Information About

"This book is a compilation of real-life stories by expats from different parts of the world. The original voices of the writers are kept intact by retaining their writing style and the type of English they use. So don't be alarmed if you find a mix of British and American English - this is not a mistake! Last but not least, Great Expatations is made possible because of the generosity of sincere and fun-loving contributors, who did not hesitate to take time out of their busy schedules to share the good and bad of living in Singapore"--P. [5]
