More outgoing daw ang tao, mas malaki mag pasweldo in general, mas recognised ang Overseas qualifications and experience, mas laid back at mas madali mag process ng visa
Sa pinas daming bagay na take for granted mostly priceless. Simple pero rock. Iba kasi ang environment sa pinas laging masaya. Pero less opportunity lang kasi tska ang baba ng sweldo =(

Mas malaki sweldo kasi malaki/mataas ang cost of living. Lunch nga dito eh $15 isang subway at softdrinks, pag sa mga rural areas fish and chips $25 wala pang sauce.
Laidback - yan ang the best (except Sydney - parang atmosphere pa lang na stress na ko, no offense sa mga taga sydney, bukid lang kasi brissy).

Sa previous work ko meron fresh fruits every day sa umaga. Saging yung unang nauubos sa cart.
may beer/wine every meeting mga twice a month. Flexi hours pero 7.5 hrs din. 7.5/32.5hrs a week is standard working hours. Work sa bahay, pwede. Pagpatak ng 4 uwian na!
Don't get me wrong, maganda sa Sydney. Maraming shops, restaurant, entertainment. Madami lang yung tao kaya parang divisoria ang dating sa 'kin kumpara sa bukid environment dito sa brissy.

Budget Surplus
A situation in which income exceeds expenditures. The term "budget surplus" is most commonly used to refer to the financial situations of governments; individuals speak of "savings" rather than a "budget surplus." A surplus is considered a sign that government is being run efficiently. A budget surplus might be used to pay off debt, save for the future, or to make a desired purchase that has been delayed. A city government that had a surplus might use the money to make improvements to a run-down park, for example.
