What is life like as an expat in your area?
When we asked people living abroad what life is like in their areas and how people spend their time, they said...
"People seem to have a good work/life balance. Generally working hours are 35 - 40 per week; and people will go out during the week if they don't have kids. Sport is pretty big in Scotland. There are 2 football (soccer) teams in Edinburgh plus two 'major league' teams in Glasgow to follow. The scotland rugby team plays at Murrayfield in Edinburgh. Church and religion are less popular than in the US. But the Scots are so polite, no one would ever ask you your religion anyway," mentioned another expat when asked about moving to Edinburgh, Scotland.
