Consumer Executive Expatriate Life Survey Sponsored by Marriott Executive Apartments Research
June 2008
Background, Objectives, & Methodology
The MEA brand team asked GfK Custom Research North America to conduct research with 123 current guests and 68 recently departed past guests (within the last three months). The purpose of the research is to develop a picture of the guests who use the MEA properties, their stay at the hotel, and their experiences living and working outside their home for an extended period of time.
From April 9th to May 12th, 191 interviews were conducted with an online survey.
This report contains excerpts from the Executive Expatriate Life Survey, MEA Brand Assessment report by GfK Custom Research North America.
Marriott Executive Apartments is one of Marriott International’s extended stay brands. MEA properties upscale serviced apartments with hotel amenities, located in 16 cities around the world, all outside the United States. The MEA properties are designed for executive “expatriate” travelers who will be away from home for a month or more.

Executive Summary (continued)
In general, guests consider language to be the biggest challenge of any long term assignment.
Nearly two of five guests learn or study the local language.Many respondents said that MEA staff helped them with local language and with tips on how to get around the city.
Other challenges of the long-term stay involved work challenges not related to lodging, limited time to explore the new country, staying connected to friends and family and adjusting to cultural differences.
Executive expats find a variety of ways to alleviate these challenges, many of which are facilitated by staying in an apartment-style lodging with hotel services:
Fixing foods that they like in their own kitchensMeeting local peopleSocializing with other executive expatsUsing video conferencing to stay connectedLearning a foreign language

Language is the biggest challenge facing guests when on long-term assignment (37% try to learn the language in order to cope). The next biggest challenge is work.Connecting with others doesn’t appear to be considered a problem, most likely because guests have a support system at MEAs through the staff and meeting other expats.

Q25
Cultural Differences: Transportation, Work Etiquette, Logistics
♦ Experience using public transportation; how drivers drive in Shanghai.♦ Cultural differences and standards both in business and daily life.♦ Work environment and each country's work etiquette.♦ The difference is in daily life. Walking to the small grocery markets buying only what you can carry so shopping for groceries is a
daily job. Riding bicycles, walking, or taxis as transportation and not being able to drive. Things are not as convenient as what we are used to in our home country so it feels like a whole new lifestyle. An experience we will miss when we leave.
♦ The challenges that I tell my family about are my attempts to speak the language, traffic.... I also tell them about the great experiences walking or bicycling in and around Beijing.
♦ Getting used to the people at work was a challenge at the beginning, not anymore. I had to understand that things work quite different over here.
Food and Socializing: Differences vs. Home, Finding Familiar Items, Understanding Food Purchased
♦ Dining at restaurants and not getting anything close to what you thought you ordered.♦ Differences in food and cultural dining experiences.♦ Food, especially in China. ♦ Finding foods at reasonable costs that you are used to obtaining in the US. ♦ …many English speaking “expats” living in our complex have helped to make adjustments easier.
Language Barriers
♦ The language issues of working in a country where both the spoken and written language is so different to English.♦ It is very important to learn the local language before the assignment.♦ I tell them about the language barrier, that I need to have everything written in Chinese to show taxi drivers, most shops etc.♦ Survival without speaking local language.

Advice To An Executive Expatriate Considering a Long-Term Assignment Overseas
Learn the Language
♦ Learn the language as soon as possible.♦ Take language lessons. Go to breakfast and meet other long-term guests at the Marriott - for both social and business
reasons.♦ Get a Vonage phone to stay in touch with your family, web cam if you have small children or grand children to see them
grow, Sling Box to watch American TV/news, explore the local streets, learn the language or at least attempt survival Chinese. Get a place where the expats gather for breakfast as it is helpful as a support system.
Learn the Basics of Language
♦ The Chinese are wonderful at assisting you in all regards and many times finding a colleague that can speak/understand English. However, learning a little Chinese is so beneficial as the majority do not know any English. Before I left for China, I purchased a book at Barnes and Noble entitled CHINESE in 10 minutes a day. This was a great start and the stickers/flash cards and other activities continue to help. I have also taken Survival Level 1 of a program called New Concept Mandarin. I had a private tutor for 3 hours a day for 11 days. Other friends have also taken this course in a small group setting and we are very pleased with our progress compared to others that have been tutored privately for over a year! We plan to take Levels 2 and 3 over the next few months. There is also an Immersion Guides publication called Mandarin Phrasebook which offers a very good introduction, covers a variety of topics, and has a small English/Chinese dictionary in the back. There are online activities which assist as well. The key is the desire to learn, repetition several times a week, preferably daily, using what you know in everyday situations, and patience!!
Focus on Location of Residence
♦ Stay with international brand to ensure high standard and safety.♦ …close to your work place… .♦ Better to choose to reside not too far from your office location to avoid bad traffic in the city.
Q26, Follow-up Interviews
Follow-up interviews were conducted with respondents who agreed to be re-contacted by their method of choice, email and/or telephone, at a later date so they could share an in-depth look at some of their experiences.

Advice To An Executive Expatriate Considering a Long-Term Assignment Overseas (continued)
Get to Know Area
♦ Get to know the staff. Introduce yourself.♦ 1. Find a personal driver who speaks English. 2. Find an apartment/house which is not too far from his office.
Keep in Touch With Family, Connecting
♦ Keeping In Touch W/Family, Friends and Other Travelers.♦ 1) Spend a lot of effort establishing social contacts early on in your assignment. 2) Make a list of the places you want to
see/things you want to do, often I've seen people leave an assignment after a year and they never did a lot of things that they wanted to. 3) Learn enough of the local language to get you home in a taxi. Bring maps/taxi cards with you at all times. 4) Bring a VOIP system such as Skype or Vonage… .
Connect with Other Expats
♦ Tour around the city and walk around to get comfortable. Talk to other expats to learn from their experience.♦ Find other expats and join in the local community♦ Get to know the other expats!♦ Talk to other expats or work colleagues to get as much information as possible from their experiences.
Practical Advice
♦ …Scan all your important documents before you leave for the assignment and keep them on your computer. You will often need to reference things such as lease agreements, mortgage papers, etc. and most people don't move with their file cabinet. …Bring a dozen passport photos with you, you end up using them quite a lot.

Stay in MEA for Social Community
♦ We actually joke about the MEA being a dorm as we have become close friends even in the short time that I have been here. Several have lived here over a year and others have arrived in the last 12 months. We eat breakfast together daily... husbands earlier as they go to work. We plan outings, exercise, shop, carpool, golf, and eat dinner together several times a week. We have had barbeques, Bunko nights, and Chicken Foot (dominoes) games in the common area at the MEA. Several are coming and going over the next two months, but we will continue the large gatherings for Fourth of July and in August especially for the Olympics. We also socialize with others living in the suburbs or at other apartments in our complex and surrounding area. We go to Happy Hour on Friday's, plan trips to sight see, walk the wall, attend sporting events, plays, church, and try out new restaurants. The group is largely expats from the States, but we have Brazilian, British, Australian, Italian, Norwegian, Indian, and Chinese! What a group!
Assimilate into the Culture
♦ China is a cash society so do not plan on using Western credit cards for most items. It's important to create a good foreign bank account that does business in China (like CITI Bank) to overcome cash problems. Chinese people are warm and friendly and will go out of their way to help if you make the first effort. Do not be an ugly American type! Western styles of business are admired in China but are not adapted to Chinese businesses. Learn Chinese business ways and try to blend both business ways but slowly and positive manner. Patient is a virtue in China! Be patient, caring and a teacher if you want to succeed in China.
♦ Be open to the cultural differences. Accept the differences in work ethics, structure and pace.♦ Learn the language; explore the community and city; try local food; use public transportation if possible. ♦ Be patient, don't have unrealistic expectations. Relationships take time, change comes slowly.♦ Get out as much as you can, even if it's tough. Get to know the city. Buy Tess Johnston's walking books and walk her
routes. There is history in Shanghai, but you have to find it.

Safety/Medical
♦ Bring OTC (over the counter) medications from home that you are used to; antihistamines, cough drops, ibuprofen, vitamins, antibiotic cream, etc. Some stationary supplies are hard to find; slash folders, laminate sheets, etc. Don't expect to find the selection here you do at home.
♦ Personal security first.
