SMOC, we moved here when I was 11 years old so again no I am not a local but you may say that we have had to adapt n sacrifice a lot. For what its worth I dont plan to retire here... Yeah flats are small here but what you gonna do? Not everyone can afford to rent a bigger flat and thats why Im looking always for ways to increase my pay. You will all eventually be broken in or broken completely. Take it as you may.... If the west is so good why not get a job as a pilot there...oh right cause the pay is worse than what CX pays.
