global firms than any other city
in the country, and is a primary
gateway to the Asia-Pacific
economies, offering excellent
opportunities for you to gain

The city’s warm and sunny climate
is perfect for a healthy outdoor
lifestyle. January and December

and cycling around the many walking
tracks and cycleways, or join a
