Migration

Moose Jaw is a nice and pretty little town Ged ....Originally posted by Gedanken:I would suggest that you stick you head into Singaporeans Overseas and see what's going on there.
Personally, I'd rather be in Melbourne than Moose Jaw.
............
they have this gigantic wooden moose as the town's mascot ...

I've thought of that too .... even checked out the real estate prices in Thailand ....Originally posted by the Bear:maybe i would move to Tahiti or Koh Samui to retire there
no freehold for farangs though ... only extended lease of 90 years ... unless Mrs Bear is a Thai lady ....
and the prices of real estate in places like koh samui and phuket has been sky-rocketing .....
Maybe Tahiti then .... or one of those little south pacific islands that no one's ever heard of .... strange, according to a NatGeo article sometime back, Tahiti's got quite a large asian population ... so perhaps it wouldn't be too difficult to get rice and soy sauce ... -
ive thought of moving to nunavut to live with the inuits

Yeah, I know - it's just got a funny-sounding name.Originally posted by Fatum:Moose Jaw is a nice and pretty little town Ged .... ............

Speaking of funny-sounding names, what's with the pronunciation of Regina? One of my friends went there and said that it sounds like a town that gets bigger as it gets older. -
Hmmm thought about it but SO loves it here plus he is tied to his job here as well
Natural for me to think about it since most of my family have all migrated and lots of my close friends have all migrated too

yes ... it's does sound like it ..... it's also the murder capital of the country ... in addition to being the provincial capital ....
they are not very creative when it comes to names anyways ....
there's london, surrey, newcastle, sydney, melbourne here too .... -

Good thing my mate gave it a miss.
Anyhoo, when my mates heard that it was pronounced Ruh-jai-na, you can imagine the jokes that were made in the pub that night. -
How come people associate migration with Club30?
-
because they assume that only working adults can migrate????
-
Hmmm....migration is a good thing....its like inflow and outflow...heck, our forefathers were migrants from cheena land or Ah noh nae or from Europe...
Heck....some of us are already migrating like me, some have gone before me and some will of course plan to....its all a matter of personal choice like what I always say...
Say, why don't we start posting pics of overseas living and see what ya all have to say -
Couldn't be more different from the Italian/Latin pronunciation.Originally posted by Gedanken:Anyhoo, when my mates heard that it was pronounced Ruh-jai-na, you can imagine the jokes that were made in the pub that night. -
May I direct your attention to this thread over at the Singaporeans Overseas forum?Originally posted by Coquitlam:Say, why don't we start posting pics of overseas living and see what ya all have to say -
Hehe, see you at Overseas Singaporeans...
Better name an off-shoot eventually called Overseas Ex-Singaporeans...that will be more like it...not for all though but for some of us who will... -
I spent a couple of months in Australia and absolutely loved it there. So much so that I'm seriously considering moving over to Australia but I'm not sure how.
What are the first few steps I need to do? Anyone? -
why?Originally posted by oldbreadstinks:i'm already 2nd class here, if i can have a better future else where why not?

I would recommend skilled migration. Work-related PR is a pain because while you need a job to apply, most employers will want applicants to have PR first.Originally posted by robokop:I spent a couple of months in Australia and absolutely loved it there.

Try Canada or Australia.....you'll love both places....
Yup...I also feel 2nd class here...don't know about you all but I've lost all hope....soon I will feel 3rd class here even.
Doing business is tough....but have made my mark here in sillypore....Of course won't die here but neither can you make big bucks....
Moving on to bigger things out of Sillypore.... -

since this thread's alive again .... I'd add a little tidbit about moose jaw that I just found out .... I had a few "incidents" there when I passed through the town some time ago .... I was wondering about that cos it's really somewhat out of character with what I've experienced with the rest of Canada so far ......
then a chap from school who lives in that area enlightened me about a little known fact .... Moose Jaw had the very first chapter of the Klu Klux Klan in Canada ...........
everything fell into place then ...
oh well ... migration is a very personal choice, and not something to be taken so flippantly .... there's no right or wrong choice ..... but you'd be naive if you think everything is lush and verdant on the otherside .... if you want to, jump with your eyes wide open .....

Migration .... let me think ...
A beautiful island in the middle of the ocean, crystal clear water, sandy beaches, labour day just 3hrs and the rest of the day is free time, high salary, low taxes, low prices, services for free, huge house on the beach ....
Ermm, now back to reality

Paradise indeed... until the first typhoon hits.Originally posted by thinkdifferent:Migration .... let me think ...
