I appreciate this post will come across as silly and naive, feel free to set me straight, this is what is needed.
DH works a lot in Singapore, Malaysia and a bit in Thailand. We live in Europe and so far we've coped with him being away for a while and then being at home for a while. However DH is keen for us to move, possibly to Malaysia and I am coming around to the idea.
I have lived in three different European countries so I am not entirely new to the problems of adjusting, fitting in, feeling home sick, etc. On the other hand, I have never lived in Asia and I suspect the cultural differences may be more pronounced.
To make things more complicated I have always lived rurally. I love the space, the quiet and I have a lot of animals including horses. I don't mind being out of the way but now we have children so we have to be reasonable about access to schools.
Is it completely silly to think about living in rural Malaysia? Am I deluded? Is there any way one could live rurally in the periphery of a major town (Kuala Lumpur presumably but open to suggestions) and commute in for schools?
