The thing with expats is they often goes out of their way to avoid the local population and its culture. They either live in condos with other expats or in villas far away from the locals, they only visits expat-run business and spaces, and the only locals they know are sycophants with inferiority complex or exploited women.
The ones who truly interacts with the locals and "goes native" (read: not be a racist shit) are the exception in my experience.
As someone once said, the diffrence between imigrant and expat is, expat have white skin color lol. White people don't like negative connotation of word "immigrant" so they invented new word.
