I’ve observed an interesting phenomenon when I was living in the Middle East. When you spoke with Non-British expats there, regardless of whether they were Desi, European, American or African 80% of them would say “I’m here in Dubai for a couple of years and then I will go back to xxxx.” (xxxx being their home country) and 20% would say something like “I will stay in Dubai.” or “I might move out of Dubai after a while, but I’m not going back to xxxx but will go to yyyy instead”. With Brits it was the other way around, ie 20 % would say the former and 80% would say the latter.

I always wondered why.

That’s interesting.
