A Very International Class

Hi everyone~!

It's been a super long time since i last posted, huh! I've been very busy, you see :) I spent my entire summer split between visiting family in Asia and family in the USA, and haven't found the time to write anything, especially with university looming around the corner.

And wouldn't you know it - time flies! University is already a week in, and finally i'm writing to share with you an experience in a particular class. :)

So as you may or may not know, i've always wished to be a person that travelled a lot, or a TCK, or an expat, or anything similar, but no dice. I live with a single culture, through and through.

So imagine my surprise when i went to one of my classes (small class, ~25 people), and the teacher asked, "who is not from here?"

and ~95% of the people raised their hands.

As such, we went through introductions, mostly stating our names and where we're from.

And most people have come from places outside of here, and many were from 2 or more ethnicities.

Naturally, i was one of the ~5% people who was born "here," raised "here," and might as well live the rest of my life "here."

To be honest, i think that this is the only time i've ever been in an area with so many people from so many different places. It's really interesting, although i have only talked to a handful of them.

But wow - short entry huh. but anyway, i thought that it'd be interesting to share this, since it was particularly interesting to me.

As for updating - i'll do my best to update but from here on out there will probably be no planned updates.



Up next: My time in Taiwan; My time in Seattle.



See you next time ! <3
