Before I start writing the whole post , I would like to apologize
first if my post offense you somehow . Some of my ideas and thoughts
may be completely opposed with you as the Subject has described
already , it is a controversial topic .

One of my friend ( he's the member in this group , but i won't mention
who he's ) once told me that he won't go and work in S'pore if he can
only save 500,000 Kyats per month . Then he continue on that he can
even make that amount or even more in Myanmar . My post is based on
this topic actually . And don't forget that It doesn't related with
any Government's action or their acts . Just base on my opinions .

Firstly , I'll tell you the most advantages part of going abroad . In
abroad , you are by yourself . Yes , I agree that you are staying with
room-mates and also with some friends . But remember , they are not
your family members nor your relatives . Nothing is thiker than
Blood !!! . So you have to stand on yourself . You are fully
responsible on your living expense , your room rental fees and some
more . At your home , your meals are ready for you . But now , you
have to cook yourself . If not ? then buy . Still not ? then you must
suffer what hunger means . Let's say , you are sick and can't go to
work . So you are now alone in your room because all your friends are
out to work . What will you do when you are seriously ill and can't
even get up to go to clinic ? ( Don't forget you are lonely ) . Or you
are feeling very depressed and feeling lonely , but there is not even
a single person to share the feeling with you ? Yeah , that's why
staying with the family is better , as you may complain me . But
That's the experience which is invaluable . And that's what life
really means .

ok . Not satisfied ? Continue on ....

In this paragraph , I will compare the living standard between two
countries . Let's say , you can save the same amount of money by
working in Myanmar or more . In S'pore , electricity is 24 hrs
( Guarantee !!! ) , able to watch movies through internet connection ,
mobile-phone connection is very convenient ( except some underground
train stations ) , you can keep billions of money in your thin wallet
and some more goodies . But in Myanmar , we can use internet but many
websites are being banned , GSM is not working properly in some area
( and also hard to buy to get the line ) and many more troubles . When
you are buying something in SG , you don't really need to negotiate
it . You just have to think of two things . One is whether you like it
or not and another one is whether you can affort or not . If you like
and can affort it , then pay the fees . That's all . Don't ever think
you paid more than its real cost . They won't even take if you are
willingly to pay more . If you want to buy electronic device or mobile
phone , no need to check whether the battery is fine or the device is
working well . The cost is worth to the device . So there is nothing
to worry about .

So , What about now ???

By the way , I don't want you to misunderstand to me . Just because
I'm saying good things about Singapore doesn't mean I'll migrate to
that country . I'm just letting you know what life is over there .
Till now , I only have been Singapore and like it more than Myanmar .

Now , you may have many disagreements with me . It's ok , I'll be glad
if you feel free to discuess with me the way you think . Replies are
warmly welcomed !!!
