A U.S. Expat's Adventures in Oz: Sydney, Soul Food & Secret Societies
http://expatsinoz.blogspot.com/2009/11/sydney-soul-food-secret-societies.html
Thursday, November 12, 2009. Sydney, Soul Food and Secret Societies. We got to know each other quickly, exchanging stories about how we met our partners and how we ended up in Australia. Not surprising, a high percentage of the stories included alcohol, a club and some booty shaking. Who says you can't find love up in da club? November 15, 2009 at 4:55 PM. Still looking for the chop sticks at that place. November 15, 2009 at 6:34 PM. November 15, 2009 at 11:55 PM. November 17, 2009 at 8:30 AM. I raise my...

A U.S. Expat's Adventures in Oz: September 2009
http://expatsinoz.blogspot.com/2009_09_01_archive.html
Tuesday, September 29, 2009. One thing that Ive learned in my short time here is that folks pretty quickly pick out that Im not exactly from these parts. Either they think that (1) Im just here for a visit or (2) are expecting me to leave pretty soon. They give me that look like theyre letting me in on the secret that there arent that many Black people here. DUH! See Mands - I told you I could say it) Below are few things I like to do it give myself a bit of a laugh. Links to this post. Come on - we l...

A U.S. Expat's Adventures in Oz: Hey Hey Saturday - Oh No They Didn't!
http://expatsinoz.blogspot.com/2009/10/oh-no-they-didnt.html
Friday, October 9, 2009. Hey Hey Saturday - Oh No They Didn't! For example, I went out with some mates last week and while having a beer we found ourselves next to a fewer older gentleman (60 ). I could see one of them looking at me and could see that he was just busting a gut to say something. My mates and I said hello and the 1st thing that jumped out of this guy's mouth to me was "Lionel Richie! Now I know that all Black people look alike but come on - Lionel Richie? That's not to say that racism does...

A U.S. Expat's Adventures in Oz: Thanksgiving in Australia: Building a New Tradition
http://expatsinoz.blogspot.com/2009/11/thanksgiving-in-australia-building-new.html
Saturday, November 28, 2009. Thanksgiving in Australia: Building a New Tradition. This is the 2nd Thanksgiving. Pigs feet and chitlins (or chitterlings. For the unacquainted) is next to impossible? Next to being with family, the key symbol Thanksgiving is all about the food! In addition to those mentioned above, I have yet to see a rutabaga in the produce section or a sweet potato pie or my mama's homemade apple cobbler. Family - a free cooked meal is usually enough to motivate the crew (check). A Blessi...
