The film “Idiocracy” was filmed in 2006, 18 years after your expatriation.

Yikes. I’m surrounded by assholes.

Good thing about being a US expat is that our culture is so prevalent and all-permeating that it is easy to keep up with. And at times, like during the OJ Simpson trial, the Clinton impeachment or the Michael Jackson trial/funeral, I was glad to be at a distance.

I did not necessarily plan on staying here and making it home, but things started getting interesting in 1989 so I decided to stick around. Now I have kids and everything, so I guess I will be here for a while yet.
