My Expat-terns

53. Of course, never forget to embrace uncertainty and the spontaneity of travel: the thrill of adventure.
19. When you cook, accept that you are going to get messy. When you let go of the idea of keeping your kitchen clean when you try to make 뚝만두국 (Korean Dumpling Soup) or Tres Leches Cake, it will taste so much better and cook so much easier. 
92. Do not let your ethno/national-centrism get the best of you. For example, Canadians do celebrate Thanksgiving; it is just in October, not November. If you go to the store Thanksgiving weekend thinking it will be a normal shopping spree, you will be punished for your ignorance when you cannot find any goddamn pecans or rosemary.
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!
71. Nothing is more refreshing than a little flirting on the sidewalk with a new friend after a long night of dancing even if you get a bit lost in translation; that’s the cute part.
50. Touch your palm – it is warm. You are living, so live. Celebrate life’s intricacies and subtleties everyday whether you travel or not.
117. The sprinkles are a must try in Sweden. It’s the little things in life.
13. You and your host family should try to learn from each other. That means you both have to be open minded.
96. The acclimation process is different for everyone. It challenges each of us to ask ourselves exactly who we want.
7. Dogs are relatively the same around the world – all they want is a belly rub.
