Thanks vc45. How come is it that every time I go on a trip to anywhere overseas I try to brainstorm whatever means humanly possible to live and work permanently in the country I visited and not have to go back to the humdrum life in the country I currently reside in? Anyone in Thailand or Vietnam looking for an environmental engineer?

Back to Paul_au's comments,... Paul, you state that you are a self-made (semi-?) millionaire and you have stated in the past that you are pro-capitalism. Yet you are anti-immigration. What I don't think you realize is that capitalism owes its existence on an overabundance of cheap labor, so that the capitalist can maximize his or her profits. Thus, the lower one can pay their workforce, the more profit there is to extract. Irony of ironies, Paul_au, is that you have become very successful, be it directly or indirectly, on the availability of cheap labor within the web of the Australian economy. And that cheap labor undoubtedly correlated to the influx of immigrants to your country. Therefore, you owe your success to that which you vehemently dislike, i.e., immigrants.
