Oh dear we are getting touchy.
I said I was glad to hear you were happy where you are.
Nothing "degrading" about me being happy I am not there anymore.
PS
Expat packages used to include free accommodation and utilities but as T & C's go down they are becoming more rare. My first two expat positions did just that with 8 weeks leave as well.This mean't one could keep one's own home if required or to let out as personal circumstances dictate.
Still as you only get 4 weeks leave pa in Cargo and ID 90's not available for you I guess there is no point in keeping a home base available.
