If you're ever over my way, my door is always open and the wine is waiting to be poured. Hello My Darling, just getting around to reading this now and I wish you much, much luck in your transition.

I used to live in Toronto and loved it. I just bought a condo in Montreal last year and will be moving there in a few years (using it as a vacation residence until then). Fortunately we are also keeping our house in San Diego so I won't have to do a huge paring down, which would be difficult to say the least. I was worried about my cats too, but they drove with us from San Diego this summer and were perfectly fine upon arrival - they loved Montreal. Very best wishes to you and Lilly!

A big part of why we chose Malaysia is the food, particularly the roti canai and my other favorite, laksa. And since Malaysia is sort of off the radar here, it's great to hear from people who have had good experiences living there. Now I'm just hoping for more posts from March about what perfumes to wear in the tropics... Hi Jayne,

The whole point of moving is to offload some of the material and psychic stuff that has been pressing you into the ground. Your gut is right, trust it. Millicent, best of luck with Malaysia - it is a wonderful, confusing, frustrating, fascinating place. Remember - if you have to point at something, do it with your thumb not your finger. Do try the street food - roti canai and nasi lemak are the best breakfasts in the world. Malaysians don't eat to live, they live to eat, so when you greet someone don't enquire after their health but simply ask 'sudah makan?' ('have you eaten yet?'). And be very, very tolerant about bad time-keeping - forget everything you've been told about time being money. Hi Nava, well done – ditch the fear and the detritus.

I did something similar and learned that getting rid of excess possessions can be a good thing. Ditto on the greatness of Shoppers. Good luck on your move.
