After a quick shower and breakfast, consisting of cereals or tapsilog, pulling his jacket over his suit and left for work. Take the fast train at 7:39, 7:50 or 8:15 am to Redfern, a suburb about 40 miles from Hornsby am. The train takes to reach a half-hour Redfern, where he worked for a software company.

AComputer analyst earn U.S. dollars from 45,000 to 100,000 Australian dollars Australian per year depending on their qualifications and experience. This is a significant amount in addition to what they earn in Manila, despite the highest living standards in Australia.

And as they are related to their host country, Australia?

"The Australians are friendly," says Albert. greetings in the stores are the customers with a "good day" or "how are you" and you should return the greetingor be considered rude. Filipinos gather local expressions like "Ripper!" (Ang Galing) fast enough. Store hours are, however, such as office hours.

Foreign workers should be their best at work. He or she works hard to meet deadlines, and enjoy weekends and holidays. Weekends are sacred institution in Australia. Are spent outdoors, the beach,National Park, sporting events and barbecues.

To the average Filipino workers, experience the outdoors offers new in their lives. Beaches, for example, are abundant and accessible to the public free of charge. With 36,000 kilometers of coastline, Australia's beaches are wide and clean, with undulating waves are perfect for surfing.

Feast on grilled sea bream, catfish or custom, after a double pleasure for a beginner.

If the station is the oddity of a game of cricket, rugby and Australian football summer, spring, or just a friendly meeting with the rabbits in Australia only a train ride offers a new way of life for Filipinos. More than the intact environment is theEffectiveness and efficiency of the system in the country, of course, the migrants. The system works for everyone, not for the chosen few. " This is the perception of Filipino workers abroad. There is dignity in work and a sense of equality.

The middle class in Germany and the great Filipino workers abroad to pay taxes, insurance and private pension funds (pension) for free for the Australian government. Taxes are very high rates comparedPhilippines. However, these tax payments in a clean, safe and efficient are translated.

A move to another country is an important decision. Adapting to winter, the Australian accent and slang, rules and regulations to be applied strictly and a sophisticated environment where gambling is legal and gay men are more open to us are part of the "battle for the future." Filipino workers abroad in Australia continues its skills, talents, and labor market, contributingthe economic system. Ripper!
