Enjoyed this piece! I'm jealous that you've lived in so many countries. A funny story I have about using emojis in digital discourse: A colleague of mine sent an email basically tell the recipient that she was working on the project and it would be ready soon. She ended this with a smiley face. Apparently, this was seen as passive-aggressive by the recipient, who burst into tears and then complained to her manager.
Lovely piece. Really complements What Bangs piece this week as well, and both seem to have reached me as I have been pondering thoughts around words.
I really like the pass the salt quote at the end.
I've been looking for an excuse to use that quote for a long time!
Y'all are making me want to tackle Wittgenstein.
haha, I wish you the best of luck...
loved it!
Thanks Sharmistha :)

Yeah, it's really a minefield.... I really enjoyed the stickers in Thailand, there is a sticker for anything you can imagine
