Day 1: What is Expatriate

My co worker asked me yesterday afternoon while she was doing a telephone survey; "What is expat". I was so happy to hear such question, you might be wondering why. Why? It's because, I said to myself "I'm not alone", when I first encountered such word I was bewildered.

Expats or Expatriate, I told her, they are the foreigners working here in the Philippines. I originally confined this definition to high ranking foreigners working here in our Country. I later realized that the word pertains to any foreigners irregardless of position they are holding, they might even be here for training. Expats are usually assigned here in the Philippines from their Mother Company; from what I noticed there are plenty of them in an Economic Zones wherein there are Manufacturing firms. As I browsed Merriam Webster now, the adjective definition of Expatriate is living in a foreign land. This would also mean that those who are here for schooling are also expat.

I really love my day one for my goal Learning at 30.
