Where Am I?

My Expat-terns

89. No matter where you are or where you all come from, talk to your roommates/suite-mates/partners about what bothers you. Do not let any situation between you all get out of hand.
37. When you travel, especially on long solo journeys, it is quite easy to grow lonely. Loneliness is a parasite. It can go unnoticed until it drains the last of your warmth alone in bed at night. Its repellant is courage. It fears courage to meet new people, say hello, and smile. You can pick courage up at any local café, hostel, or town square.
65. Czech people tell you how it is, no little, no more.
45. Gaining certain alliances and supporting foreign nations demonstrates great levels of acceptance and fraternity on your behalf, but not everything you pick from other countries is always beneficial or politically correct. For example after living in Chile, I cannot stand the Argentine accent. The rivalry has been ingrained!
51. You can find the brightest light even in the sheerest darkness. I promise.
109. It is common in Rwandan culture to have one or two personal talents. What are your talents?
96. The acclimation process is different for everyone. It challenges each of us to ask ourselves exactly who we want.
91. Never underestimate the lengthiness of a third culture kid’s life story …
69. When in doubt, go out. You never know who you’ll run into … cough … celebrities … cough … it happened … cough …
60. Pout in the Paris metro system.

@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
