Geopats: balancing culture shock
No matter where you're from or where you've moved to or are planning to move to, this podcast can help you get grounded. These are conversations that with other long term expats and internationals about what grounded them in their other places in the world. We embrace culture shock and learn from it. Some conversations are focused on books, others language, online communities and more. These are candid, vulnerable conversations that reflect our ups and downs adjusting to life elsewhere.
Geopats: balancing culture shock
A Chinese international student in Scotland writes
Do you have a spiritual home? Xing Zhao does. He's a Chinese Writer, Translator and former international student in Edinburgh, Scotland. Xing shares with us a blog post, Kapa Zhou, that he wrote during his first year studying in Scotland. He goes on to reflect on how his memories of that time period and how they are not fully represented in the blog entry. Xing also shared a post he wrote on the Chinese language version of this blog as advice to other international students. As someone who has taught international students both in Asia and in my passport country of the U.S, this was interesting insight to get first hand indeed.
