Moon circles are usually best seen on an asphalted road.

Sealed road or all weather road or tarmac road are all more likely I would say. In any case, its only out in the countryside that it is even necessary - in the vast majority of cases it is just a road.

For some reason we only use "tarmac" at airports.

Yup... That made me check the wiki, and it seems to be an unproper use too...

macadam and tarmac pavements can still sometimes be found buried underneath asphalt concrete or Portland cement concrete pavements, but are rarely constructed today.

I think it completely depends on the individual and how they feel about the place they've chosen to live. Expats don't necessarily repatriate (or intend to someday do so), they choose to live outside of their birth/citizenship country. Some country hop, some stay for 5-10 years or more. Expats don't generally integrate/fully immerse into the society they're residing in. Immigrants make a decision to establish a permanent life somewhere.
In Kenya, I am an immigrant. In Denmark and Japan, I'm an expat. I'm here to do a job and have no intention to make this permanent. If I decided to stay here for love or because I develop an attachment to the culture/society that I feel has become part of my soul, then I would immigrate.
