Where Am I?

My Expat-terns

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.
112. Exceptionalism and nationalism are a toxic brew that are often called patriotism. This sentiment is a universal habit with global consequences.
111. This may sound grim, but if you ever are lucky enough to observe a minor car “accident” in Israel, just enjoy what unfolds as fifteen people who did not see what happened come up to explain what they saw.
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.
59. Nothing is more obnoxious than an entitled traveler, especially one who doesn’t even realize it or worse, doesn’t care.
110. Tel Aviv is literally the gayest place ever. Ever. As in, there are so many gay people.
51. You can find the brightest light even in the sheerest darkness. I promise.
94. As just a heads up, Turkish and Swahili are perfect languages in which to learn about affixes.
44. Try to save travel money. Always have that in mind because funds are essential. Do you really need that other thing right now or can you put your wallet away for when you are in Croatia? Your choice.
64. Contrary to popular belief, Americans aren’t the only obnoxious, monolingual travellers.

I was gonna make a pun with the ‘Atlas Mountains I was gonna make a pun with the ‘Atlas Mountains’ and ‘Atlas Shrugged’ ...

— But, instead I think I’ll just take the moment to say fuck Ayn Rand and I hope she has to volunteer in Hell.
