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...
"From what I've observed is either you're working very hard to make ends meet, or you're with the university as either a student or facilty member, again working very hard. The younger set does play a lot, especially on weekend nights. In fact, they almost take over the streets till about 2am," remarked another expat in Cambridge, UK.
"More and more life revolves around work, I would say. And as more people are out at work all day there is less interaction with neighbours," said a member in Leeds, UK.
