expatriate myopia

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...
