Thank you, Fred!
Expats is short for expatriates, people living in a foreign country.
There were other attempts to make T-shirts for English speakers here, like ones that said "No, I don't want to buy DVD" in Chinese on the front (people get asked if they want to buy DVD all the time in some locations), but they don't sell well; I think that the design should contain a picture at least and be a bit smarter to sell well.

A lot of these foreigners work as English teachers, many work in offices for companies that sent them here from their home country, they do all kinds of business, just like anywhere else.
I'd like to come up with a picture/slogan that relates to their life here, make a joke out of a typical problem or issue, like current financial crisis and lay-offs. I understand that I should know these kind of things better myself since I live here, but your ideas on the whole topic may help my brain start working in the right direction, I hope.

(I was also thinking of putting on a T-shirt a detailed map of the local subway system together with instructions how to get to the airport, how much taxi ride costs, etc. But I guess people who live here already know all this and the T-shirt wouldn't be useful).

Thanks again, I'm looking forward to an interesting discussion here!
