One of the hard parts of being an expat is that the people you are closest to – often other expats – are the most likely to pack up and move. This very week two expat friends are going repat: moving back to their native lands. One is a fellow blogger and American, the other […] As a result of growing up in Denver, Colorado, and the United States, there are certain things that, when I hear, I should automatically assume certain things. For example, when I hear the word “Georgia”, I should think of that state in the southeastern part of the United States.

So it is some humility (perhaps not as a writer but as a speaker of several memorable lines throughout the day), that I offer up some thoughts about Friday’s events.
