What are the biggest differences between the life / culture of where you live now, and of "home"?
Is there anything you find better, anything worse?
Do you want to return "home" to live?
(Yes - I wanted to ask this in this category because it´s fairly "multi-culti" here, and (most) people here see things a bit differently.)
Update:OOPS - yes, I really meant "EXPATRIATES"!!!!!!
(See what living abroad is doing to me??!! ha ha!)

First off, "ex-patriot" is vastly different from "expatriate". Gauging that you mean the latter, I would have to say that I really miss my personal space where I live now. That, and certain cultural mores which I'm expected to keep up as a woman. This place is sort of stuck in the 1950s in terms of societal standards and attitudes. I could go on for about the length of a novel on this, but that's why I want to move--not necessarily back "home" (I would not ever want to move back to my hometown anyway) but somewhere where I don't feel as constrained. I know moving somewhere else can bring along a whole host of new problems, but in the places where I'm considering moving, I feel as if those are issues that I could handle better than those with which I have to deal now.
yes...i dunno how to explain it, but just think of moving from south africa to australia. it does sometimes remind me a lot of home.
