(semi-consciously, I tend to play up the adv of SG and play down the adv of US…) This is a biased view of nice things about US… Feel good about the prospect@US…

Above should move into post about “US^SG”

• spacious homes, possibly with garden
• high rental yield esp. with strata lease
• job: I don’t feel (like in Singapore) left behind by increasing number of high fliers who were once my peers. This subconscious and irrational sense of inferiority is deep-rooted, pervasive, insidious. It’s something to rationalize away if I stay in Singapore. No such painful feeling if in US.
• job: i feel needed, in-demand, respected
• job: I feel tech IV is my game. No such game in SG
• more places for vacations
  • more places for hikes
  • more nature
  • winter vacations
• name brands cheaper
• winter sports
• culture of outdoor sports
• communication style is simpler and more natural
• free movies
• can drive — some people really enjoy it
• There’s a chance I could help kids get a job in finance or tech, if he wants to
• broader perspective for the growing mind
• kids can more easily go to Europe or Asia. Somehow Singaporeans are not venturous.
• 4 seasons… not so hot all year round. Important to boy and grandma
• cheaper milk
• buy cheap books online — to build up my tech advantage
• buy and return anything
• U.S. is more of a reading society
