Low Wu Yang's online personal space

Those of you who have known me for long enough will know that I’m a bit of a Europhile. I plan to study there and have dreams of carving out a career and future for myself on the old continent.

Long has the allure of this historical corner of the world mesmerised me. Everything about the old world, from the rich history to its overwhelming diversity captivates me. It remains to this day, the world’s largest economy, and nowhere else have democracy and civil liberties reached the zenith epitomised by Europe.

It thus pains me tremendously to be bombarded in recent times by swathes of economists and policy makers prophesising the demise of Europe. “The entire continent has plunged into an irrecoverable spiral of decline,” they all echo, and not without merit. After all, the entire European sytem is flawed, a monetary union without the will to pursue political integration, without which economic and fiscal policy nessecary to regulate the Euro cannot be enforced.

Has my passion for the European way of life clouded my judgement? I honestly do not know.
