Why are we still here?
I've been following the thread "Help! Dubai or Perth?" and most of the people that have replied are living in Dubai.
If we'd rather live in Perth (or anywhere else for that matter) why are we still here?
For me I agree I'd rather live in perth - but at this point in my life it's more important to try and get ahead financially - and it seems in my industry this is about the only place I can do it. So I guess what it means is for now i'd rather live in Dubai in actual fact, even though i'd say (not having been there) that perth would be much better in all other aspects than living in this :curse: sh.ithole.

Re: Why are we still here?
good point - may be should start another thread with WHY ARE WE HERE??? never mind why are we still here!!!! sometimes the story behind how we ended up here in the first place may be very interesting.
