Not to be the spelling police, but it's expatriate
I've been to many countries, and haven't seen much of a fixed gear culture.
Singapore - lived there 5 months, saw 1 fixie. Lots of messenger bags there, everyone has Crumplers.
Hong Kong - Not many bikes at all
China - Lots of utilitarian SS bikes in Beijing
Taiwan - " " in Taipei
I've been to not-so-developed countries (Vietnam, Indonesia, Malaysia, Thailand, Cambodia) as well. Usually the craziness of traffic is inverse of the amount of money the place has. Lots of bikes in those places though.
