I'm your Garden-Variety Internet Random.
I guess I was a TCK, short for Third Culture Kid, before it was a thing though I don't really see the glamour of it.
I am Eurasian, with the following Second-Generation Mix that I can trace:
- German
- Portuguese
- Arabic
- Chinese
- Ambonese
- Madurese
Grew up in Sydney - Australia, Marsfield to be exact.
Native Language is English, Parent's and Grandparents' Native Language is Dutch per Colonialism, and unfortunately I'm not an expert of it. I speak several National Languages of South East Asia fluently alongside some Regional Ethnic Languages.
I am trying to learn Japanese in my spare time, but I feel it's better left for when I return to live there again.
We weren't rich growing up, but I was always grateful so I never had envy; everything has its time.
I was raised with the understanding that I stand on the Shoulders of Giants and that Honour is the most important thing one has.
I don't believe in a god per se, but I do believe in a Natural Order or Karma.
I've learnt Empathy from the life I've lived and it continues to be an interesting one.
It does help to travel the World and live in other Countries, but only if one comes with an Open Mind.
I hope everyone here gets a chance to do so in their lifetimes.
