I find a vintage tank top gives the arms freedom of movement as the T-shirt binds across the chest for a real forehand shot.

I prefer white, shows up the previous nights kebab much better.

I'm an ex secret agent who's lived a life of mystery and high adventure. Now that I have retired behind my high tech security screened secret lair walls I spend most of my days laminating, gardening, and working on my next fake passport so I can continue to jet about the world with my ex-spy cloak of anonymity intact.

That's an American; no one else is rude enough to wear hats indoors.  He's a bit thin too, otherwise, that's me.  Except for the T-Shirt, there should be a too-fat-to-wear-a-T-Shirt limit, and I'm well over that.

Yep, that's me - just want some damn peace and quiet.

Ditto. Came to research a paper and married my dear assistant. Took some convincing.

I love not getting cold, and being bankrupted by Medi(don't)care.

Trilogy.

I'm the type that just wants to give the girls money to take care of their parents and brothers and sick buffalo. Is that so wrong? : )

Of all the categories listed, I guess I best fit the "adventurer" category.  Although I could also be in the "I don't give a f*** what you think" category if that one ever gets listed.

Expanding the options would be a great help.

I have developed a few habits over the years.

G'day  mate.

Remembering the good old days, born of romantic literature and lore, when foreigners weren't placed with - nor were required to conform to - this expatriate tag and all the convoluted stereotypes that might be associated. 

 

This contemporary class has drawn pathetic.

Human nature.

With 20,000 posts, I must be the interneter

Actually, I've been all of them

I consider myself a "True Expat" by definition. -  Love my country, just don't want to live in it!!   Have lived and worked in 37 countries and can get myself in trouble in 5 languages including English.

 

There a Beach out there I haven''t walked on yet.       Peace

The term expatriate and the associate character usually leaves me empty, as there certainly isn't anything special that draws from the fraternity - just the opposite is conjured up. 

 

Wouldn't be the company that I seek out.....

you be the judge of  what category

By 'the good old days' do you mean 'when the natives knew their place'?

I think I have been all of them, except "not-an-expat expat"

I am clearly a quality expat. Only interested in Thai culture, traditional Isan music, Wats and Thai architecture. I swear!

Memsaab?

OK up to you.

Autocorrect. If you can't imagine yourself in the heat wearing a pith helmet and pretending you're slashing through the jungle with your rapier to take from the mundane reality there's something wrong with the world.

 

EDIT: Actually I really am slashing through jungle
