Officially an Expat?

Does preferring a foreign reproduction of an American product over the original American product mark the transition into an official expat?

If so, make me a name tag, because Finz have Goldfish beat any day with their oh so delicious 'magic dust' coating of sweet and savoury goodness.

Question of the Day

I'm currently wondering why air conditioning feels so luxuriously amazing when I  have absolutely zero need for it.  While this 'summer' has been lovely, especially compared to the last one, between the mild temperatures and the refrigeration properties of granite, our house is perfectly cold simply by turning the heating off.  But stepping into our air conditioned hotel room last weekend felt absolutely heavenly.  And this coming from someone who was so sick of wearing layers of sweaters and scarves inside during Doha's 56°C summers because the air conditioning was turned down to such a cold temperature everywhere.

So tell me, why I am currently yearning for the luxury of air conditioning when not only do I not need it, but it would make our house way too cold?
