Welcome to www.expat9.com - The Expat Network !

Each city (Hong Kong, Macau and Zhuhai) have got their own site, so if you search content, you will not find HK info on the Macau site!
However, once registered or logged in on the network, you can go from one site to the next without having to register or login again.
In the course of the year, we intend to develop the network to other Asian cities. So keep an eye open :)
You can access the sites via the mother site (www.expat9.com) or directly:
http://hk.expat9.com (coming soon)
http://macau.expat9.com
http://zhuhai.expat9.com

Guests, Members, VIP Members
Everyone can read the all the info (well, almost...), but you need to register if you wish to post a Forum topic, a Classifieds ad or an A to Z review. No need to say that registering is easy, confidential and free!
In addition, after registering on one of the city sites (HK, Macau, Zhuhai), you may apply to become a VIP member.
It will only take an extra 2 minutes to fill in the VIP application form.
As a VIP member you will:
- be given a wonderful blog where you can post videos, slide shows and stories about your daily life as an Expat in Asia.
- have access to the VIP corner where you can interact live with other VIP members.
- be given a VIP card ( by the end of June) entitling you to great discounts in HK, Macau and Zhuhai ( to begin with).
Applying to become a VIP member is currently free of charge!

E-Newsletter
Guests, Members and VIP members may also subscribe to the city E-newsletter of their choice.
Simply click on the Newsletter icon and enter your email address.
We will then send you one (and only one) weekly email with all the lastest info from our site.
You can unsubscribe at any time by clicking on the unsubscribing link at the end of the newsletter.

A to Z Review
On www.expat9.com, you can promote your own business or recommend one ( like your favourite restaurant for example).
It will take 3 minutes to create your own web page ( no IT skills are required, don't worry!). Not only will it be referenced by Google but it is also completely free of charge :) ... so why not try now?
