Temporary TCKid Home

@ Hi Suzasnne. Yeah Africa has its way with each of us who has lived there. after returning after 32 years, I couldn’t belive how much I felt “at home” and just loved it. In some ways it just makes it more complicated….which world to choose to live in??? For now I am trying hard to stick with NZ, for all sorts of reasons, but I will travel back…[Read more]

@ Hi Miyon. Yep, film/video production is my thing. I work in it job-wise and creatively as well. I think having a cross cultural background provoked it. So who else is a film person?

@ Thank you for the welcome!

And yes, I’m a singer!

@ I live on Capitol Hill. It’s cool that you’re in South Africa spending the holidays with your parents. I recently went to Liberia to visit my Dad for Thanksgiving. I’m still dreaming about the warm weather in Africa….good thing you missed the massive snow storm in DC this weekend 🙂

Happy Holidays and Happy New Year!

Welcome to MY.TCKID!

my brother’s pronunciation in korean is a bit off because of his childhood overseas..

i also think that deciding what is the authentic accent really is unfair and pointless at times because it really is about the power relations.. the standard chinese became…[Read more]
