My Expat-terns

18. Doing sink laundry is an art form every backpacker needs to learn. All you need is a sink, powdered detergent, and manual labor.

22. Always be respectful to foreign languages. Don’t complain that they’re weird to grasp or understand. Foreign languages can be quite spiteful and they will make themselves even harder to learn if you do so. They just want to be accepted for what they are. They won’t be anything else.

65. Czech people tell you how it is, no little, no more.

46. Get into a dance off with a local.

95. Italian is one of the most fun languages in which to flirt, especially with actual Italians.

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.

50. Touch your palm – it is warm. You are living, so live. Celebrate life’s intricacies and subtleties everyday whether you travel or not.

115. Beware in Swedish clubs – if you are a short human being, prepare to be manhandled.

45. Gaining certain alliances and supporting foreign nations demonstrates great levels of acceptance and fraternity on your behalf, but not everything you pick from other countries is always beneficial or politically correct. For example after living in Chile, I cannot stand the Argentine accent. The rivalry has been ingrained!

106. Israelis love to haggle. So, haggle away. They also like getting in your way when you are walking somewhere.
