    Migrants leaving Australia

    depending on which country you are from, really. Bottomline, Oz is losing it's appeal - tourism suffers the most especially. There's other choices - NZ, canada, US. Initial settlement cost is very high, if you have been here for a long time - good, otherwise, not recommended for new migrants.

    Chinese New Year in western countries

    why he doesn't fly home for CNY when it's only 4 hrs away? For the record - fireworks on the street had been banned ages ago - literally there's not much CNY atmosphere in SG. In Sydney, we get fireworks all the time at Darling Harbour, there's firecrackers and lion dance in Chinatown and CNY...

    3RD week as a new migrant in the outback

    well it's not hard to tell why indians get the racism treatment everywhere they go - it's something about them isn't it? To be honest, many immigrants i come across do not associate themselves with the Aussies including the kiwis, South africans, Poms, Irish - many of them mock at the...

    3RD week as a new migrant in the outback

    aiya, of course there are racism everywhere - is the same in US, canada, uk, SG. In oz, there's still rednecks around thinking they are more superior. Asians will always be easy target, as there some form of stereotype they can be bullied. So - why worship Australia and dress up like them and...

    I'll never bother to watch any Aussie dramas does that make me 'un-Australian'? Well - big bang theory features a Indian ( speaks with complete Indian accent) as one of the lead actors, Aussies have got a lot to learn from America.

    Emigrating? Think Australia the Lucky Country? No way, now branded "Land of Rip-Ofs"

    Re: Emigrating? Think Australia the Lucky Country? No way, now branded "Land of Rip-O Indeed. Oz shopping is a real 'yawn' - not only ridiculously overpriced but lack of variety and simply backward. Just walk in to myers and see how far the retail scene there is behind the major department...

    More Australians Choosing to Move to Singapore

    Of course Aussies are moving to Sg in flocks. Their base salary start from at least 200k and come with relocation package plus lower tax. In Aus they are probably being paid in the range 120-150k with a 40% tax. EX-sporeans can always try getting a job in Sg and see what they get . They are...

    EB-5 Green Card (Investor's greencard)

    U never try u never know. Emigration doesn't mean it has to be permanent. I met a lot of migrants in Sydney, most of them are not sure if they are going to be here forever, or go back to their home country, or somewhere else. However, at least they have options to choose where to live when they...

    "We don't want Auckland to be the next Singapore"

    I can understand how these older generation kiwis feel. Chinese people ( I believe they meant those from mainland China) do have a totally contrasting culture, values & lifestyles from the whites. They are the hardest to integrate in the western society due to their chinese communism...

    Asian kids bullied

    Half truth. Why Asians left corporate earlier to start business because they knew they can't go any further - not because they can't do it but is the perception/stereotype they can't lead just like how women are discriminated for top jobs in the workplace. However, asians are smart in making...

    Asian kids bullied

    Hardly any surpise, this is especially so in Aus/NZ there is almost no Asian Senior Executives in Top corporate firms (apart from education). Until Asians become 'mainstream' (like black Africans) and that has to start from somewhere eg.(media) this is not likely to change for many decades...

    Why the Richest Chinese are migrating to USA, Canada, and Singapore

    Considering only under 1,000 applications got approved, it's not a big number relative to the population size of the US. US still has 9% unemployment rate , of course it's good for the US economy to bring in wealth. However, I don't think it will be any significant boost. Chinese...

    Comparing Adelaide with Melbourne/Sydney

    Sporeans are indeed annoying. I don't think there's a 'cheap' city in Australia but Sporeans do expect everything ticks at the lowest cost. Well, even the white immigrants (from American, kiwis, canadians, South Africans, pommies, Irish I spoke with are complaining the value they received in...

    Comparing Adelaide with Melbourne/Sydney

    well it can't be worse than Darwin, i know there's a chinese restaurant run by a Singaporean migrant. Darwin is a sad outback town - probably more aborginals than whites. as i mentioned earlier adelaide has been promoted as a education hub just like Boston in the US (hence invited the US...
