Expats in Heartland Jobs

Hello everyone. I'm a reporter and I'm hoping to profile an expat in an interesting job, especially with a local, heartland twist just like Mr Laskaris
http://www.straitstimes.com/lifestyle/f ... ian-seller.
Do you know of anyone in such a job? We have written about a South African driving a bus.
Would you know of anyone who runs a hawker stall selling Singaporean fare? Or someone who sells vegetables at the wet market? A librarian working in a heartland neighbourhood? A train driver?
Could you message me or write a comment here?
Thank you so much!

Totally agreed.
I seen lot of expats around my house, Doing general maintenance work !
Or did OP mean "rich" Expats ?
Or did he mean a exotic expat ?
Or an exotic import - i.e. Citizen ?
Confusion abounds.

Do the PRC Expat bus drivers don't count ?

Oh the irony.
Did you miss the sarcasm ?
I meant, in your book, Expat means only those Fair Skinned, or Exotic ?
Do South Asian Workers count ?
