My Expat-terns

34. Sometimes life is so complicated, surprising, and/or just bizarre at an instance, all you can do is throw your arms in the air, equate the situation to where you are, and exclaim, “Because [Insert Country’s Name]!” For example, you might find about 600 Soles in your host family’s oven while looking for food – Because Peru!
80. I always cry when I end a long journey. I think it is healthy.
2. Avoid saying you’re American while trying to bargain abroad. It may be harder to get a good deal.
83. Go to countries where you really don’t understand a word; it is all the more thrilling.
39. You can judge a place by the quality of its poutine.
98. Halloween is sadly not accepted by everyone. It is a very culturally relative holiday.
114. What you “home cook” often tells what culture(s) you’re from. It is one of the most honest indicators.
50. Touch your palm – it is warm. You are living, so live. Celebrate life’s intricacies and subtleties everyday whether you travel or not.
49. Put sense of place above all else.
75. If you as a citizen of the United States are often abroad during important national holidays, I recommend doing very American activities to compensate for your utter lack of patriotism. Nothing obnoxious of course, but why not spend a little time at Starbucks on the 4th of July in Prague or buy something online you definitely do not need on Labor Day in Taiwan? Very American.
