    Singapore and HK are awesome. If you dont like those cities you seriously dont know where to go or have no idea on how to have a good time.

    Also with its huge diversity Singapore is one of the safest countries in the entire world. They have done a great job on that aspect. I worked there for a few years and safety there is number 1

    Yes I have. Paris, London, Switzerland, Poland and Germany - actually ALOT more as well like Italy, Greece, Turkey etc....

    I admit Europe is nice as well but thats because mostly the heritage buildings I like. But if I had to live somewhere I would choose HK/Singapore over London,Germany or Switzerland.

    Different strokes for different folks...

    The layout of European cities and societies are phenomenal particularly in Netherlands, Germany and Scandinavia... that is only if you like open spaces, nature and excellent functionality :)

    U Obviously haven't really travelled much outside ur shell

    Singapore and Hong Kong have some of the best cuisines in the world they are modern and clean cities

    Seriously Netherlands - unless u like the red light district , Germany and Scandinavia has some pretty bland food - throw some sausages and eggs yeah that's really up there

    By the way I do own property in Europe and Asia

    Sydney can crash for all I care but u just like make random conclusions without much thought outside copying links for justifications

    Have you even been to Netherlands? Consistently lauded as Mecca of town planning. I'm sorry if you only experienced the red light district and didn't have a good time. I guess there are some things even money can't buy :)

    There is a reason many asians migrate here from hk,china and singapore.

    Both hk and sg are small little states with millions cramped inside. Food and livings standards are great, but not a place u wanna be at when outbreaks of things like bird flu happens. Both little states get bad air pollution from neighbouring countries as well.

    For a million $$ u would only get a small 3 bed apartment vs option of house+backyard or acreage here.

    I'm not sure how my post relates to being in denial about anything.

    Markets go up, and markets go down.

    Although over the long term that may not necessarily be true, depending on your investment focus and temperament.

    Thanks for the travel recommendation, but I hear it's getting real cold over there shortly.

    Not sure why a lot of you are beating up on Singapore - It is constantly ranked the best city for expats to live it. What with its amazing and cheap cuisine; efficient public transport system; the best healthcare and one of the most cost effective; wage and career progression, stable political environment; thriving tech and financial hub - you would be hard pressed to find a better city to live in. I would suggest that unless people who have worked there for any length of time, you know nothing!

    @Pentanol Well that is what u get here - ppl who just know how to blame booms on Chinese, talk bird flue and others just copying links, blame Sydney with theories on data and pretending they work in Goldman Sachs. All u hear is Blame this and theories on this and that.

    Haven't heard any money making strategies outside of calling losses or blame this and that and how Asia is bad and some place in Europe is Mecca of planning

    All I can say is Mecca of "empty can making the loudest noise"

    @melbournian - hey mate, can I please suggest you ignore people like DowntownBlock. You're are a highly valued member on here and tons of people listen to you. I don't want him to **** you off and quit visiting these forums. PropertyChat thrives because of folks like you. Applies to @Leo2413 too and a lot of other people.

    lac kof personal space if you don't have money.

    kind of like those who are priced out of sydney at the moment desperately hoping for a crash (not naming names) - their best hope of getting into 5km radius of sydney CBD is a studio with a lack of personal space and all

    Downtown has an agenda.
    If I listen to all his threads I would put a gun to my head sell all my assets and live in a cave.

    Maybe we should reach out to him he could be going through a tough time?

    He has an agenda I would assume he wants to buy in Sydney but can't so he is trying to bash it to get into the market.

    @ ELUSIVE Sydney dreams...

    Sometimes people are going to show data that you don't agree with...

    I know you bought your first IP in Liverpool for less than 2.5% yield at the top of the cycle recently and are desperately hoping that Sydney will continue to boom....

    This may or may not happen.. Liverpool might become the next hot spot. The important thing is that you took action and started on your journey! Well done!

    If the data showing Sydney prices falling concerns you, I would actually recommend living in a cave... Definitely don't read / watch mainstream media or talk to anyone who understands basic arithmetic...

    PS Again, welcome to the site and we encourage any constructive posts you might have :)
