Welcome to the Mayhem Team...Great first post, Eden. Welcome to the Mayhem Team!<br /><br />You are talking about my childhood. I loved the following: <i>They create a culture that is not integrated fully into the native culture, nor is it a culture on its home turf. For the most part, these kids are poised and engaged. They are all diplomats in a very real way.</i><br /><br />I spent the first 9 years of my life living in Panama, Honduras, and Switzerland--going to local or international schools--because my father was a diplomat. It's nice to know that I was a diplomat too!!Michael G-Ghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07947421844294471304noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2173408054965817352.post-6681040701955895042012-03-07T08:57:03.645-06:002012-03-07T08:57:03.645-06:00Third culture -- that's an excellent descripti...Third culture -- that's an excellent description! I went to preschool and Kindergarten in Saudi Arabia, and when I came back to the US was lost in my own culture. I attended an international school like you described. It really was a wonderful time for my entire family and shaped who I am today.<br /><br />Welcome!Caroline Starr Rosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04597510685273079757noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2173408054965817352.post-80048549860986542422012-03-07T08:34:09.802-06:002012-03-07T08:34:09.802-06:00Welcome to PM, Eden!
