An expatriate (often shortened to expat) is a person temporarily or permanently residing, as an immigrant, in a country other than that of their citizenship. The word comes from the Latin terms ex ("out of") and patria ("country, fatherland").
In common usage, the term is often used in the context of professionals or skilled workers sent abroad by their companies.
In the 19th and early 20th centuries, many Americans, numbering perhaps in the thousands, were drawn to European cultural centers, especially Munich and Paris. The author Henry James, for instance, adopted England as his home, while Ernest Hemingway lived in Paris.
The term "expatriate" in some countries also has a legal context used for tax purposes, meaning someone who does not have tax residence in the country they are living. An expatriate living in a country can receive a favourable tax treatment – they are still subject to taxation, but not in the same way as tax residents. For example, in Japan for the first five years of residency one is a non-permanent resident for tax purposes, and thus subject only to tax on Japan-source income, not worldwide income (such as bank interest or investment gains in one's home country). Rules and the number of years can vary per tax jurisdiction, but 5 years is the most commonly used maximum period.

After becoming a true believer, Laura convinces Barnes, Sampson and a dive shop owner, Keating, to search for the treasure. Together they set off from Key West in the Baker's boat, which Barnes is supposed to be looking after.

Genres: Comedy,In the cracks, in the cracks is where you'll go
I'll find you in the dark with a head full of snow
And downtown with the big dark eyes
You opened up your heart to a big black sky, black sky
You'll be my friend right to the end
Take it down hard over the highs
And just like before you'll come through the door
And take it, and take it, come and take it some more
I never meant to hurt ya
I only wanna love ya
I only want to love you
Only wanna love ya, love ya
I want some cocaine and dirty water
Take it down in the dark tonight
I want some cocaine and dirty water
I'm gonna scream in the dark tonight
I never meant to hurt ya
I only wanna love ya
I only want to love you
Only wanna love ya
I never meant to hurt ya
I only wanna love ya
I only wanna love ya
Only wanna love ya
