I grew up in Melbourne and thought about moving back, but yeah the housing prices are out of control. And can't earn much in tech there compared to US.
What don't you like about Melbourne? I feel it is usually over-hyped.
It's a bit too urban and dreary for me. I'm from the US and it doesn't match my ideal of Australia; feels too much like a coastal Atlantic city. I'd prefer to be closer to nature, beaches, etc.
Hadn't heard of that term and looked it up. Wow, didn't know this was common. Most Brazilians I met seemed proud of their country. But maybe I'm meeting the rich ones overseas who can avoid the problems?
Is Portugal possible? You already speak the language.
Wow, surprised to see Hualian! I lived there for a year learning Mandarin and loved the nature and cost of living. But what about community? I found that part tough.
Most interesting development for me in 2019 were the ongoing political realignments - the right no longer sees the free market as compatible with their social values.
