So going abroad for studies or work is not really an Asian obsession. As our members say, it is a phenomenon seen worldwide. Whereas we may find a British national working in the USA, Americans or Canadians can be found in Europe or even in Asian countries. :)
For all the people working abroad, the extra money is an incentive. Plus the whole experience is seen as 'looking out of a window' kind of thing. So, if you are planning to go abroad, don't let anything stop you. You may be in for the most amazing time and experience of your life.:cool.
