    1. Thanks so much, Alisdair! I've tried to condense things I've heard over the years...and, I'm just as guilty as the next expat!

  3. In my defence, I don't drink coffee so am indifferent to Starbucks, I have never eaten yam butter and have not skied in Japan (yet). Because of the importance of 'having a car', my children are spared of the pressure from me to speak to cab drivers in Mandarin. I will never be found at boot camp. But other wise, guilty as charged.
