Running out of places to run to

Why many have little desire return to Malaysia

- Because our perception is that there is no market for our skills (computer animation, clown doctoring, journalism, Internet education).

- For people who don't want to live in a small town, there is no other big city in which to live aside from congested KL.

- Society is religious, but in the wrong way.

- The people who live there are scary.

Why many hate New York

- Real estate is ridiculously overpriced, even in its slums.

- The people are trendy but dull.

- The winters and summers are terrible.

- We've reached our sensible 30s and we will no longer accept getting less value for our money (cramped living quarters, expensive groceries, ugliness).
