What is it like in your country of residence for someone with your relationship status (married/divorced/dating)? If you're single, how do you meet other people? Do English-speaking people tend to gravitate to certain parts of your city?

There are a number of "Ladies Nights" at local watering holes. These can be good places for meeting others. I am not into that scene, any more. I prefer to find someone by meeting him, first. I have also used dating sites to find someone.

Do your homework. Get on a message board where you can read about other's esperiences

If you do not have children, do you generally spend your social time with other expat couples? If not, what else do you like to do as a couple?

No children, here. There are plenty of opportunities for children. Lovely beaches, lots of playgrounds, huge family parks. Children can join soccer, basketball and tennis groups. There are clubs for children's sports.

What would be the best advice you could give someone with your relationship status that lives in your country of residence? Any other thoughts?

Be open to meeting people from all over the world. Get out as much as you can.
