Expats. Introduction

in #life7 years ago (edited)


Maybe you have noticed them. Usually the idle four, every morning sitting behind the window of a cafe, enjoying coffee and conversation.

From time to time one of them would slam down his newspaper next to his cappuccino loudly sharing his opinion on some piece of news. The others would listen, then make sarcastic comments and.. immerse themselves back into their virtual world via tablets, phones, laptops. Luckily the introduction of WI FI coffee shops converts everywhere into a virtual office.

Let's take another glance. I know you might have already been annoyed with them, taking the best seats in da house with a prime street view. Just be patient, they are only here for a few hours before heading off for lunch somewhere. Patience is a good quality. Try it.

So who are they? One of them is Australian. Typically loud and self-confident. But on the whole a very good
guy. Because Australia is first according to the sun rise we mentioned him first even he's the youngest. Somewhat flexible 20-45 years old. Nobody knows.

Of course the two others should be Europeans. Er wait..Maybe after Brexit they can't be called Europeans anymore as they are English. Let's say for a comedy value one of them is pro-Brexit, the other pro-European.

And last but not least..There should be one local in the group. Let's say the events take place in one of the East European countries. A local friend is definitely required. Someone to help understand the locals, habits and language of course. You know how hard it is for English speakers to learn foreign languages. The fact that everyone speak English around the world really doesn't help their plight.
