I'd say the Albany Hwy strip thru Vic Park resembles Lygon St but the rest of the suburb is very different. Kardinya/Murdoch/Bull Creek across to Thornlie/Cannington is suburban asia

You mean Lee Ming and Chinthrop? ;) Definitely! I read somewhere that Murdoch Uni had 80% of its students from China a few years ago. Not sure if it's changed.

I don't think I've ever had the pleasure of frequenting the Armadale train line, at least not for more than a couple of stops anyway.

Not true, but Chinese do make up the majority of international students in universities in WA, definitely.

The percentages of Asian-born people living in the Murdoch to Cannington ara is definitely high but I wouldn't call it suburban Asia, it's still fairly low-ish at about 15-20%, tops.

Source: did research on this in uni.

Just checked on Wiki- about 3000 of 18500 students are international. I'm positive that it used to be higher but definitely cannot prove the 80% I mentioned above.

Perhaps it was 80% of the INTERNATIONAL students were Chinese? That sounds a lot better.

great selling point to asian investers and migrants. leeming was established by two asian brothers
lol

Speaking of Asian investors- I understand that they steer clear of buying houses with #4 (unlucky) in their number. And several houses have been renumbered because of this- sort of like #13 with Caucasians.
