I understand what you mean, but it’s not exclusive to wealthy countries poaching people from developing countries either right. In Germany(already a wealthy country) doctors move to Switzerland for better pay and better working conditions t

It’s not Netflix, but content rights I suspect.

Agreed. Outside of the US a lot of content is just not available at all.

The series are also getting canceled after 1 season. I stopped watching Netflix originals just like you.

In Australia half of the content is not available since there are also local competitors. I use Disney+ and Netflix, but I’m tired of wasting hours to find out if that particular movie streams in my country or not. At first we were progress

As an expat, I go there where I get treated best. Why wouldn’t I? Do I owe my country of birth anything?

As a German living in Australia, I’m shocked what happened to Germany. Politics turned to Left-wing/Green party vs AFD and there is no middle ground anymore. The FDP basically disappeared and there’s a cliff in society over things like

I lived in Singapore before and it's more run like a company and. It has no personal freedoms, but on the other side they have HDBs(government housing) which is affordable for their residents. Australia has no affordable housing altern

You are not far off. China used Chinese students in Australia as a pawn in geopolitics to support the regime. The previous generation of ethnic Chinese is better integrated, but the new generation is very patriotic and loyal to the communis

Australia basically sold everything to China and gave the Darwin harbor away on a lease. The entire economy relies on selling real estate to rich foreign investors, international students, and mining. https://www.abc.net.au/

I think I'd rather take a pay cut and live in a place I actually like. I have been working remotely for more than 2 years and I can't imagine going back to an office every day. The open-plan layout, the noise, the struggle to find

I think it reached a point of no return. HK is still a very special place, but I see a lot of expats leaving for Singapore and Hkers leaving for overseas(BNO visa). Singapore is more stable, but has even less freedoms than HK though.

Yes, the issue is that regular people are denied the same chance.

Not exchanged, but considering Australia and America are both immigrant countries, you may be able to get an Italian or Irish passport based on ancestry if your ancestors came from there.

While $2350 is expensive, compare that to Australia. My friend got sponsored by his partner for a partner visa and the fee is AUD7,850 for most applicants. https://immi.homeaffairs.gov.au/visas/getting-a-visa/visa-

This was a good read. It's interesting that you decided to stay in HK after the protests/hostile takeover in 2020. My partner and friends all left HK for the UK, Australia, and Canada.

The lockdown works pretty well in other countries. It's just people in Sydney being ignorant. There are still house parties and carefree people. The anti-lockdown protest didn't help, but it wasn't totally unexpected consider

When I lived in Singapore, I got an American Express cashback card with 3% cashback on the first $5000 and 1.5% unlimited cashback for everything > $5000. They waived the annual fee and there was no minimum spend. Another card(the annual

I'm not American, so I have less insight than you perhaps, but I'd say America is much more affordable than Australia. In Australia most jobs are in Sydney and Melbourne. Perth is mostly for mining and Brisbane doesn't have m

Sorry, I should have said Germany instead of Europe since the European market is pretty diverse. The German word for debt is schuld(Schulden) , which has the same meaning as guilt and is associated with something bad.

As a foreigner in Australia, I can't help but to think that Australians really don't know how to handle finances and are too irresponsible to use a credit card, so Afterpay and Zip stepped in. Maybe it's because I grew up in

I wouldn't say it's bad, but the government is doing a pretty terrible job to run the country https://www.smartraveller.gov.au/COVID-19/leaving-Australia There's a ban on overseas travel from Australia.

Thanks for the tips. Are you based in Toronto as well? I figured I apply for the Canadian PR as soon as possible and after that I'm more flexible with location and may just do some remote work for an US company too. The work visa is th

Thanks for the answer. I will be moving with my partner. If I accept the offer I got, I'd be on a work visa, so I don't plan to buy a car and live near a subway line until I get permanent residency. The company is in the business
