TCK

So, the time has come to clear out my facebook profile. Why? Partially because change is good, I get bored of the same things, and that it just seemed like the right thing to do. This has entailed leaving groups, deleting notes, and general maintenance etc.

I left the 'I went to an international school, bitch' group, however this list (redacted Kal version) should read familiar to every TCK out there, enjoy:

1. You can't answer the question: "Where are you from?"
3. You flew before you could walk
7. Your life story uses the phrase "Then we went to..." five times (or six, or seven times...)
8. You speak with authority on the quality of airline travel
12. You don't know where home is
15. You realize it really is a small world, after all
16. You feel that multiple passports would be appropriate
18. Rain on a tile patio - or a tin roof - is one of the most wonderful sounds in the world
25. Your room/apt/living room looks a like a museum with all "exotic" things you have collected
30. It takes 24-36 hours to reach home in a plane
32. You never really use a seatbelt
33. School trips meant going to a different country
52. Once you get home you miss your adopted home and visa versa
53. You are never content in one place, be it city, state or country for long. You're a mover.
64. You and your best friends will always have a unique bond
66. You don't feel at home at home anymore
68. You don't even bother to change your watch when traveling
81. You start to keep your experiences overseas to yourself because most people can't relate
