Expatriate: noun; a citizen who has left his or her own country to live in another, usually for a prolonged period


This blog is for my Sis. She currently lives in my native country The Land Before Children. (Hey, Jess!) She's thinking of making "The Big Move" and wanted me to jot down some notes about my experience in The Land of Parenting.

So, here you go, Jess...
I'm not an expert, so this will be short on advice and long on the bird's eye view of my experiments!

I can say, it's pricey, the food's terrible, the pace is grueling, and its a good thing the natives are cute because I've been tempted to strangle 'em! In spite of all that, its still the best move I've ever made and I don't regret it...on most days.

  1. You are the best sister ever! I can't wait to read about the perils, joys and hillarious moments that you have (and will) experienced in "The Land of Parenting". Love you! Jess

  3. I second your sister's observations thus far are spot on. ; ) But, oh how worth it.
