In this second volume of AAFSW's "Realities of Foreign Life," 29 members of the U.S. diplomatic community - including employees, spouses and one articulate teen - share their knowledge, research and personal perspectives, broadening and extending the first book's candid insights into the Foreign Service lifestyle. Focusing on the "realities" faced by diplomats and their families outside the embassy or consulate walls, the authors explore topics such as schooling and housing abroad, intercultural marriage, medical evacuations, employment for accompanying partners, and the growing number of unaccompanied assignments. - If you are already a member of the Foreign Service community (and especially if you have recently joined), this book will provide useful and practical information for the fascinating but often challenging journey ahead. - If you (or your partner) are thinking about entering the Foreign Service, this book joins the first volume in serving as a "reality check," offering a clear view of both the positive and negative aspects of Foreign Service life, for partners and children as well as employees. - If you are a student contemplating a career in diplomacy, a friend or relative of a Foreign Service member - or if you are simply curious about the lives of U.S. diplomats and their families overseas - this book will give you an insider's perspective found nowhere else.Binding Type: Paperback

It worked out some9ne else needed this size so we just sold it to another and I have to reorder NY size downfall I guess they don't make 30 gallon in this scent that part I'm sad about its the one scent that doesn't bother my senses like the others do.

Good, could be better.
Style: Fresh Clean Breeze-Black
Nice scent, but not as "heafty" as they used to be. They break a lot more easily.

Strong, reliable trash bags we consistently reorder
Style: White Pine Breeze, Size: 50 Count (Pack of 1)
These Hefty Ultra Strong 30-gallon trash bags have been a dependable household staple for us and are set up on Subscribe & Save because they work consistently. The bags are thick, durable, and hold up well to heavier loads without tearing or leaking.
The drawstring closure is sturdy and makes tying and carrying the bag easy, even when it’s full. We use these for general household trash as well as occasional heavier cleanup, and they’ve held up well against punctures and sharp edges.
The White Pine Breeze scent is noticeable but not overpowering. It helps control odors without smelling artificial or too strong.
Overall, these are reliable, heavy-duty trash bags that do what they’re supposed to do. Since they’ve been consistent and trouble-free, we continue to reorder them and have no reason to switch.
