kehidupan Nomad Moden

NormanJB

Zaman sekarang..nak hidup kena la bekerja...sampai kena hantar outstation 4-5 tahun dalam satu2 tempat...then kne hantar lagi tempat lain..so dorg ni dapat merasa pelbagai budaya dan cara kehidupan...dan apa kesan nye pada ank2...kesihatan mereka dan peljaran mereka...mesti la terganggu kecuali ibu bapa beri lebih fokus kepada anak mereka daripada mereka terjebak dgn budaya yang tidak sihat...


petikan drpd Malaysiadigest :

" “Where are you from?” No words ever scared me more than these. For most people they can answer that in one word. For people like me, it’s a paragraph.

“Do you mean my passport country? Or where I grew up as a child, or teenager? Or where my parents are at now (Sudan) or where I am living currently? I was born in Dhaka, Bangladesh, but I am Malaysian as both my parents are from there. I 'visited' Malaysia when I was one-year old, after which I moved to live in Brazil where I received my primary school. There, I learnt to speak my first languages: Portuguese and English. Malay was just spoken at home. I only spent four years of my childhood in Malaysia before moving again as a teenager to Kosovo, and had to learn German for two years.“

At eighteen, I finally got back ‘home’. But I will always have that Brazilian, Kosovar and Namibian culture fused to my personal culture, travelling through 30 countries and 4 continents before I was 21.

Call us 'global nomads', 'third culture kids' or in my case, a 'diplobrat;, what defines us all is a childhood spent growing up outside of our own country. Diplobrats might seem like a derogatory term but it is generally used to describe children of diplomats and other personnel who serve in diplomatic missions outside of their own country. "

Growing Up With The World As My Classroom Is Kinda Cool http://ow.ly/FXjt2
