Given the offer I would have been packing my bag as you read this and heading out the door to Heathrow,an ex-pat package in asia is a very nice lifestyle The sun always shines,its a better social environment for kids,they always have a yaya or nanny to look after them,always out in the sun doing activities and if your based in Singapore you have the chance for them to learn mandarin,china is looming on the horizon as a super-power,a big player in the world Its not just the work environment nor the fringe benefits,its just living in a more relaxed environment and more opportunities for the child,at the end of the day everything is about the kids to be honest,you have to think whats best in their long term
