Past and present expatriates
 
Just curious. How many past and present expatriates visit this board, ie have worked overseas.

Paige Jul 10th, 2001 05:17 AM

If you're talking about expates from the US, that would be me! We've lived in Munich for the past 3 years.

Chris Jul 10th, 2001 05:19 AM

Me too! France for the past year and a half.

Expat wannabe. Live overseas part of each year. Don't exactly "work overseas," but carry my business with me wherever I am.

Marilyn Jul 10th, 2001 05:41 AM

My husband and I lived in Brussels for a year. He worked and I played. We would go back in a heartbeat!

Our family has lived in Munich for almost 4 years as expats. We love it!

Lived with my wife and 2 young daughters in Paris for 2 years. Not always glamorous, but a great experience.

Lived, worked, and was married to an Italian, in Rome, back in the 70's. It was a wonderful experience, but I have never once regretted coming back home (to the U.S.) when I did.

Dick Mac Jul 10th, 2001 09:10 AM

I am a US ex-pat in London.

janis Jul 10th, 2001 09:16 AM

Lived in the UK for 5 years - wish I could again but not possible at the moment. But I get back 1 - 3 times most years.

John H Jul 10th, 2001 09:28 AM

I lived in France for 3-month and 7-month stints during college and graduate school. I have also lived/worked for 4 years in Asia-Pacific (Singapore, New Zealand, Indonesia, Australia) during the late 1980s and early 1990s.

Tim Jul 10th, 2001 09:39 AM

Originally from N. Ireland, now living in the U.S. Love it here, except when it gets so damn hot! <BR> <BR>PB-not to be a snotty grammar police-type person, but "presently" means in the near future, not currently.

Ann Jul 10th, 2001 09:57 AM

British - lived 3 years in Paris, not to mention large parts of childhood in Nigeria and Malawi and Dublin.

Tracy Jul 10th, 2001 10:12 AM
