@cookieblend Everything is different. I was born and raised in the UAE. Dun na ko nagaral, nagtapos, nakapangasawa and nagtrabaho din for 8 years. We've stayed there for over 30 years. It's actually both sad and satisfying to leave the country. Kahit na 8 years ako dun sa previous work ko sa AUH, I worry about job security a lot. Sa UAE pati, wala ka mapapala when it comes to long term. Money is good oo, pero not for everyone especially ngayon na naghihigpitan sila. At least dito, you secure your family by working. Kahit mawalan ka ng work, may susupport na govt sayo. Of course, kahit san naman tayo mga pinoy pumunta, makakaadapt tayo. Yung work sa una lang mahirap, pero once nakuha mo na yung gist, sisiw nalang saten ika nga. hehe
Lifestyle din is different, kung jan sa UAE lahat man-made, dito naman natural lang sya. hehe. They also value family life and time. UAE malls 24 hours - dito till 5 lang. Parang spoon fed tayo jan sa UAE, pero once hindi kana kailangan, wala uwi na Pinas.
Anyway, there are so many factors one can talk about and compare with what the differences are. I guess the bottom line lang is what are you really looking at in the future. Iba iba ang gusto ng mga tao, some would like to migrate permanently, some would just like to work and go back home, some would like to raise their children sa Pinas, some don't.
