You Know You Have Been in The Middle East Too Long When...
If you have ever lived in the Land of Sand then this book will take you to a time when you shook your head, smiled a little and wondered just what you had gotten yourself into.
And you knew you had lived in the Middle East too long when...
... you thought that going home was just an expensive holiday.
... you needed a sweater when it was 300 celsius.
... your idea of housework was leaving a list for the maid.
... Friday meant brunch at the Ritz.
... you thought it was ok to park anywhere as along as your hazards were on.
... was the interval between the time it took for the light to turn green and for the guy behind you to lean on his horn.
My Expat Life
The expat life has its challenges. It's not home. The sooner you leave notions of home behind, the sooner you will settle into life as an an expat.
Don't let it bother you that hot water runs from the cold tap, that there are no rules of the road, that bottled water is cheaper here than at home. This is my world. This is the latest.
More photos, more quotes and more fun.
