Working in a foreign country
------------------------------
What is it about working in a foreign countries that attracts people? Here in Singapore, we have so many different nationalities although we are such a small country. I wonder sometimes why people would choose to come to Singapore?
We have kids from China, and now more and more koreans are coming here to study. Integrating into our society, speaking singlish just like most of us. They are so "singaporean". I think right now, it's harder to find a singaporean among so many foreigners! haha...everywhere you go, literally, singaporeans are becoming a minority. It seems like singaporeans are "foreigners" in their own land.
You go to shopping centres, restaurants, you will find that people serving you have a different accent and it's very easy to recognise that they are not singaporean. Is it because Singaporeans are too pamper to "serve" people? Too lazy becos it's a tough job? Or is it becos the pay doesn't warrant their work? We have so many foreigners who don't mind the hard work, long hours and in some places, they really find pride in what they do.
This kind of phenomenon is funny. Is it only here in sg that we find this kind of phenomenon or is it happening all over the world?
