Hi Craig,

Just curious - are you thinking that this area will be relatively untouched by the global slowdown and are thinking of looking for work there?  I've thought and heard similar things, although I am sure they are getting a flood of applications at the moment given the layoffs / hiring freezes occurring.

Myself I haven't been (yet), but have looked online at various recruiting sites over time.  I'd suggest you start with generic Google searches, then talk with recruiters in the area directly and ask for references of Western workers who have worked with them.
