Where Am I?

My Expat-terns

74. For some reason, socks and sandals are an acceptable fashion choice in the Czech Republic. Just accept it.
15. Returning to a life of normalcy and routine is not giving up your adventurous spirit.
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.
100. Understand the land where you travel. This means more than simply knowing, “X country is between the Y sea and Z mountain range.” No. It is about whose land it is rightfully, what it is/was used for, and understanding your status on it.
88. Sometimes if you are not a local, you cannot get the best price. Just let it go, no matter how frugal you are.
6. Just because you have an outlet adapter that doesn’t mean you’ll be able to charge your technology well. 
123. Find someone who makes you feel like you are everywhere when you are with them.
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.
52. Book early – Flights, hostels, and work arrangements. Be organized and pay beforehand. For long trips, I’d say schedule a few months in advance.
94. As just a heads up, Turkish and Swahili are perfect languages in which to learn about affixes.
