My Expat-terns

118. Swedes and sugar are a match-made in heaven. Especially around the holidays.
109. It is common in Rwandan culture to have one or two personal talents. What are your talents?
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.
35. The Québécois dialect has its own unique beauty. This is difficult for some to accept.
5. A fried egg on top makes any food better!
62. Not all “coffee shops” are equal in Amsterdam.
115. Beware in Swedish clubs – if you are a short human being, prepare to be manhandled.
72. Sleep is for the weak … and also the people that want to function at a respectable human level the following day.
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!
113. When it comes to national holidays, independence days and such, remember those who were not the “nationals” who helped build the nation and especially what nations were and still are there.

@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! Service is impeccable and kind, with a perhaps overly organized reservation system xoxo • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • #afghancuisine #afghan #cooking #afghanistan🇦🇫 #vancouverfoodie #vancouver #eats #restaurant #review #travel #blog #centralasia #afghanfood #mantou #kebab #kofta #bolani #foodphotography #travelblog #vancityeats
