Foreign Cultures and Customs

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?

The world is a wonderful place! When you travel around with an open mind, how can you not be gobsmacked by all the spectacular sights and weird stuff everywhere?

Cultural confusion: Beautiful Dutch girl gets complimented by sincere African man and disaster strikes.

An ordinary day in the mysterious Caucasian land called Armenia (where I expatted for six years) — a day I toiled away at writing a romance novel. An ordinary day without a world crisis but featuring a dead body and a bit of dancing and drinking in the end.
