What is life like as an expat in your area?
When we asked people living abroad what life is like in their areas and how people spend their time, they said...
"Macau has been a portuguese colony for a long long time, and althougth most expats are here for their work or studies, there is a joie de vivre in Macau, very similar to the south european one, and which you cannot find in Hong Kong or in Mainland China. Consequently, people here do all sorts of activities after work, and many events are always scheduled every week (you can check www.MacauZhuhai.com for a listing of the events or even the Macau offcial tourism site) The Coloane island is a great place for people to do all kind of sports (biking, jogging beach volley, football) The beaches are great for BBQ at weekends... People here are very sociable and the atmosphere is that one of a village..," remarked another expat in Macao, China.
"Living in Macao as an expat or digital nomad can be an exciting and rewarding experience. The city is a vibrant mix of Chinese and Portuguese cultures, offering a unique blend of East and West. Expats and digital nomads can enjoy a wide range of activities, from exploring the city's many attractions to sampling the delicious local cuisine. The cost of living is relatively low, making it an attractive destination for those looking to stretch their budget. The city is also well-connected, with excellent public transportation and easy access to the rest of China and beyond. With its diverse culture, low cost of living, and excellent connectivity, Macao is an ideal destination for expats and digital nomads," said a member in Macao, China.
