“Loco Expat” no they haven’t gone crazy they tell you. They just love living where they are and will do so at any cost. They have given up their original package, which included housing, medical, schooling, club membership, car etc for a local salary.
Now a local salary is usually high for someone in his or her field. It needs to be because they are now going to have to pay for all those things the package usually included. However, usually those that go local down size their accommodation, give up their club membership and use the local health care system for their ailments. It’s not a bad deal you just have to love living in your new home more than your old one.
Some Loco’s have acquired a taste for the local faire i.e. woman/man and as such there really is no turning back, unless they decide they are going to bring back said ‘faire’ or should that be afair to their original point of sale.
