"a bit more optimism among the young people of this country would not harm."

Simone Galimberti on Nepal in "Let's be a bit more optimistic: Maybe things are not as bad as they seem."

That is probably true for most countries.

Simone refers to "Lower middle-class kids are pulled by what I called the "Down Under Syndrome", the attraction that #Australia is having on so many young people of this nation. Testimony to this, we had over a dozen of national football players, all good, migrating there. Technically and legally speaking, "migrating" is the wrong word, but it is a default understanding that all those who go to Australia to study, mostly in second- and third-class higher learning institutions, are going there to stay."

More optimism among the young people of Australia would be good. The Nepalese migrants and students lift Australia's average optimism.
