Hey guys I just found out about this place a few hours ago. A little background: I was born in Colombia and I lived there for 12 years. My father’s company offered him a position in the US and being 12 years old when I was asked if I wanted to go there I of course said yes thinking of food fights and snow fights. Unfortunately I moved to North Carolina where it rarely snows enough to make a decent snowman and where I found out the US school system is far more strict than movies had led me to believe. I’ve been living there for 10 years now and I’m currently studying Economics and International Studies doing my year abroad in Beijing. I speak fluent Spanish and English and I’m currently working on my Chinese.

The funny thing is that I did not have trouble fitting in and to this day I don’t have trouble fitting in. I’ve been a geeky kid since first grade reading Tin Tin and Asterix instead of playing soccer. I’ve been playing video games, D&D, and Magic for a while now and although many of you may find it absurd (internationals are not ones for those kinds of activities) I feel more of a geek than Colombian or American. Hence no matter if I am in the states playing TF2 or with my friends in Colombia playing D&D or here in China playing Magic I have a group of people I belong with. My brother has the same kind of thing with skateboarding but we don’t know many other TCKs (I only found out about the concept today) so we don’t know if this is very rare or common or what. Also, does internet culture count as a culture? (I haven’t come to terms with this myself)
