Temporary TCKid Home

@ P.S. Paul, I do like chat, so thanks for telling me about that. So many fascinating online and real world things to do, and so little time 🙂

@ Paul, I saw your pictures of snow. Now I regret seeing them because I feel cold again after drinking several cups of green tea and finally warmed up.

@ Hi Paul and Miyon,

Thanks for being so nice and welcoming.

Miyon, yes, I do teach Intercultural Communication. I don’t know Dr. Koven, but the research topic sounds interesting. Intercultural (Communication, Relations, whatever) can be a most fascinating subject. Your major and focus sound great too, and I’d love to hear more about your…[Read more]

@ My studied styles are opera and broadway. At present my only affiliation is with Opera Lancaster, but I hope to expand soon! And yes, if I could travel the world while doing my thing, well, I honestly can’t imagine anything better!

I always welcome new friends. I’m sure Tricia and I will get along fine!

@ Rachel,
I repatriated to the Boston area five years ago and have been running into TCKs I’ve known from my globe trotting days right, left and center. The stories were all so similar. The re-entry is really tough and what is so surprising is that no one expects it will be. The missionary sector knows this and many international Christian schools…[Read more]

@ Hi, Tina–where were you when I came “back” to the States to go to college?!? LOL. I dropped out of college due to culture shock, and never went back. . . Oh, well. . . 😛
I’m very glad to see that kids these days are getting the help they need. Is you work with/through the army?
Welcome to this group! Glad to have you. –Rachel

@ Hi Miyon, yes I am on the board of directors for FIGT and co-chair the program committee with Lois Bushong (who is also a member on this site) for the annual conference. If you’ve never been, you should check it out.

@ Hi Lois, Fancy meeting you here! Ha! Congratulations on your feature.
Talk to you soon.

@ Hi! I really adore it here. We are in small city in the South and at first were a little disappointed not to be in Stockholm or Malmo but now we are finding that this is a good thing. It is very charming and we have been made to feel a part of the Swedish Community much more here since there are really not many other ex-pats that we know of. It…[Read more]

@ I hate it when I hear about Asian TCKs getting asked that kind of question :[
I visited NYC (because of typical TCK itchy feet lol) and I was
constantly asked if I speak English, which annoyed me
Yeah, I don’t really fit into the U.S. either…I can’t really synch with the whole
‘I love my car’ ‘sex jokes’ ‘I love football’ etc etc culture…
I…[Read more]

@ Hi Miyon & Paul
I am glad that I am here on these forums. I met Ruth Van Reken in Spain in ECIS conference and have been reading/following up with TCKs around me and in me. I am sure there will be great and in plenty of opportunity and moments of learning and sharing.
All the best
