Australia, like any other place, may not be considered a "real paradise" by everyone. The perception of paradise is subjective and can vary greatly from person to person. While Australia is known for its beautiful landscapes, diverse wildlife, and high standard of living, it also has its own set of challenges and drawbacks. When it comes to deciding whether to leave Hong Kong or stay, it's an individual decision that depends on various factors such as personal circumstances, priorities, and opportunities available in different locations. Some people may consider Australia or any other country as a preferable option due to factors like political stability, economic opportunities, or a different cultural environment. Others may have strong connections, family ties, or personal reasons to stay in Hong Kong despite any difficulties it may face. Ultimately, the decision to leave or stay in any place is a personal one and should be based on careful consideration of individual circumstances, aspirations, and priorities.
In my point of view they are not poor. I guess they are trying hard to save for their future migration. If the salary they earn is high, then how can they be poor.
@@samckwong Totally agree! @GK0128 What 福利國家.? Where is the benefit money coming from? Of course it is from the taxpayers. Those 乞衣 just want to take 福利 but don't want to pay any tax. Poor middle class pays 40% income tax compares to the 乞衣 pay nothing or very low income tax and get the max benefit.
I think the cost of accommodation are the highest in Sydney and Melbourne but definitely not the grocery. I find the grocery of Sydney is cheaper than Melbourne and Brisbane. HKD is pegged with strong USD and make HK extremely expensive for foreigners like you and me. Do they have strict censorship of the books they are allowed to sell and displayed in the book store in HK nowadays ?
Of cause there are very strict publication censorship in HK since the incident of HK Causeway Bay Book shop incident (refer to Wikipedia website). The owners and manger were abducted into mainland China for prosecution and jailed after disappeared for 3 months. Approximately, 2 years ago, books in school and public libraries were off the shelf if it deem to be not in line with the Communist Party’s political ideology.
Please try not to mislead your audiences and minimise your negativity about cities including HK - I am afraid I need to correct what you commented in your video with your personal experiences: you compared ‘apple to banana’ - 1) judging Cantonese cuisines in a city of 7.4 million Cantonese-speaking HK population with less than 300,000 Cantonese speaking residents in Australia; understanding this is your own preference, but you didn’t highlight Aussie multinational cuisines (such as varieties of Asian food in Australia; 2) comparing HK Economic Newspaper with Aussie major TV channels, not studying those diversified, high quality main Aussie newspaper, such as Australian Financial Reviews or Sydney Morning Herald; 3) As Australia’s capital cities are equally good, whether new migrants can find jobs depends on individual strengths, qualities, qualifications and market nature of each city; 4) please don’t generalise somethings you know a bit as well as only focus on a small sector or a tiny community, kindly open your eyes and minds widely and freely to accept new culture (including cuisines from other nationalities which you may not easily find in HK or other Asian cities) and new ideas. Try not pretend to be an expert on everything (eg, migrant problems} and issues (eg, economic analysis).
Nothing relating to the analysis of Lonely Planet, I have occasionally listened some youtubers to provide their personal opinions and experiences, hence I come up some of my own views, particularly about some sensitive questions. Though we are free to say whatever you believe is ‘true and accurate’, their views or comments could often irritate and even mislead audiences. I had done some research work, specifically benchmarking data and information for more than 35 years before I retired. I have lived in this wonderful country, Australia for almost four and half decades , and come across with some very difficult experiences when I played my role in this area. Some challenging while other offensive. In a multicultural society, like Australia, RU-vidrs, please understand the whole picture of an issue and kindly spend more time and effort to do research work before expressing your own judgement. Understand that your feedback isn’t conclusive, or largely reflects your views, but some audiences may seriously take your opinions as a guide. Cautious and alert. Hope this could help.
Agreed, also He said that it is easier to find job in large cities such as Sydney and Melbourne. To be honest, it might have more job numbers , but he didn’t mention the competition of finding jobs by a lot of similar skill sets. In smaller cities like Brisbane, Perth etc have more opportunities, less competition and easier to start up your own business. What he said is right may not be beneficial to other readers!
