"Crime is low here and naturaly the money goes further. In general I began to find the UK a bit of a depressing place. Overtaxed, expensive and with a nanny state attitude. Thats not to say you can do what you like here in the workers paradise.

Er, bit of an understatement that last bit. +Comparing living in Britain to China?

Tried looking up 'Tiananmen Square' from your Chinese version of Google? Want to carry a picture of the HH Dalai Lama? Want to say what you think? No way!

I bet you're glad you're off to Australia - at least you'll be able to call the Chinese Government a bunch of morally and politically corrupt dictators who torture their own people and virtually enslave many others whilst maintaining an illegal occupation of a sovereign nation, and oppressing it's people by relocation of Han Chinese and systematic persecution of it's religious and political leaders including the kidnap and incarceration of it's second most important leader The Panchen Lama.

But sorry, you can't can you?

We're all guilty of supporting China to a greater and lesser degree, and I too find Britain depressing sometimes, but thank the maker it isn't like China (yet - we'll all be speaking Mandarin in fifty years time).
