T.I.M.E

Hi guy..thought I might introduce myself to friends in this block...I work and live in Perth, Australia. Life here is quite different from life in Bangkok. Its very relax and easy going. Though I miss teh buzz of Bangkok. Today I found this news article from the website. It shows how much Aussie treasure their lifestyle. Have a read...if you like it...come and live here...:D


Employees are being urged to put their lives ahead of work and clock off on time to combat a culture of long hours.
Unions NSW is calling for all workers to take a stand against unpaid overtime on Wednesday for Go Home on Time Day.
"Today's event is an important symbol of how Australians feel about the ever-growing burden of unpaid hours," Unions NSW secretary Mark Lennon said.
"Australians work some of the longest hours in the developed world and it takes a terrible toll on family relationships, health and general community wellbeing."
Go Home On Time Day is an initiative of thinktank The Australia Institute.
The day of action comes after a report by the institute, Something for Nothing, which found the typical full time employee in Australia works 70 minutes of unpaid overtime a day.
That adds up to about 2.14 billion of unpaid hours every year, or "a $72 billion gift to employers", the institute says.
"Today's action is important, but we shouldn't see this as a one off," Mr Lennon said.

  2. Perth has nice big river called Swan river which run pass the middle of the city...its very nice. Also most of population live close to the ocean...so they have both river and ocean view. I would say aussie culture are very easy going, they love the outdoor activities and sports; BBQ, wave surfing, snorkeling, camping etc.

    I particularly like Perth becoz its close to Thailand, only 6.5 direct flight, so i can go home often :D
