In 2006, statistics revealed a surge in Dubai's population from 1.130 million to 1.422 million. This feat took barely a year to achieve- notwithstanding the number of tourists who visited the country.
In 2007, there was a total population of 4.48 million people noted in Dubai with expatriates numbering a whopping 3.62 million.
The numbers speak volumes for the expatriate population curr

One of the things that I indulge in is buying Tactical Assault Gear and even though I now live overseas, I can still manage to buy the products that I want via online.
I use these products when I go hiking or while camping in the mountains as I find their products very durable and [...]
Famous worldwide for its mild climate, thermal springs and colonial era architecture, San Miguel de Allende has attracted a large community of foreign residents.

The Writer just wrote about spoiled expatriates, "those who come from developed country and get a job in developing country and live like a king/queen". With salary which is unbelievably higher than a local standard - mostly due to ridiculous exchange rates and tax regulations - and lots of allowances, they soon embrace a lavish lifestyle with maids, gardeners, security guards, and so on. I couldn't deny that many expats are living like that. Being expats means they have to sacrifice many things: their life back home, their friends and family, their comfortable surrounding, to go to a foreign place thousands miles away from home with different customs, food, culture, temperature, and work attitudes. Many of them are reluctant to be posted overseas, especially if they have children to thin
Indonesian Expatriates Forum (IEF), created in January 2008, has been doing very good. Bugilsnews puts IEF's widget which shows the list of articles we have published on their website (they also put a link to my personal blog there - big thanks to Bart and the team - perhaps because I constantly promote Bugil's, Cazbar and EP!), and with their perpetually growing number of readers and loyal fans, having IEF's link on their site will certainly boost IEF's popularity! Several bloggers also have IEF link on their blogs, like Jakartass (the most popular English blog according to Indonesia Matters), and my blogbuddies like Rima and Therry.IEF also has gathered almost 50 blogs of Indonesian expats and returned expats around the world. (I will elaborate the term 'returned expat' later in a differ
I'm starting to get some more detailed ideas about the Indonesian Expatriates Forum that I initiated a week a go. Please take a look, and if you have any suggestion, don't hesitate to let me know, whether through this blog or to my email (finallywoken.blog@gmail.com).As an amateur in the virtual world, I dream big, so big that some of my friends think that it's impossible to do. A single person, initiates a forum to connect all Indonesians around the world? Am I mental?But actually my idea and dream is very simple, and it only takes a willingness to get there. There is no money involved, there is no deadline or time line that I have to obey, there is no failure possibility, there is no feasible risk at stake, so why can't we do it? Look at Expatwomen website, it is initiated by two women.

(Archived in: Expatriates Related Miscellany)by Gabriel J. AdamsAn Expatriate is an individual who resides in a country that they were not raised in or did not obtain their citizenship from. However, the term does not apply to government officials who are employed or stationed in a foreign country. Expatriates are often confused with Immigrants. The main different is that Expatriates see the move as temporary with every intention of returning to their native country while Immigrants are committed to the place they move to.One famous group of Expatriates called the Lost Generation refers to a group of individuals from America who resided in Paris, France from World War I through the Great Depression. This group of Expatriates included many great writers of American literature including Earnest Hemingway and F. Scott Fitzgerald.In the United Kingdom, Expatriates are not treated well upon returning to their country. This is because it is viewed as a betrayal of their culture and Nation. O
