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.
74. For some reason, socks and sandals are an acceptable fashion choice in the Czech Republic. Just accept it.
39. You can judge a place by the quality of its poutine.
105. As a friend once said, rap, everywhere but the US it seems, tends to be protest.
41. Respect customs agents even if they are assholes and super condescending to you. They literally control your fate. Throw in a, “yes Ma’am/Sir”, if you really want to seal the deal. If that doesn’t work, literally start worshipping them. Form a cult dedicated to their honor if you must.
87. In the Frankfurt airport (maybe in all German airports), you do not need a boarding pass to go through security. You receive it afterwards. This can save you some time if you are confused and late for your plane.
54. Nothing beats getting a haircut in a foreign country. What is more intimate? A conversation with a nice trim is the best way to get to know a city from a local.
93. Make friends with the food truck workers. They are saints.
48. Sometimes life will lead you into a drum circle. Just accept it at this point.
67. You will always be disadvantaged in life in some way, abroad or otherwise, but that doesn’t mean that you are helpless.

@zarakvancouver is a lovely experience with Afghan @zarakvancouver is a lovely experience with Afghan cuisine 🇦🇫 (افغان پخلی/آشپزی افغانی) Try mantou, kebab, palaw, and saffron tea, portions perfect for sharing!
