Sounds crazy to me, but who knows? Might be true. <br />Expats from the third world countries is a very different matter. You are thinking people from back home who had to be better educated, etc to manage to get out of the country and manage to get a job abroad, in a more developed place.

And they are still, to me, interesting people. But, many years later, whenever i visited baku, i was shocked at the level of expats there these days. Maybe it started attracting a different kind of crowd. And of course, i have changed, too.scaryazerihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08209595384194222929noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2545713293332836232.post-65160674737371182582012-06-30T21:53:07.386-07:002012-06-30T21:53:07.386-07:00Well, I have a lot of experience in being an expat...Well, I have a lot of experience in being an expat in lots of places and knowing expats from lots of places, and what you say is very true, sadly: Lots of boring people among the expats, and some crazy ones. Of course it's a bit of a subjective judgment, but I know what you mean.
