What do people say about living abroad?
What do people say about living abroad? JAKARTA (JP): Most people are born, grow up and die in the same country, many never even visiting the lands of a foreign culture. But a surprisingly large number of people immigrate to live a significant portion of their lives in a foreign country for one reason or another. These migrants must face the life of being a minority, sometimes vulnerable to discrimination.

Power politics 2003 Chusnul Mar'iyah The years that followed the epochal students, civil society and political victory in 1998 were a lonely time for realists in Indonesia.
