The standards in Philippines and Indonesia are also something I should have mentioned. If you have ever been on a cruise or you know someone who has or who works on popular cruise liners, they would tell you that the majority of the workforce comes from Philippines and Indonesia. Why? Because the money they will earn there after a few years of working, is enough for them to lead good lives for decades or until they die in some cases back home. That includes building and equipping a house and having enough for their families to be happy.
