amerika, kalau kamu memang mau bekerja disini. Kalau kamu kerja di Singapore atau Malaysia, pasti harus ada surat ijin untuk bekerja juga. Kalau ke Inggris harus ambil test untuk membuktikan bahwa kamu tahu dan ahli di dalam bidang itu. Kemana saja kamu pergi kamu harus tahu hukum-hukum yang berguna dan yang di pakai, seungkah-nya kalau kamu di tuntut dalam hal malpraktis. Yang jelas kemana saja kamu pergi, kamu harus membuktikan bahwa kamu mengerti bidang Dentistry. I hope that my Indonesian is not bad, I learned it from my Indonesian boyfriend Daniel. Good Luck.

You have to take your helper to the British Consulate in Central to apply for the U.K. visa, as for the Schengen visa, because it would allow you to travel through Austria, Belgium, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Iceland, Italy, Luxembourg, Netherlands, Norway, Portugal, Spain and Sweden etc., you have to apply for the Schengen visa at one of the above country's consulate in Hong Kong. It is advised that it is better to apply in the country where you plan to stay the longest but from what I heard, the French Embassy can be difficult. You can also check out this site: http://www.eurovisa.info. Best of luck because Indonesian Passport can be problematic but if you hit a wall in one consulate, go to another one immediately. Best of luck !
