What is life like as an expat in your area?
When we asked people living abroad what life is like in their areas and how people spend their time, they said...
"The local's lives revolve around work, getting to work and family affairs, photography and facebook but beyond that I can't comment. Expat lives revolve around work and family too of course but the family bit comes and goes. Many seem to let the nanny's take over and participate in a lot of Golf or women's organizations, and football/rugby. For us we travel, throw house parties, and participate in school activities," wrote a member who made the move to Jakarta, Indonesia.
