I realize that some of you don't approve of the word "expat". In fact, I called a certain friend - you know who you are Alex - and he almost got off the phone with me because I used it too many times in a row.
Unfortunately, I'm probably going to use that word a lot in the upcoming months, so apologies if it offends your sensibilities. I just don't have another word for someone from another country living and working here. Everyone calls them ex-pats, I didn't make it up.
I'm open to the word "Pause-Pat" - I just don't know if it will catch on.
America, I still love you. You were just smothering me a little. I think we need a break, see some other countries for a bit. I'll be back in a year and I'm sure we can work things out.
