I notice Novita that most people here are very nice, it is the odd few that spoil it, try to rule and are very naive.
You will notice that the people in question have travelled little and have no experience of how different cultures sometimes need to be accounted for in different ways. These so called "expats" wouldn't know what one is if it hit them in the face lol
You can always tell Novita who has this natural talent OR who is in fact an expat by their bahaviour here. It's a pity they cannot behave in a more worldly way on an "expat" site.
Concentrate on the others, who are Novita....99% of them here are.

, do I asked you to read it? Don't like me??? There is a features call 'putting another member on ignore list'. Ups... I forgot... probably you dunno how to do it. Again... I never said that 'YOU HAVE A MENTAL DISTURBANCE'.... especially when you been worked abroad for over 20 years. You must be the most nicest ppl on the forum.

None of these are classified in "my book" as hardship postings, mind you my expat life started out with a 6 month old and a two year old....so any posting would have been a hardship one
