Life Abroad

In Indonesia, my four-year-old expat daughter is outraged and in tears, suffering from a culture crisis. Is it funny?

How getting your daily fix of good bread can make you feel like a criminal. If you live abroad, politics may get in the way of your habit.

Living abroad I’m enthralled by the fun of small stuff, the funky details, the touching scenes and happenings you find in foreign climes.

As an expat in Africa, I observe the culture shock of a charming high-maintenance beauty just arrived from sterile Singapore. Will a little Zen help?

I stare at my funky self in the mirror. What to do? Screaming is hard work, so I decide to be Zen about it. It is what it is. Hair will grow back.
