This is a silly and hypocritical critique. All countries have their flaws, but you're really not being fair or objective. You lambast Japan for a lack of government transparency just as you finish extolling the virtues of Hong Kong and Singapore. You also conveniently fail to mention the salary required to live "like a king" in either of those two locations. Singapore ain't cheap. In fact, it's the world's most expensive city by several measures [1]. H1-B is pretty broad, and most applicants are certainly not eligible for mid six figure salaries in the finance hubs of Asia. "Highly qualified" for the purposes of this discussion does _not_ necessarily mean rolling in the dough. Lastly and most comically : Canada's parliament being desolved by the Queen? That's patently absurd. [1] http://www.bbc.com/news/business-26412821 http://www.bbc.com/news/business-26412821
