Want the best expat experience? Head for Asia | beyondbrics

Want the best expat experience? Head for Asia | beyondbrics:

"Beyondbrics is sometimes a little sceptical of surveys, but here’s one that caught our eye. Where is the best place to be an expat? A comfortable European capital perhaps?

Apparently not. Forget any worries of smog, monsoons or congestion: Thailand tops HSBC’s Expat Experience league table, with China close behind. Even India is in the top 10. What’s going on?

Apparently, the survey of 7,000 expats worldwide revealed that expats across Asia were more likely to enjoy a better social life, with 35 per cent of expats based in the region saying they have a more active social life since relocating, compared with the global average of only 26 per cent.

Leave your preconceptions at home, it would seem. China’s smog and India’s reputation for requiring tough stomachs seem to not have made a dent in the apparent good time had by expats."
