Where Am I?

My Expat-terns

1. While at the Dongdaemun Night Market (Seoul, South Korea), trust your gut or face gastric consequences.
112. Exceptionalism and nationalism are a toxic brew that are often called patriotism. This sentiment is a universal habit with global consequences.
85. Never steal anything from the VIP section of the club. Just never. This should go without saying, but you would be surprised by the stupidity and insolence of some individuals.
121. Need to get lost in an afternoon? Listen to Cape Verdean music.
47. Cherish every moment before a long journey. Savor every amenity you possess, but also get drunk on the excitement that is about to unfold. The intoxication of the pre-adventure process is so joyous.
9. Sushi joints are not one of those things that you should just stumble upon.
80. I always cry when I end a long journey. I think it is healthy.
113. When it comes to national holidays, independence days and such, remember those who were not the “nationals” who helped build the nation and especially what nations were and still are there.
124. As a rule of thumb, it is good to at least be able to read more than one alphabet/orthography; it can help out in a pinch.
30. Context is key. It is key to everything, everywhere, and with everyone.

This little one was so quiet, Customs almost let us through until I mentioned the rabies vaccination and then they were like — oh, yeah, we need to see that! Go over there!
