don't call them expats, they are just immigrant, expats sounds fancy, anyone from south east asian emigrating to western countries being label as immigrant not as an expats

That’s what white people have done for hundreds of years. Is not a new thing at all. Even in Singapore there are expat enclaves that are often vastly one colour..

The sad thing about Singapore is that because English is the de facto language, it's simply too comfortable for foreigners to ease in without making any efforts to integrate.

you know what's the ironic thing part? those expats are probably the same people who expect immigrants in their own country to integrate with their society

I mean the real question is why do people make such an effort to integrate into the US/UK and don’t do that in Singapore/Indonesia. You can tell people they should do XYZ. But behaviors are not changed by ‘should’s but ‘must’s. And unfortunately, Singapore does not have that soft power yet for people to want to integrate into it.

i think the problem with the name "digital nomads" is the fact that its a fancy term for immigrants (similar to "expats"). people treat immigrants and expats differently when theyre both the same

You’re right. Off topic, run clubs are designed purely for socialising. Running, in my opinion, is and should be a solo activity.

Western people have differences attitudes from Asian people , Asian whenever they go abroad for work or living they try to learn the language and the culture, trying to communicate with local
