Learning a foreign language gives you a tremendous sense of accomplishment as well as opens the door to a completely new culture and practically a new world for you. The sense of accomplishment is just the beginning of the flood of benefits you can reap by learning to speak a language other than your native language.

Most Filipino maids in Hong Kong would prefer Western employers over Chinese employers. Whenever they inquire from our employment agency for job opportunities, they are more likely to ask, “Do you have Western employers available?”

As an employment agency catering to both local and international market, we often receive inquiries from Western employers who are in need of domestic help from time to time as a result of our internet marketing using Google Adwords campaign.

Out of my curiousity, I often ask why filipino domestic helpers in Hong Kong prefer to work with Western employers rather than Chinese employers. It is interesting to note that the former tends to be more understanding and are willing to pay higher than the minimum salary set by the Hong Kong government.

A study has been conducted by Chinese University of Hong Kong on how maids in Hong Kong are treated by their employers. Comparisons between Western and Chinese employers on their treatment of Filipina helpers are done in consideration of four major areas namely atmosphere of work environment, consideration, socio-psychological distance and personal space.

In-depth study was made and structured interviews of filipino domestic helpers who have served both types of employers were carried out. A few Western and Chinese employers were also interviewed.

The results of the study indicate that the Filipino maids, in general, are more satisfied with their Western employers, who tend to provide them with easier and more comfortable work environment, over their Chinese employers. Their Western employers are also more considerate and are more likely to treat them equally, allowing them more personal space.

It doesn’t matter whether you are a strict Christian and so don’t want to mess up on the Internet with online dating. Many Christians have met and developed serious relationship thanks to Christian online dating. Christian online dating is a fun way to meet someone who has the same Christian faith as you do. Christian online dating websites are normally regarded as safe, so you don’t have to fret too much about security. But of course, it’s advisable to always take your time and do your own due diligence before you commit yourself to an online dating relationship.

It will be wise for you to keep different email accounts when dating online so that you can stop mailing any online date you don’t feel comfortable with. Don’t feel free to hand your main email address to any online date as that may backfire if the relationship doesn’t work out.

Do you realize the amount of money that a conventional date cost? You’ll have to count the cost of the dress for dinner, the cost of the manicure and pedicure, the cost of the dinner itself and the cost of gas. When you compare the cost of online dating to conventional dating, you’ll see that online dating is more of a cost effective venture, at least until you get to know the person better and are then ready for a real physical date.
