Due to the uprising of globalization these days, I have listed a few possible cities in which I may be interested to work in: 1. Tokyo 2. Shanghai 3. New York City 4. London 5. Kuala Lumpur I'm from Kuala Lumpur myself, so I'd like to know how it is like to work in a foreign city, with highly varying cultures and languages. Maybe Tokyo is a good choice? Thanks. Go TL! | ||

Shanghai or London sounds more reasonable. | ||

As a TLer (and assuming you're a SC fan as well), you aren't interested in Seoul? | ||

As a TLer (and assuming you're a SC fan as well), you aren't interested in Seoul? I've been to Seoul. The place there, to me, doesn't really fit, especially the food. And yeah, I'm a SC2 fan. I've been to Tokyo like five times? The people there are great, and the city life there is equally awesome. But yeah, like you said, the work ethic is a little out of the ordinary. But hey, Tokyo does have a great supply of beautiful girls. :D | ||

![[image loading]](http://www.cslacker.com/images/file/mediums/shanghai_1990_vs_2010.jpg) It has so much more potential than the others given. China's predicted role in the world in the next 10-20 years is set to be top, Tokyo has been in a recession for decades, great place to visit but working there doesn't seem like much fun with expensive houses and extra long work hours. The pound is tumbling with clueless politics and greedy banks still paying themselves bonuses despite negative growth. | ||

I'm currently living in Dubai and loving the look of China/Korean/Japan for the next stage in my career, whenever I get there.  | ||

I strongly recommend you choose a different degree. Perhaps one with value and/or meaning. User was warned for this post | ||

1) What career in business you want to go into 2) What are your longer term goals 3) What are you looking for by working in a foreign city 4) What are your expectations out of your job Edit: Don't work in Tokyo. Adding to what other people have said, Japanese corporate culture is very passive aggressive and nationalistic (there will be very clear Japanese and non-Japanese lines drawn in companies). | ||

But I don't think I'd live there. I'm going to say Shanghai or London. | ||

jobs in KL are as global and competitive as it gets. Both of us are Malaysians, so I guess we both know how the situation is right here now.  In addition, I was hoping to get a Japanese girlfriend by working in Tokyo. :S | ||
