I don't want to get jumped on here but, could someone explain this whole "expat" thing to me. It comes up in almost every thread and I'd like to understand it a bit more.
Thanks

There is another in Santiago, came here in '62, married into some of the landed gentry, went into education and he and his wife have been teaching for 40 years...They are much more Dominicanized than trying to maintain an 'expat' lifestyle.
To me expat seems to insinuate "foreigner" or "outsider". It may be that because of my looks and accent that Dominicans consider me as such, but I consider myself a future Dominican citizen at some point. I still won't ever eat mondongo or boiled plaintain every night of the week, been there done that.
please dont start that gringo thing again.
