I was under the impression that the Aussies rivaled the Americans as far as Expats go.
And just to be clear, I was referring to the “I didn’t leave me country, my country left me” comment that we both made minutes apart to the same poster.
Anyways, always good to hear from you and I hope you and yours are doing well and I hope that we can meet some day.

I remember only one Aussie from when I arrived here, but I think he died...I do not remember.
Most seem to be from the northern countries of Europe.
I have a Swedish friend, married to a local girl, but he could not tolerate the way people live here.
They first went to Langkawi in Malaysia, where he got burned out with the Muzies, They then headed off to Canary Islands, where they seem to be happy.
One interesting note. Since Spain once ruled the Philippines, the guy’s Philippine wife becomes an automatic citizen of Spain.
I have helped a number of guys from various countries to move to my town.
The first was a British lad. I had him a cottage over the beach, and a girlfriend on his first day here. He is only in his 30s, but has a small British army disability pension as a result of diabetes. It is just barely enough for the two of them.
There is also a retired Belgian guy that I brought here, as well as a few others from the US.
