It depends. Those who are more into western lifestyle and have no deep chinese roots woud migrate to the western countries and stayput. Those who have deeper Chinese roots and not so into western stuff would rather be in neighbourhood Asian countries (not my cup of tea). Cost of living is not...

Adelaide is a country town. It is strived to become an international education hub in Australia (a few reputable US & European institutions have setup base here but all doing badly) which doesn't make sense to me consdering the pin size population and economy of South Australia. Go there for...

It depends on what stage of your life you'll in. If you have kids, most would stay on for the sake of giving them a better life. I know some left for another country for better job opportunities (not neccessary back to Spore) and some point in time might return. This is not unique to...

I'm in similiar situation , dad is fast aging and not well - there's many opportunities to move back to sg as i'm in the financial industry, but just don't want to go back working in same shitty workplace environment infested with FTs especially ah nehs. My next alternate destination is HK...

Above 40s - you can forget about Asia esp spore, they prefer the young guns as they are cheaper and eager to slog in long hours and no family commitment. upgrading your qualification can only do so much at your age. Both age and experiences are against you (since you took entry level jobs in...

There are units/apartments built next to a mall - usually the supermarket near to city close pretty late (up to midnite) but yeah but all other shops are closed except cafes and pubs. Widnow shopping in Oz is a no-brainer (overpriced, bad quality) and the discount warehouse here is a joke (DFO...

So what does integration and assimilation mean apart from watching footy & going to the pubs for drinks friday after work? The Aussie dramas and talk shows are hideous to watch. (I must say I can't recognise any of the local celebrities apart from a handful of them and those usually are those...

well the differences is in Sg FTs or whatever u name them are welcomed with open arms and everything is well organised for them even before they landed the little island. In OZ, you have to do everything by yourself (if no friends or family support) to get settle down (usually a couple of...

It's the immigrants that make this country so great ( though we do get the rotten ones as well) where u can find good italian cruisine, greek, japanese, korean, chinese, viet etc. and cheap imports. making friends via sports is the easiest path as there is no cultural boundary. Immigrants...

what Australians are concerned about it's also what immigrants(probably more as they faced more uncertainty eg. discrimination,lack of family support, make new friends etc.) are experiencing these days. Without immigrants this country is stagnant and will not move forward. Australians have been...

no idea, don't hesitate to apply directly to them though.

I've worked in 3 organisations since I arrived 3 years ago and they'll all banks. 1st one is a french bank - very disorganised, backwards in technology adoption (typical French) and poor in planning, contractors benefited the most as they pay high rates, terrible place for perms. Overtime...

I don't think this is unique just in Spore, even in western countries couples are either not having kids or having less. The same issues experienced in Sg is happening in Oz - high cost of living, stressful worklife, no family support/expensive to hire nanny, no time for kids etc. The...

With America and Europe on crisis now, you'll see more applications from the west applying to OZ & NZ ( another group will head to Asia but mostly for job opportunities especially in financial industry) which is what the government wants as the rate of Asian immigration in the last few years had...

i don't know much about Perth, only have been there once in my life. I would imagine many asians will move to the bigger city i.e sydney or melbourne for better job opportunities and less descrimination towards them. One of my friend(sporean) chose Melbourne as her final destination after...

This is more than racial issue, it's nationality and the pride that comes with it. Racially majority are chinese in Spore, but due to the colonial influences and the emphasis on English education Sporeans are in between the western and chinese culture. We'll were all proud and celebrate for Li...

Try to do that in Workplace Sydney you'll get slaughtered as in certain teams it can be outnumbered by Asians. I recalled 2 years back I attended a workshop about team leadership,one participant (from accent she's probably from Ireland) was making a comment about asian members in her team tend...

Singaporeans should not have any problem as their education standards are high, they speak English well, they are highly westernised and certainly more likely to adapt than some other 3rd world entities. Haha, I'm not sure about 'they speak English well' - yes, I reckon majority of Sporeans make...

The opposite can be the truth as Asians we can't tell a caucasian if he's a Aussie, Canadian, American, Kiwi, European etc. until he opens his mouth. Of course we don't expect them to know much about us as by itself there's many cultures and subcultures within the Asian community so it's pretty...

Not easy even for native English speakers, my partner is in education that's what she told me. Too many PRC nationals come through education route to get their PRs but couldn't land a job anyway(because of their poor language skills) despite graduating with postgraduate degrees. Politically...
