Tips and Advice on Switzerland from Your Fellow Malaysian Expats

Obviously, expat life in Switzerland goes well beyond shipping your belongings and taking care of red tape. Socializing with fellow Malaysians is an important facet of living abroad and can be a huge stepping stone in getting to know the Swiss mentality and way of life. Malaysians in Switzerland are a part of our community, calling cities such as Geneva, Bern, Zurich, and many others home. You can use InterNations to look for fellow Malaysians in Zurich, for example.
