Hence a healthy ex-pat community of those who see there can be other options out there. I was just talking yesterday after school with one of the chaperones on the student foreign trip I mentioned previously - sharing my info on other places to live. We could end up as neighbors in a few years! Meanwhile we buck the “American” trend and enjoy our Type B (or B+) lifestyle here while we arrange finances and take care of parent health needs while letting others run in the rat race. If they enjoy it or need money that badly, let them run. If they don’t enjoy/need it, hopefully they have other options if they look around.
