I agree. Shouldn't living abroad be an experience, not a mini version of home? I choose to live here, not just because it's tax free but because I like the way society works, I like to feel safe, my property is safe etc. The other side to that is to respect their customs and religion. For goodness sake, the allowances made for expats here, the QDC, Garveys etc, it's not as if they ask much in return. I hope they know that it is only a limited number of expats who couldn't live here without them.
