The human "fruit salad" that is Luxembourg

Some friends were over the other night. The visitors were an Estonian-Estonian couple; friends of ours, or perhaps they are simply people we know. It can be hard to know where we all stand in others’ lives considering the way we’ve all spilled ourselves into Luxembourg over the years. That spillage has led to another phenomenon, the way we label ourselves and others.

Generally, we like to easily categorize people in order to have a reference point for how we relate to them. Since there doesn’t seem to be a wide variety of job choices for us ex-pats (banking or the institutions, for the most part), a convenient way to place people in the Grand Duchy is by nationality. We’re curious to know where we all come from.
