The Virtual Nomad

I have been a nomad for the past few years seemingly lost in an unfamiliar territory. I hauled my family from one place to another trying to follow the end of the rainbow in hopes of finding the pot of gold. (Truthfully though, it's only because I followed where the job is and because the opportunity looks far better than the deal that I then had in another foreign land. )

The world has changed since the mid-century concept, and so yes, I am not your typical Stepford wife. I am in a sub-modern family unit where the father and the mother both goes to work and are in equal footing on their roles in bringing home the bacon and taking care of the kids, the house, etc. I struggle to raise my kid in an environment very different from what I was raised in. So everyday I juggle between trying to keep her true to her ethnicity and make her blend well in the culture that she has grown accustomed to.

So many thoughts run through my head on trying to understand human nature in general. But the fact that I have been transported to practically uncharted waters and the realization of the differences in cultures in the world is something of an adventure in itself.

I think that, and my love for writing in general is worth writing a blog about. Thank you for stopping by and I hope you enjoy the read.
