Alright. On a more positive note, the reasons why most people
choose to live their hometown is because their hometown sucks in
their own opinion. That is why my mum left her family because they
weren't very nice to her long ago. My dad left his country because
he was put on employment packages in SEA, because the job market
back home was very bleak. Now most people leave their hometown
because they cant get employed, or they earn very little money, or
because livelihood is not enjoyable.
I know from my own travelling experience that life can be great
overseas if you are on employment packages. When we were in
Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore (before), India and China, dad was
provided with basic amenities; 5 Cs as an employment package from
his employers. Life was very good and free easy, darn well better
than back home. Its all about value people place on things,
employers want people who can come up with ads, so they place high
value on my dad to work for them... similarly, we place high value
on more comfortable living, so we tag along with him migrating.
Thus my family left our hometown, because we did not value it much
at the time. But ofcourse values will always change.
