expatriate myopia
by Normally Light Fingered on Feb 03, 2010 20:35:52
a form of blindness resulting from having travelled to a remote part of the planet, under very difficult conditions, only to realise that there's a tour group there.
Expatriate myopia causes you to not see
the tour bus, the group or any individual that may remotely come from where you're from. It's often accompanied by
deafness. Usually contracted by backpackers...
Example:
Diane developed expatriate myopia in Bakit
Lawang, having arrive there after a 23 hour bus trip, only to find that every room was taken by Australian
Year 12 students on
schoolies.
