"inter-ocean ethos"

As a friend recently noted in an email, any mail you send to me at this point (at my Ugandan posta address) is likely to get lost in the "inter-ocean ethos."

So, if you've written something that you've been planning and planning to send me, keep planning. Instead of sending it to my Ugandan address, send it to my parents' address (email me if you need it). Or hang on to it and hand it to me when I soon get to see you in person.

It's all part of the leaving process...
