Best: Immersing yourself in a new country, learning to live in a new culture

Worst: Homesickness, stages of culture shock and adjustment, not always easy

Well I've only met one Expat...

Best: you get to meet someone in person that you've chatted with and hopefully make a great new friend

Worst: you meet a new friend that lives halfway around the world so don't see them much! or it could be that you meet a freak and want to run and hide  :o ;D

Best: Possibly a better education than pubic schools. Maybe.

Worst: Sheltered educational and social experience, lack of diversity, elitist

(I went to private school for one year and I hated it.  :P)

Best: it's soft, warm and cuddly

Worst: its not as soft after you've washed a few times, you may end up looking like a polar bear if it's too bulky  ;D

Best - excellent for cutting down on the use of plastics (another product made from oil)
Worst - if you don't have enough with you, or when they get stained and you can't get them clean

Best--important information is disseminated..and you get  to  visit with your co workers..

worst--  most times  it is repetitive  and  too long because people don't stick to the topic..

Best: great people that help you out with snow blowing and keep an eye on things when you are away.

Worst: when they call to tell you your car is stuck in the snow bank, like you didn't already know  ::) ;D
