April 10 - International Incident Day

Much has been said about the current state of politics around the globe. This post won't encourage you to punch out someone in hopes of starting a international incident. More than anything this post challenges you to learn more about other countries around the globe. This is an international blog right? Well let's take this opportunity to really get to learn more about other cultures/nations.

Post a comment here about questions or perceptions you might have about other countries. Maybe you want to share a travel story for your personal experiences. I know I enjoy reading other people's tales of life abroad. In order to avoid future international incidents, please share your personal accounts of world, or just ask a question.

I live two hours south of the American-Canadian border. It's a very interesting border, being the largest uncontrolled border in the world. I am very proud of this fact, but do fear this will change. You can drive perpendicular along the 49th parallel and in the middle of nowhere. It's amazing to me a little marker every 20 feet or so is all that separates the two countries. I love you Canada.

Can't we all just get along?

April 9 - International Boycott Lettuce Wedge Salad Day

It’s NOT a salad! It’s a quarter of a head of iceberg lettuce covered in crappy blue cheese dressing! That’s not worth $9.50!
Join us in boycotting ‘modern’ food by avoiding the lettuce wedge salad. Try a spinach salad, or for god’s sake – at least a chef salad if you must.

And remember our motto: “It’s just not salad unless it’s chopped.”

April 8 - International Flirt Day

We all know how to flirt, right? So, on International Flirt Day, choose someone you’ve always liked but have not had the courage to let them know. Indulge in a little harmless flirt with them, it may end up making their day, and yours!

Who knows where it may lead. And come back here to share your experience. I'm off to do that right now...

April 7 - International Take MacGyver to Work Day

Remember that old helium tank in the utility closet for birthdays? MacGyver can create a projectile bomb. What about the leftover cleaning supplies? A smokescreen in the elevator would sure be fun. He comes complete with swiss army knife and duct tape – you just supply the office and hilarity ensues! And really, what’s cooler than having him call you ‘Pete’ all day?

And if nothing else, he can put toner in the copy machine.

MacGyver says: ‘A paperclip can be a wondrous thing. More times than I can remember, one of these has gotten me out of a tight spot’
A mentally staggering quote from an American genius.

Disclaimer: there is only one real MacGyver. He’s busy. Your version may vary.

April 6 - International Positive Attitude Day

No matter what.

Your coffee spilling on you. Missing your bus. Your car breaking down. Finding out that the apple you just bought is rotten. The lift being out of order. Your boss shouting at you. And it isn't your fault.

No matter what.

Today, take a deep breath and just smile it off.
