Where Am I?

My Expat-terns

46. Get into a dance off with a local.
118. Swedes and sugar are a match-made in heaven. Especially around the holidays.
38. People often travel to escape and start fresh. I’ve done it; I am not ashamed. However unless you are truly nomadic, you will have to return to dwell in familiarity eventually. Always make sure you have a home waiting for you. Of course, “a home” is a loose definition.
10. No matter where you go, there is always an upper and lower class. Or at least, the former will remind you of this fact.
35. The Québécois dialect has its own unique beauty. This is difficult for some to accept.
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.
99. In Vancouver, it does not usually snow in the city. However, it is wet enough to ice over. Careful now!
63. You’ll meet a lot of Australians backpacking. Get to know them; they are brilliant.
104. Vancouver has a bed bug problem. Trust me.
25. When you travel, try to stay in one location and revisit places once or twice. A restaurant will always appreciate a returning customer.
