But..but...but...it's the expats absolute right to moan about something, it's what makes them happy. Disregard the sun, the cheap bars and restaurants, forget about the lovely, friendly people, it's all about finding something to complain about that keeps the average expat going until the next birthday. I mean, just today at Zenia Boulevard it was so busy I had to go round 3 times until I found a free parking space. I don't care if it's free, the fact there wasn't a designated area for me just made me boil.

(Actually, to be quite serious, it was extremely hot and we were sat in the shade having lunch. One of the great, stereotypical expats on the table next to me was complaining (quite loudly) that his Winter Fuel Allowance had been stopped. Now that's what makes a real expat).
