Do you know many foreigners that lived there? What did they do for jobs?
I did know a few in a working age/position.They were either
-Erasmus kind of studying abroad year young europeans
-Sabatical year young europeans/aussies
These two would often be at entry level positions in teaching english or customer service,often with little to no ability other than being able to speak english and/or another foreign language plus being exotic genitals (specially the women of course)
-Middle aged Northern europeans/americans:
These guys would normally be down in Bs As because they hooked up with an argie woman and were either waiting for the paperwork to happen so they could move on back to their own countries and/or try their hand at the local life.
Most often than not they would free lance or bring their work from abroad (journalists,researchers,coders.etc) so their income would land them in a comfortable position when converted to the local currency.
When these guys were working in a company environment they would go for a more qualified position (a good example: Dane guy in a financial research company I worked in was handling all the data in scandinavian languages)
Sometimes an older middle aged fellow would be brought in to an executive position,in which cases they pretty much were dandying around barely inter acting with the local populace in any meaningful way until he was switched to the next position in the next country.
