Proponents of globalisation will tell you the world is getting smaller and shrinking into a global village where everybody is each other’s neighbour.

In some sense this is true. It’s true in a sense that we are no longer confined to our localities in search of a living. We are now globe-trotting, working thousands of miles away from homeland or headquarters.

We might spend some years in Singapore, then move on to Beijing to take up new position, then several years later, taking up another position in some European city.

But the world remain vast as it is, and making a move from one country to another, will therefore require huge logistical undertaking and careful planning.

And if you think moving overseas entails only the movement of people and their belongings, you might have underestimated the significance of such move.

Needless to say there are many other issues needed to be considered in moving overseas such as insurance, real estate and apartment hunting, just to name a few.
