@AussiePB, are you one of the "foreign talents" who have displaced Singaporeans out of their jobs? Sigh, this is the way it is now, for the whole world. Now the entire globe is the marketplace, and everyone is competing with counterparts from all over the world for a job. Sad but true. Being a technical writer myself, I can feel this all too well. I know that some (many?) American technical writers have lost their jobs to counterparts from other countries, including Singapore. Meanwhile, people like me compete with mostly Indian nationals (there are also Filipinos, Sri Lankans, Indonesians, Malaysians etc) for a job. Good thing my job requires me to be bilingual in English and Chinese. So that kinda gave me an edge over them (for now). In future, the Chinese will also rise in their command of English, and then where would I go? Hmm.....!!!

I thought of going to Shanghai before, but being a wife, it's not as easy for me to move since my husband and I are planning to have a baby next year. The air in Shanghai didn't seem too good when I was there. There's like this persistent fog (smog) in the air all the time.
