Re: Pingy Pongy
Well I wasn't going to bother as think OP as mind made up, just wanting some confirmation to support decision to return. Fair enough. But hardly fair not to correct mistakes above. The economy is far from great. The re election of government will do nothing to alleviate the problems ahead, apart from causing greater division. The Aussie dollar is being down graded for a reason. That reason being the economy is doing poorly, with odds in favour of a recession next year. There are so many factors at play both internal and external few would care to predict any improvement and will be fortunate to tread water.
In my view the economics alone would make it concerning to ditch good jobs to come out in times of such uncertainty.
Yes drugs are a massive industry in WA. Suburbs don't play to much a part unless looking at the bottom of the market. The dealers/distributers live in middle class suburbs, drive very expensive cars, I've noticed Hillux being fairly common, but sporing type cars , new model BMW's even work vans with logo on sides, all may go towards disguising intent. Hours of operation starts usually around midnight and picks up in the wee hours. Now there is certainly a growth activity in high demand with potential ,, if don't end up in prison.
Gangs don't exist the same way as UK. Fact being few disgruntled youth hanging about the streets here. Nobody in the streets here for that matter. Doesn't mean not considerable violence though. WE don't have a tabloid press that exploits every incident and gets off on pushing stories of negativity. But some may recall the gang of girls going on a rampage a few days ago in the southern suburbs, bashing people and entering a medical centre creating further violence, or the gang fight that got members of the public involved as well or the nurse that was stabbed at RPH .....certainly violence happening out there.

Seeing as you asked, I'm here because I really enjoy living here. I make great money, live in a really nice house in a beautiful location, my son is thriving in a top school and overall I have a great lifestyle and enjoy a high standard of living
So, over to you - why are you here?

Acknowledging that one swallow does not a summer make I was nevertheless quite shocked to learn that my nephew (6' & 16 years) has been mugged twice in the last 6 months, in Melbourne centre, in daylight, once in a shopping mall & then again at a tram stop.

Re: Pingy Pongy
Our friends brothers sixteen year old son was stabbed to death ,almost five years ago now ,in a brawl at a birthday party that got out of hand when intruders forced entry. A New Zealand fellow I knew (since left state) was stabbed (arm, shoulder and neck) late at night at Cannington train station, (two and a half years ago plus)after being confronted by three blokes wanting to rob him. He fought back and that was the result. He was extremely fit, so was able to out run his attackers before collapsing and luckily taken to hospital. Not sure about the first, but the second was considered to be drug induced .

Where can you not get drugs? Singapore?
Canada was the easiest place by a country mile.

Re: Pingy Pongy
The case being drugs are very obtainable in Perth and a considerable scene revolves around it. Country WA as well.
On what grounds was Canada easiest? You mean you had no trouble scoring so speaking from personal experience? Connected with area somehow in law enforcement or drug prevention or hospital/medical/ social work/prison services ? No. So how so?
