Australia naman, marami na ako friends dun and it's not too far from Pinas just in case kailanganin umuwi.
I'm in the IT industry and sanay na akong mag OT at magtrabaho ng weekends/holidays and I don't expect na mabago yan when I finally get to work in AUS though sabi nga ng friends ko doon totoo talaga yung impression about the laid back (relatively) lifestyle.

Cost of living relatively the same (mataas ng konti sa AU) pero sweldo, is absolutely higher in AU... IT professionals working on the same field fetches around 30% more sa AU compared sa US
One of the good reads demonstrating comparison on AU vs US citizens buying power (how many hours needed to work in order to purchase goods)... It's a given fact na if we compare prices straight up, way cheaper and US prices than AU... but if you take into consideration how much you have to work to earn yung pambili, its a bit surprising na mas mura ang consumer goods sa au...

Lesson learned = work hard in AU, then take a break and shop hard in the US hahah!

And I quote:
"Singapore and Sydney top the global ranking
Good air quality, solid infrastructure and healthcare facilities, low crime and low health risks helped Singapore maintain the number one spot in the global ranking for quality of living for Asian assignees. The city is closely followed by Sydney.
Australian locations dominate the global top 10 with Perth (6), Canberra (7) and Melbourne (8) joining Sydney, Brisbane and Adelaide at the top of the ranking. In the region, the most notable change was New Zealand's Christchurch. The city dropped from 30th to 53rd place in the ranking as its housing and infrastructure were severely affected by last year's earthquake."

Staka dito naman mag busy tao dito kaya they only have time for them self. Di ka naman papasinin yun kung di mo naman papansinin sila. staka minsan di mo naman alam din kung pinoy o hindi kasi marami din Asian dito.
Dipende din sa ugali ng tao baka di rin naman friendly ang pinsan mo o mahiyain din. Staka baka di naman pala gala ang pinsan mo.
Kung gusto mo talaga may makilala ng pinoy o kaibigan. May mga pinoy community na nagba-bible study maganda magkaroon ng kaibigan dun.
May mga association din na mga pinoy puede umatend dun. search lang sa internet.
Dito naman pantay pantay lang nman kahit anung trabaho mo.
cheers

Kaya yung mga old timers, matindi ang discrimination sa mga bagong dating. They assume na they went to SG nung kakaunti pa lang pinoy so they think they belong to the "higher" class of migrant workers. Impression ko lang naman ito at di ko naman nilalahat.
Ang nakakatawa diyan, sa paningin ng mga lokal ay wala silang pakialam kung dumating ka rito on a budget flight or via SQ. Foreigner ka pa rin, period hehe.

Kung likas na mapagkumbaba ang tao, hindi yan magbabago Ganun din siguro sa kakayanan ng tao. Kung talentado ka at sumasakay ka ng budget airline, mas lamang pa rin siya kaysa sa taong sumasakay ng premium carriers (pakitang gilas ba) pero hanggang dun lang ang kaya niya hehe

Back to topic na sabi ni @aldousnow. Bakit nga ba Australia? Ako, as far as immigration process/requirements are concerned mas madali sa AU compared to Canada and New Zealand. Bata pa lang ako pangarap ko na mag-migrate. Kaya nung pagraduate ko nung college, inaral ko migration rules ng Canada and NZ with my bf then now husband . Hindi ko inaral yung sa AU kasi ayaw ko dun dati. Di namin ma-meet requirements ng Canada and NZ due to lack of years in work experience so I stopped dreaming about migration until 2010. I gave AU a chance and read a lot about it only to realize ang dali lang pala mag-apply dun and take note mas mura sya kaya ayun nag-tyaga talaga kami to meet and complete the requirements. Eto mga naaalala kong information dati. Please correct me na lang if I'm wrong or iba na rules nila Canada and NZ ngayon.
1) Sa Canada, ang application fee mas mahal. Ang bayad is yung main applicant plus additional fee per head. Sa AU, one payment lang kahit bente dependents mo kasama na sa application fee.
2) Sa Canada, may proof of funds ka na kelangan ipakita. Depende kung ilang family member ang kasama mo, starting at C$11K isang member. Sa AU walang kelangan for 175. Kahit credit card lang dala mo ok na.
3) Application processing takes almost 3 years sa AU less than a year lang, for 175 ulit. Less if may state sponsor ka (176).
4) Sa NZ naman merong requirement na kapag nasa NZ ka na, within 3 months dapat makahanap ng work na related sa skills mo. That's the time pa lang ka mabibigyan ng PR visa. Otherwise, kelangan mo bumalik sa bansa mo. Sa AU, basta PR ka, kahit anong work mo basta legal di ka nila pababalikin sa bansa mo.
Yan lang naalala ko sa ngayon.
In terms of lifestyle, entertainment, work and other factors acceptable naman ang AU samin, very favorable actually.

....at kasama ang Australia sa top 10 meaning basta matino English natin hindi tayo mamomoblema makisama sa mga Aussies hehe
Can't say the same for Singapore, Hong Kong or sa mga bansa sa Gitnang Silangan na may kanya kanyang wika. So in short, halos walang language barrier sa Australia

Napansin ko maraming mga Pinoy na taga SG na nag-co-consider to move to Australia dito sa forum, galing din kami Singapore. More than 5 years kami nag-work dun and kakadating lang namin dito early this year. May work na naghihintay nung nag-decide kami pumunta ng wife ko dito kaya madali yung decision to come. Pero nanibago ako, coming from Singapore na malinis at maayos lahat. Dami graffiti at madudumi ang mga train dito sa Melbourne, at di tulad ng Singapore kung saan makakain ka ng mura sa mga hawker centers, mahal kumain sa labas dito, kahit sa foodcourt ng mga malls around 7-10 dollars ang meals.
On the positive side, mataas and sweldo dito lalo ng pag nasa IT industry ka, at hindi stresssful dahil important ang family life sa mga Aussies. May mga fields na medo mahirap makahanap ng work dito, most especially manufacturing, dahil sa taas ng AUD.
