QS - Charan's post - Asians earn thereabouts. Nowhere near the Westerners. That's why I said we are cheap-ish labour. One rung above the cheap labour.

/But having said that, for me, it's still better than home, for now. Till other concerns kick in, then I'll see.

boudi27 - Your post is not very clear - your salary of USD1,500 with car and the housing "are on the own of the company" ?? Huh? So the car and housing are provided or not?

- If provided, I think you can survive. Petrol is cheap here. Food wise, very expensive to eat out but just learn to cook or find a way to get food catered at a reasonably price - can be done. And if the offer is better than home, then it's fine.

- But if accommodation is not provided, your accommodation costs will sink you. All the best to you.

/Did you do a search around this site to check? I'm sure it's been posted and discussed somewhere on QL.
