A daily struggle with Korean parents who admires American lifestyle, yet can’t take their daughter who intergrated the western lifestyle.  Enjoy.  I still blame it on the magnesium powder, though.

Hello TCKids Community! Looking for teenagers like myself who are familiar with being in new places with new people. A little about myself: I’m almost the replica of the main child in the famous book, The […]

I feel a little bit like a newbie on this site, even though I’ve had a profile since the original TCKid site, where I used to post every once in a while. Since then I’ve managed to make some roots. 
I’ll always be […]

So I’m in transition again – straddling two completely different and separate worlds, and feeling like I’m falling off both of them.
 
Have you ever felt this way during a summer vacation ‘home’ – wherever home […]

Hey daddy 😀 The characters escape my fingers before I have time to think. Sometimes I wonder if online conversations are faster than they are real life. Do we type faster than we talk? 
 
We make small chit chat, […]

and most of the times it’s at stupid hours of the morning.  In this case 3am.  Panic is setting in.  I’ve had two wonderful years at university, met so many fantastic people who have been so good to me.  Including […]

 
 
Tram wires cross Melbourne skies
Cut my red heart in two
My knuckles bleed down Johnston Street
on a door that shouldn’t be in front of me
 
12,000 miles away from your smile
I’m 12,000 miles away from […]

“The first step — especially for young people with energy and drive and talent, but not money — the first step to controlling your world is to control your culture. To model and demonstrate the kind of world you […]

I am the typical cultural fruit salad of a Tckid–Mother Japanese, Father American, spoke Japanese before I learned English; born in California, went to school in Japan, studied English; moved to States, studied […]

As I have reflected on my experience as a Third Culture Kid and heard from others with similar backgrounds, it is clear that many of us face a common internal conflict. It is the confrontation between visible […]

The City
You said, “I will go to another land, I will go to another sea.Another city will be found, better than this.Every effort of mine is condemned by fate;and my heart is — like a corpse — buried.How long in […]

I’m currently at Families in Global Transition Conference 2011 and live tweeting. Follow me @ahdancecompany and #FIGTConf – join the discussion of TCKs, TCK researchers, Expats!
 
Will blog about it on the […]

Just thought I’d throw this out there – I’d really like to have a TCK meet-up in Taipei, but am not sure where all the TKC’s are 🙂 If you’re in the area, what do you think of the idea?

In 1964, we moved to New York, in preparation for our even bigger move to Tokyo.  While there, we visited the World’s Fair.  It was here that the ride, “It’s A Small World” that now resides with Disney, made its […]
