CW Demographics - are you an expat?

So are you like me from one country originally, but live in another?

Not now, but from 01-05 I was in Shanghai on account of my dad's work. Also spent 08 in China but that was as a student, not an expat.

No, first generation immigrant of Chinese parents from Taiwan and Burma. However, I may become an expat in the near future, if my master plan to escape Outer South-West Sydney is to succeed. Mwahahaha.

Former Brit, current Septic with stops in South Africa (where I picked up 2 kids) and Bulgaria.

EDIT- If asked (an I am frequently), I make it clear that despite the accent I am American and not British

Indian. My forefathers come from the state of Rajasthan but we moved to Bengal a few generations ago. We also have business in Uttar Pradesh and had previously in Orissa. India is a lot of different countries within one country.
