Hi :)

To clarify, and as per my opening request, it isn't that we aren't speaking to people who aren't Western expats (please believe me, that is not the case!), it is simply that it the research is being done in different phases by different teams of people, and my colleague and I, as Westerners ourselves, have been brought in specifically to speak to Western expats.

I would like, again, to reiterate that we are not being exclusionary in our research! 

Hope this answers your question

Regards
