......deciding what's best for your family is foolish? I wish you could actually hear what you have written. You brought them here and then can write something like that?sprite wrote:Why?sundaymorningstaple wrote:anybody else foolish to insist on eating western while in an asian country.

Why can't you just eat what you want? Why is deciding what's best for your family 'foolish'?
Sundaymorningstaple, not all expats are like you. Not everyone decided to live here and immerse themselves completely in the local culture. If you were a career expat, moving every few years, that would be exhausting and a waste of time. What if you are here for two years and you just want some Tim Tams because you're homesick?
Groceries can be very expensive here, which is why long-term residents/expatriates ween themselves off western items if they stay longer. Any good HR person can tell you the formula used to figure this out.
