I'm also tire of hearing expats complaining about expats who complaints....

I guess we aren't that different after all & are as much guilty as those we accused

I have met some ex-expats for who that is certainly the case, partly down to having a bit too much of a romantic soul as well, searching for paradise and than disappointments hit them hard.

If I complain it is just a cultural thing , ppl from Amsterdam are renowned for it

maybe you can learn something from her. When I am no longer happy with the way things are here, time to pack up !

Back to the topic:
Yes, it is tiring to hear Foreigners complain about the culture and the environment.

You're in our country so learn to respect and understand everything about it. If you think it's not for you, you always have a choice to go back to your own or go someplace else.
go Girl, rightly said... guess they have nothing better to do. They should be out volunteering or doing something for all the benefits they get here, otherwise they wont be coming here or staying permanently here, right?
If its bad here, why dont they go someplace else, as you said?.... no one's holding them here... they should make themselves useful...
