UnXpected Expat

A rare breed is the “Unexpected Expat“. They are the type that lands in a city for other reasons than staying.  They are the guy or gal that fall in love with the place vs falling in love with another human being.  Their intent is usually to travel and move on but sometimes the unexpected expat stays and stays and stays..  I love the story of the hippie that came to Hong Kong many years ago and now heads up a Bank!  I’m sure other Asian cities have these types of expats.  The one that sees the need for the Bar near the beach in a isolated location.  Yeh, unexpected expats are great people they have some of the best stories becaues they have gone through a lot to make it all happen.   They don’t have the companies to make the adjustments for them, find the housing, it’s all there.  HR is there to help but not these guys.
