Expat salary

The salary, the tag that one is an expat are all alluring and these expats are envied back home as some people having a good life.

They might think that life as expat is all about the lazing around the swiming pool in Oakwood! We do that, but sometimes and always with hundreds of things cluttering our brains.

Life as an expat is not easy. Since money is given, one is loaded with work and even on saturdays I fine myself in office.

You arent mostly welcome by the local collegues. They think that one has suddenly come at a high salary and not earning it well enough. So they arent friendly towards me and alsways trying to find fault.

They fact that one of they them could be given my job but was not given never occurs to them. They never wonder why is that the company had to get someone from abroad. They also dont realise that comeing from aanother country to work in their eenvironment takes lot of adjustment and effort and a friendly atomosphere helps.

I love the change as it energises us to comeout of the comfort zone and gives us a chance to surprise ourselve with the innate ability we have hidden to our self.

Im in love with the Flea market that happens every saturday in the park in Salcedo Village. I just love the smell of fresh vegable and that of the plople from many corners of the globe.

Shenna has fallen in love with Starbucks and Im quite amused by this fact that our four year old Shenna loves to chill with a milkshake (he calls it coffee!) in the starbucks, be it in Greenbelt or Salcedo village.

Dona is manageing the show on home front as I hardly get time foor anything at home and all I think nowadays is work.

She wants to go to Hongkong, dont know if it will happen. Or we will try to somewhere nearby.
