TravelI've had guns pointed at me in many different countries, sometimes even by our own side. I've also sat on my own on a beach on a desert island, which was nice because nobody was trying to shoot me. Tell us your tales of foreign travel.
Thanks to SnowytheRabbit for the suggestion

I'm living overseas right now, as it happens.I've seen and done a lot of amazing things in the past eight months, with another three years to go, but nothing I really want to write up for this QOTW. I've met some very interesting expats, from the Russian classical pianist to a hilarious South African gent who reminds me of Charles Grey but with a sense of humor, but most of them are either really fucked up and living abroad because they can't work at home or are tedious. The worst of the lot inhabit the local rugby club. They might just as well have stayed in the UK. It's okay for going in for a beer or two, but that's about all I can stand.
The really interesting people have been the locals I've met through the offroading club. The Emiratis are pretty cool once they get to know you and have accepted you.
