Thanks f...Hello "Helsinki Lives" welcome! Thanks for stopping by and leaving a comment. I agree with you the adaption often happens automatically (just like a chameleon...). I read a post by an adult third culture kid author and she wrote that due to her background and exposure to the world it made her a better writer. She could look at things from different angles. <br />I am convinced that we who grow up between cultures have great creative potential. We need to be free and express ourselves in whatever way we want. I recently went to a drama act in Amsterdam called "Third Culture Kid" and preformed by a third culture kid.DrieCulturenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02967917534503254138noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2083060414078872115.post-35875590495338251802012-07-07T01:22:59.220+02:002012-07-07T01:22:59.220+02:00I think it's also that we automatically adapt ...I think it's also that we automatically adapt before we even think about it, it just comes naturally. Then, when someone makes a really weird comment, or something triggers the thinking process, we've been easing ourselves into the culture for so long, it's second nature to us. That critical voice a lot of people have, hasn't been turned on as early as for some others. On the "darker" side, maybe creativity is the only outlet for when things can't be explained to others, either because they've always been in the same place all of their lives, or they can't relate for other reasons. So you either retreat into your own shell, or else you try and come up with creative ways on how to communicate all that you're feeling. Never mind all that travel, I think you learn pretty quickly how to come up with interesting ways to make long hours less boring. <br /><br />Just discovered your blog this minute, so belated hi and I have a feeling I'll really like it here. <br /><br />P.S. I can never figure out how to comment using my blog on blogspot (have the same problem with a friend of mine), and since I don't want to be Ms. Anonymous, here's the url: <br /><br />http://helsinkilives.wordpress.com/Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2083060414078872115.post-45197480188721316212012-07-01T22:15:13.551+02:002012-07-01T22:15:13.551+02:00Looking forward to reading your book @flyawayhome ...Looking forward to reading your book @flyawayhome in the near future.
