Expat Commandments

Taken from http://www.nomarmiteintunisia.co.uk/
  • Though shalt not expect to find things as thou hast them at home for verily thou hast left home to explore different things.
  • Thou shalt not take anything too seriously, for a care-free mind is essential for a healthy body.
  • Thou shalt not sit around and mope and feel unwanted or unskilled; there are many people and organisations who would be grateful for your donations of time and energy.
  • Thou shalt not worry, for he that worrieth hath no pleasure.
  • When in Rome, thou shalt be prepared to do somewhat as the Romans do.
  • Thou shalt not judge the people of a country by the one person who has given thee trouble. Remember that thou art a guest in a foreign land, and he who treateth his host with respect shall be honoured.
