Where Am I?

My Expat-terns

27. You will get sick when you travel. It is not the end of the world. Just rest. Marrakech, Tokyo, and/or possibly Milwaukee will still exist after you recover.
99. In Vancouver, it does not usually snow in the city. However, it is wet enough to ice over. Careful now!
7. Dogs are relatively the same around the world – all they want is a belly rub.
55. It’s best not to be a picky eater when traveling, and personally, I think this is true about life in general. It just makes everything so much more complicated. And, complications during travel should be avoided even if they are small. It’s not the end all be all though.
64. Contrary to popular belief, Americans aren’t the only obnoxious, monolingual travellers.
25. When you travel, try to stay in one location and revisit places once or twice. A restaurant will always appreciate a returning customer. 
72. Sleep is for the weak … and also the people that want to function at a respectable human level the following day.
94. As just a heads up, Turkish and Swahili are perfect languages in which to learn about affixes.
69. When in doubt, go out. You never know who you’ll run into … cough … celebrities … cough … it happened … cough …
68. Hostel cooking is the greatest test of imagination.
