Where they're from. 2. How long they've been there (been expats). 3. How often they get to go back. (whether they call it home or not) After a bit more chit-chat, you'll likely also find out: 4. What they do for income. 5. Kids, family (so, ...married a local or spouse also expat?) After much more socializing, you'll also get: 6. Strong feeling whether they enjoy it here. 7. How soon they're moving on, either back home or somewhere else. -Jeff From my personal experience, here’s a couple things I note:
