Where Am I?

My Expat-terns

46. Get into a dance off with a local.
62. Not all “coffee shops” are equal in Amsterdam.
76. H&M’s clothing prices and product restocking speed are questionable at best, but sometimes you just got to get some shorts, so you don’t die of heatstroke.
50. Touch your palm – it is warm. You are living, so live. Celebrate life’s intricacies and subtleties everyday whether you travel or not.
83. Go to countries where you really don’t understand a word; it is all the more thrilling.
120. Greeks can be a little cliquey going out, unfortunately.
17. To swagger back conceited and contemptuous from an adventure is an ironic setback for us all. 
20. Always triple check that you have all your belongings before you leave. If not, you could make yourself very sad.
101. It is difficult to completely forget a language that is important to you. Though, things can fade regardless.
18. Doing sink laundry is an art form every backpacker needs to learn. All you need is a sink, powdered detergent, and manual labor.

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!
