My Expat-terns

84. Sometimes, it is better to go home early, especially if your health is in question. You may miss out on some adventures, but there will be more. There always are.
61. I hear you should always let the Irishman have the last word.
36. Sometimes cake is the answer to a long day with an even longer tomorrow on the horizon. Somehow this simple dessert can make all tension melt away like cream cheese frosting. Cake is a wonderful travel companion. I met a hiking enthusiast/ amateur life guru who trekked the Appalachian Trial (AT) drawing strength from the Hostess Brand assortment of desserts. Cake is a battery of a treat for all travellers.
4. When a park ranger tells you to get your hands off a Giant Tortoise, you better get your hands off the damn turtle!
118. Swedes and sugar are a match-made in heaven. Especially around the holidays.
70. I have met a handful of older Czech men who have just scared me shitless. I don’t know about you people, but when an old Czech man starts rambling on to me about chakras, fascism, and his deceased family, I get the fuck out of there!
112. Exceptionalism and nationalism are a toxic brew that are often called patriotism. This sentiment is a universal habit with global consequences.
101. It is difficult to completely forget a language that is important to you. Though, things can fade regardless.
46. Get into a dance off with a local.
83. Go to countries where you really don’t understand a word; it is all the more thrilling.

@zarakvancouver is a lovely experience with Afghan @zarakvancouver is a lovely experience with Afghan cuisine 🇦🇫 (افغان پخلی/آشپزی افغانی)

Try mantou, kebab, palaw, and saffron tea, portions perfect for sharing!

Service is impeccable and kind, with a perhaps overly organized reservation system xoxo
