    Still cannot let go of the vestiges of a country that is dying and has seen better days I see. Start educating yourself on what is going on in the world. Get out of the TV lounge, snap out of the zombie state you are in and start figuring out reality from the world stage of things. You don't know, what you don't know!

    You said it as good as I could and I concur with you 100%. I only come back there to see my older family members and that is the good thing. Swift got me there for free.

    If you live in a foreign country, not just visiting, you are an expat. Of course, you must file your income taxes with the IRS and keep up to date with the immigration officials of your chosen country. When you fly back into the USA, you are given more scrutiny than most though, or maybe it's just me!

    The best way to be an expat is to visit the country first and live like a local for 3 weeks. If you like, and are willing to live less than first world, but a bit cheaper with more freedom, then you to can become an expat. Hell the USA is being over run with foreigners. Sometimes I feel like I'm the only white guy at the truck stop and you know what I mean if you are white.

    If you have a pension you are good to go.

    Excuse me? How about you stop assuming every truck driver on this website is an old, uneducated, heavyset fellow thats sits in the TV lounge rooms at truck stops without any contemporary knowledge.

    judgmental prick.

    America is the best country.
    If you don't agree, then you can go truck truck elsewhere.

    Don't offend my country.
     
    dog-c, A21CAV, mosstrap and 2 others Thank this.

    Perhaps you can point to where I said you quit under a load every single time? Fact of the matter is you quit 3 times prior, then you quit under load the 4th time. That's a pretty poor track record in most people's eyes

    Quitting under a load is much different than quitting while not on a load.

    If you had quit after you delivered Swift would likely be taking you back, yet again.
    But since you screwed them over, well, karma comes biting back.

    Try looking in the mirror...
    You project a poor work ethic and a sense of entitlement. Your attitude of superior worldliness fails if you can't figure out how to use technology to access your DAC or make a phone call with a US call back number.

    The term you are looking for is comprehension; I doubt teaching English would pan out.

    How does your attitude of xenophobia play amongst all those non-white orentials?

    I've lived and been employed in 3 different countries. Most recently i spent 5 years in the Philippines actuality living like a local. I was not allowed to work, own property, a gun, and as an expat you cannot own controlling interest in a business. To all those who spend a week or 2 or 3 or 2 months before returning to the first world, remember, your fantasy is not their reality.

    Bingo! It's one thing to visit another country and culture, and something else again to actually LIVE there. I actually spent time in college living with citizens of other nations. My roommate was South Korean, his best friend was Japanese (weird, I know. But offers a bit of hope for the future) and his girlfriend was Okinawan. I had another friend, a Saudi, and he roomed with a Kuwaiti.

    Point is, we frequently spent time hanging out comparing the differences between their cultures and my own. We discussed the differences in freedoms offered American citizens and those offered to citizens of other nations. And after many, many evenings of discussion (sometimes over beer, other times over coffee) I have come to the conclusion that I have ZERO interest in attempting to acclimate to another culture. I do not wish to lose my freedoms nor my rights, I do not wish to be forced to treat others as second class citizens nor be treated as such myself. I enjoy learning about other cultures (armchair historian, after all), but I'll happily keep all that learning as a view from the outside, thanks.

    Is Okinawa a country?

    "his best friend was Japanese (weird, I know. But offers a bit of hope for the future) and his girlfriend was Okinawan."

    So a Japanese has a Japanese girlfriend.
    So what?
