My son just got back from 3 months in Cambodia, and, together with another son who lived in Peru for 2 years, we have had an interesting time comparing observations. It has made me realize that I not only need to encourage cultural training for folks entering a new culture, but I need to begin describing…
My family went pet-less overseas and then got a dog in the Middle East. We named him Morgen. He was a Dalmatian. And when it came time to move from one overseas location to another, he was a hungry, nervous, piece of freight. All things considered, having a large pet is not very compatible with…

America is, for the most part, a place of law and order. If there are lines painted to show which way to go, we stay within the lines. If the street has a line down the middle, we don’t often go over that line. For the American abroad, following such restrictive habits may lead to…
