Certainly America is on bargain now, but being sporeans their biggest concern are still job security and economy stability of the country which America is still relatively shaky. Also, green card is very hard to get and some have to wait for years to obtain one, in between he can't even leave...

"Which has translated into a 10-30% price increase in food prices in European nations such as the UK. In the past 3 years while the US has enjoyed near deflationary price pressures prices have been increasing elsewhere. Some food staples have increased 50% in Europe in the last 3 years. Look at...

Asians here also have the 'paperchase syndrome. I've met a couple of them with multiple degrees and still pursuing another degree. One of them did his bachelor to his 3rd postgraduate degree consecutively, after a few yrs break still continuing another postgraduate degree even with a...

One of the Go8 uni. Well I've also have a Master degree from our mightly NUS, but I take the Aussie uni anytime.

well considering Oz is still a relative young country without the history of America and europe; sheer size of country with only 30+ universities, its graduates (like myself hehe) and academics are in great demand throughout the world, i reckon its a great achievement in higher education. The...

They are not suppose to 'stereotype' people based on ethic. Besides, they perceive asians are all the same.

I don't it is any 'much' cheaper in other cities when it comes to entry houses and cars, they are comparable or slightly cheaper but not a huge difference. The luxury houses are probably more expensive(esp those with landmark harbour/opera house view). It doesn't help with local celebrities...

Its all about economy law of demand and supply. NSW residents though pay 'less' for grocery but they have to endure the bad infrastructure , congested trafffic, and paying more for premium such as houses. However, sometimes because of the high volume of human traffic, you can take 'free'...

Its hard to believe if they have made 'massive property gains' in Perth they actually complain about the high cost of living there. Its also hard to believe they don't miss the Perth laidback life after going back to Singapore. So they actually enjoy living in hot & humid, cramped high rise...

I don't live in Perth, don't know. Didn't your hideous relatives already moved out complaining the high cost of living? Or they can't afford to buy 'private healthcare'?

well its the Asians that brought in retail competition and bargain sales. w/o asians, the financial industry will collapse as well because whites can't work with numbers. w/o asians, australia would not escape the GFC and housing crisis. like it or not, they are always be there...
