    Best and worst expat spot

    Internations has published their list of best and worst countries for expats. Ecuador came first. Since they consider factors like friendliness of locals, HK don't rank in the best 10.

    So what do think of their rankings: https://www.expatriatehealthcare.com...ries-revealed/

    I would take anything from internations seriously. In fact I wouldnt even rate them as an expat site, just a site for expats to meet loads and loads of local people.

    Internations
    A hooking up event packaged as a networking event.

    They seem to spend a ton of money on social media advertising. Seen them a zillion times, never been tempted to click.

    I am STILL trying to deregister as a member. I first went a few years ago upon the invite of an acquaintance. Non event. It is basically a pick up joint under the guise of an " expat networking" event. Crap drinks, no food when it is advertised as having food supplied at the event. I gave up after three of them. Bored witless. You find better company for free on meet.com.hk.

    If this is the survey I looked at before, I was surprised how low Italy was. What is wrong with being an expat there?

    Maybe it's one of the few countries where an expat cannot stand out for being arrogant
