I leave one week from this Friday.

Quote from: Shen Li on February 21, 2024, 12:19:40 PMI leave one week from this Friday.

Let us know how it goes.

I wonder if the grass truly is greener on the other side.

And if it is, what kind of obstacles or pitfalls do you face on your journey there.

Keep us updated, okay.

Absolutely!

I hear/read that Singapore is a real mecca for investment and opportunity

I suppose since China cracked down on Hong Kong, Singapore has really blossomed.

I suppose many people from HK migrated to Singapore and took their money with them.

I'll let you know after I've lived there a while.

I'm interested in moving somewhere else too.

Or at very least living somewhere else for at least part or 1/2 of the year.

I don't feel there's any obligation or need to live ft in Vancouver anymore. Especially after I retire.

Best option is if a person can live somewhere else, run a small mobile biz as a digital nomad and be paid in USD, Euros or a similarly stronger currency.

People who've gone overseas to live have told me that is one major problem. That their earning power dropped or was limited because of weaker currencies they were paid  in these smaller countries. So I suppose the trick is to maintain the salary of a 1st world nation but enjoy the benefits of a lower cost of living in another country.

That way I suppose a person can live like a king and at the same time, save more

I like Singapore. They don't fuck around over there. Spray paint some cars and they'll cane your ass good.

Singapore is very different than Taiwan, which is the liberal country in the region.

Quote from: formosan on March 02, 2024, 11:50:03 AMSingapore is very different than Taiwan, which is the liberal country in the region.

someone who told me who's visited Communist China & Taiwan regularly remarked upon the differences between the two nations.

Communist Mainland China, everyone is tense thinking they are being watched all the time.

Taiwan he remarked, people are lot friendlier and more open.

Guy was born in a communist country too.

so he must know what he's talking about.

He left where he came from tho because he said he was afraid his country would one day be invaded by Russia again.

A lotta posters here sing praises of Putin. But people who lived under Russian/Soviet Rule think otherwise.

Polish people who experienced occupation by the Soviets/Russians and the Nazis/Germans told me they really hated Russia and the russian people. But Germans OK and were way better occupiers.

That's one opinion..

There are friendly people on both sides of the Taiwan Strait.

Trudeau is talking about expanding hid departure tax to stem the flow of Canadians like old Shen Li who have said fuck it and left this country.

If Justine gets backing from Jagmeet it could cost Shen twenty five grand. Her old man another twenty five grand. Justine makes this country horrible, so people leave and then robs them on the way out.

The rich won't care of course. This is another attack on the middle class with in demand skills and the upper middle class. He knows he is killing them, but he won;t let them leave with their own money.

You cannot blame old Shen Li or the millions of other Canadian citizens and permanent residents that have pulled the pin on Justine's Canada.

This is the shithole they are fleeing.

Canada is third world compared to Singapore.

I haven't heard about this.

I'm going back to Edmonton next month to look after a couple of things. My sons will be done their school year and they will go to Singapore with me. Mom will stay and the house will go on the market.

We're not planning on giving True Dope one fucking nickel from the sale.
