    Newcomer Change in expat attitudes?

    I don't find the steak arguments on either side very compelling. At least for me the cost of steaks restaurants isn't a major component in my cost of living. As far as day trips go there are a few things to see near B.A., but let's face it for hundreds of kilometers the landscape is about as...
