we have had over 40 replies. some of which were PM'd to me. I will keep this going for a few more days in the hopes I hear from a few more people.

Please don't be shy! Letting other Expats know where you are from and your age helps people feel more comfortable to get in touch with each other.

so end of day 2, the top three nationalities (that have replied) are:

Americans 42%
British 21%
Canadian 15%

with an average age of 39, and an average stay of 2.5 years.

I will post final results end of week. please keep info coming if you haven't so far.

Been here since June 2008.

I second the idea that a poll would be a more efficient and possibly more accurate way to gather data, but this works too. I would also be interested in knowing how people live here, or rather:
a) trying to earn a living working here, b) actually earning a living working here, c) living here while working from home/freelance, or d) not currently earning.

Or something along those lines. Am sure those sorts of questions would most definitely need to be answered anonymously.

Thanks.
