Carole,

Although I agree that there are many inept expats, my experience
of their origin is very different from yours. Folks from
cosmopolitain cities have no market on showing others respect (in
the others' own terms). This for me is the heart of what it
takes to be successful in as an international exec.

Cheers

Jay (an expat, originally from the midwest of the USofA, who is
successful on my own and local terms) ;-)
