What is life like as an expat in your area?

"I belong to the marries group and really don't know any single people here so I can't judge. The married lot socialise with each other, dinner's parties, trips to the mountains and places of interest. There always seems plenty going on.

So they tend to want quiet weekends," wrote a member who made the move to Almaty, Kazakhstan.
