China sought to use the name of its legendary philosopher to project the image of honesty and morality. However, let' take a look at how education has been used by the Chinese Communist Party as a dividing line to separate and control the thinking of freethinking societies.

So let me explain why I say being black in Asia isn't for the weak-minded and why we all have a part to play to make situations better for not only ourselves but for others as well. 4S1F Social Media Links Facebook: The Expats Roundtable Twitter: Follow @4seas1family Youtube: Four Seas One Family THANK YOU FOR LISTENING TO THIS EPISODE!

Recently, I’ve been taking deep dives into how certain events in the world are being reflected here on-line along with how some foreign nationals observe the events they see taking place around them in their host nation. Let’s take a look at how and why some foreign nationals adopt, and in some cases promote, the ideologies of their host nation that later trigger negative opinions and cause personal losses.

It looks like the landlord pulled a fast one on us and now we, along with other companies and occupants on our floor, have to move and find new locations to engage with our customers and continue our businesses. Over these past few weeks we were put in situations where we had to think fast and prioritize the things we needed to do to keep our business alive. Anyway, we were able to find a silver lining through this fog and keep moving in a positive direction which will also give us the opportunity to further improve the quality of the content we currently produce and develop future projects. Starting in May, here are a number of changes to look for. New Studio: We are currently building a new studio specifically designed to allow us to expand and improve our current and future content. Youtube Channel: We will also engage more aggressively on YouTube. We will be producing both recorded and live YouTube streams and allow “call-ins” from our audience. Taiwan Focused Programming: We have also developed a Taiwan focused YouTube and Facebook program that will be live streamed and deal specifically with issues foreign nationals face while residing in Taiwan. The life streams will be co-hosted with another fellow long-term foreign national living in Taipei and also allow vetted “call-ins” via tools like Skype, Zoom or Facebook. Recalibrate Format: More importantly, we have decided to recalibrate the content we produce to put a laser focus on issues that create irregularities between not only nations, but also the way people of the world perceive and decode events that affect us locally and globally. These changes will take place immediately and we are looking forward to receiving your comments and ideas on the issues you would like us to investigate. THANK YOU FOR LISTENING TO THIS EPISODE!

After the terrible event that took part in Christchurch, New Zealand, I have been getting messages from people from different parts of North America asking me questions about how safe it is to live in certain nations, particularly Taiwan. These messages are from people who are citizens in North America and who are thinking about moving abroad to pursue their aspirations. A few, and I’m not surprised, have admitted that they are hoping to do so because they feel uncertain about their security in their own home nation. I found myself unable to articulate or formulate catch all phrases that would allow them to feel that living or at the very least traveling overseas can bring more of a positive experience. Of course, this can only happen if people allow themselves to integrate and accept parts of the culture they’ll be living in. To share and get some personal insight on what took place in Christchurch, I called up a friend from New Zealand who is living in Taiwan for an impromptu interview to get his insights on the event that took place in his home nation. This friend was gracious enough to talk to me without hesitation via his cell phone and I thank him very much for taking the time out of his day to chat with me. I maintain resolute in my determination to prove that people have a lot more in common than they think. Social Media Links Facebook: Sean Kaiteri THANK YOU FOR LISTENING TO THIS EPISODE!

While engaged in this interview, I found myself having to mute my “American pride” because I soon discovered how important it is to listen carefully to a guest’s interpretation of their host nation because they may bring out logical view points and fair reasoning in ways never thought of. From the UK and now living in Hong, Kong, China, Jamie Cawley is a teacher and author of books that cover an extensive panorama of occurrences that lead to the building of several nation’s culture, wealth, governing and / or political systems. After many years working in Europe in the same job and traveling all over the world for over 25 years, Jamie, along with his wife, decided that they needed a change. They decided to embark on a new life journey with their young children and believe me they sure did! Let’s learn more about Jamie’s books while he shares his viewpoints on topics that relate to how nations interact with each other but with particular focus on China. Jamie is able to make comparisons and present his view points in a calm way that shows there are many interpretations of an overseas experience that are logical and may not sound flattering to some ears. In this case, Jamie offers his anecdotal insight on the current relationship between the West in general as it pertains to China in particular. Hear his reasons why certain individuals, particularly in the West, often point out or stress that their nation’s internal problems were created by others rather than themselves. This episode offers a pathway into explaining why events that are currently taking place between the US and China may not be all that coincidental. Also, listen to why Jamie feels that being patient is the key to understanding and making it through an overseas experience.

It can be challenging connecting with people located in different parts of the world and in different time zones, but to me and the fine people I’ve been lucky enough and, frankly, honored to speak with it’s more important that we share stories others can relate to. Giving a personal view into the lives of others who are seeing the world from a different “focal length” or mindset opens doors to better understandings of the differences as well as the commonalities we all share. Amy Brown is an American expat from Evanston, Illinois and she joined us this episode from Lima, Peru. Hear how Amy met and married a Peruvian military officer and how they are now raising their two wonderful children. Listen to why, for people who have started a family after living abroad for an extended amount of time, returning home may not be a simple choice. Amy brings up some very honest points as to why it would be very difficult for her to move her family to the States because to members of her family “home” has a very different meaning. === Attention === This episode was recorded at the end of 2018. However, because of connection issues, much of the interview became distorted or scrambled beyond repair so I had to do a deep dive into repairing and salvaging this recording so that I could bring to you this wonderful discussion I had with Amy.

This episode we welcome, Charu Pathni, an Indian expat living and working for a major car manufacturer in Germany. Charu is a very focused and energetic lady who has not only persevered, but also surpassed traditional roles held for women from her home nation. Even though she hasn’t lived in every part of the world, Charu calls herself a world citizen because, in her words, “People are people and it doesn’t really matter where I come from or where my roots are from. Home is just where I can feel comfortable with the people around”. Because of her optimistic and positive approach to living in her host nation, Charu’s overseas experience has allowed her to learn that she is a lot more adaptable than she thinks.

In many ways, traveling anywhere alone can not only help a person build a clearer or more in-depth understanding of oneself, but also the world around them from a perspective that wouldn’t have been obtainable while in ones home nation. So traveling abroad with a life-long partner can offer the same elements, but on a level that has twice the impact, exploration and memories. This episode we sit down for chat with two British expats now living in the land of the Toronto Maple Leafs. That’s right, I’m talking about the great White North, and polite Northern neighbor, Canada. Emma and Stewart are Londoners who join us to share their experience living and integrating in the Canadian workforce. Hear why they decided to head abroad before, in their words, “It’s too late”. Even though this wonderful couple is currently living in a host nation that has many of the same local habits, customs and utilizes the same language as their home nation. Hear how they describe the differences between their home and host nation while, at the same time, adjusting to terms used in their normal communications.

This episode we welcome, Nicole Palazzo. Nicole is an American expat living in Europe who is also an active podcaster. Nicole points out that from her location abroad it can sometimes be strange or even stressful for her to miss things from her home nation that she normally wouldn’t pay much attention to while living in her home nation. Her comment brings out a point that living outside ones home nation can in many ways bring a person closer to the things he or she once overlooked or took for granted while living in their home nation. This is why some people who live outside their home nation try to look for or attempt to make a correlation between parts of other cultures that could be equivocated to elements or parts of their own culture. Now the truth is, most of the time, a cultural correlation may never be found. The only logical thing to do, in this case, is to learn how to except an overseas experience from the viewpoint of the people and culture it originated from.

There are many different reasons why people of all ages and personality types take the plunge to explore living abroad. Their explorations may take them to places that are not only far from their home nation and the people they love , but also lead them to unforgettable and priceless experiences that they will cherish until the day they have to leave this pale blue dot in space.

Today we speak to a wonderful latina American binational who has extensive experience in media with particular expertise in creating content for the television market. Natalia Mejia, an American citizen born in México and a UCLA graduate, shares her story and unique perspective of not only what brought her to the United States , but also her personal relationships with her friends and family on both sides of the US-Mexican border. Take a glimpse into how her background has given her the ability to adapt, learn and develop a global and comprehensive perspective of the world which in many ways has allowed her to use her art to express many of the current events affecting the relationships between people on both sides of the line separating the two nations that she calls home.

No one has a total grip on events in their life that will direct them to the goals they forecast and hope to later achieve. Sometimes, being at the right place at the right time can be a blind gift that points a person in directions he or she may have never dreamt of. This episode I am happy to sit down in the Taipei studio with someone who was originally based in Korea and trained as a US military linguist who eventually followed his broadcasting aspirations at ICRT, a popular radio station in Taiwan, which allowed him to not only become a well known public figure, but also a local media standout. We welcome this episode a native of Texas, Rick Monday. Rick is an emerging playwright and broadcaster who has been recognized and awarded for his contribution to radio broadcasting in his adopted home. Join us as we follow Rick down memory lane while, at the same time, taking a peek into his thoughts concerning the power and influence of the media. Rick is a good example of an expat / immigrant who thought he or she would be in a host nation for only 2 years. Well, that is what Rick thought when he first arrived in his host nation over 34 years ago!

While living outside of your home nation, regardless of the reason why, you may one day find yourself looking for ways to remain functional, creative and useful. Because of this fact, and to get the most out of your overseas experience, it becomes of the upmost importance to prioritize the elements that make up your overseas life. Choices have to be found and then executed that will allow you to sift through elements that are weighing you down and preventing you from learning and enjoying your life abroad. I am fortunate to have the opportunity to sit down in our Taipei studio for a chat with a fellow expat / immigrant who has found her unique and fruitful path overseas. Overtime, this has allowed her to remain positively and objectively active and in some ways innovative. This episode, I'm so lucky to be able to welcome Jun Lee to the show. Jun is a creative artist, dancer, yoga instructor and restaurant entrepreneur. With roots here in Asia, Jun sits down with me to discuss the steps she has taken to overcome obstacles while living abroad and how she is striving to maintain a healthy lifestyle.

Before traveling or living overseas, many foreign nationals mindset carries a perception that their home nation encompasses all the best things and conveniences in life. Sometimes, however, this isn't the case. In some second and third world nations many foreign nationals quickly discover that their second or third world host nation, regardless of their social and political values, are doing some things that far exceeds the ways things are done in their home nation and today this episode we have an example of this. Also, it is rare for me to come across foreign nationals overseas who also happen to be podcasters. This episode I am fortunate to have the opportunity to chat with one about his life overseas. Today we welcome Fraser Du Toit on the show. Fraser is also located in the same part of the world I am in. However, we will be placing stress more on the part of the world he is in.

As an educator in Taiwan I get to interact with a lot of friends and students from different backgrounds. Many of them go abroad for business, to sightsee or continue their education. A few of them have even decided to permanently live abroad to start a new life chapter. They obtained, both positive and negative, real-time life experiences using their second or sometimes third language to build relationships and pursue their dreams or goals. I’m fortunate to have one of my former students, Peggy Lee, who now resides in North America, Canada to be exact, in my Taiwan studio. She's here to share with us her experiences of living overseas in a very different culture as an immigrant and how her intensive English language training and formal Taiwanese education prepared her in many expected and unexpected ways.

We are happy to sit down for a chat with a German expat world traveler who is at the time of this episode residing in the United States. Katharina Von Knobloch, who has vast experience in the corporate world as a marketing and business development manager, spends time with us from Chicago, Illinois to talk about her travels around the world both alone and with her husband. When people see Katharina traveling alone, they often ask her why she is traveling without her partner. This type of question is perplexing to her because men who travel alone are almost never asked this type of question. Could there be a bit of travel inequality that exists and if so why? Katharina is also a champion at helping women who travel with a partner find meaning in their lives. She helps women gain courage and find benefits while on their overseas journey whether they are raising a family or seeking a career.

Get ready to join us for a ride as we listen to the journey of an expat / immigrant from Melbourne, Australia who is now living in Vienna, Austria. Hear how Carly Hulls, upon being offered a dream job overseas, as well as taking a chance after “meeting an Austrian boy”, decided to pack up all her stuff in one backpack to embark on a new life chapter. Carly shares with us her story of living abroad as a foreign national who is very aware of not only her own overseas status, but also the status of others like her who are seeking a life in a new home nation. Carly is very aware of the negative issues certain foreign nationals are facing in her host nation and she isn’t shy about speaking up. All at the same time, she points out how important it is to not have expectations of how life abroad should be as compared to life in one’s home nation. At this point, you have to agree that her story sounds both brave and romantic. After listening to Carly’s story you will agree that the Kardashians can’t match her swagger!

Feeling intrigued about life overseas can be a catalyst for some people when deciding to pick up everything in their familiar environment to move on for a life abroad. This fact, combined with the need to find something meaningful in life, can point someone in a direction that previously wouldn’t have been a topic of consideration. This episode I sit down for chat with Holly Kooi. Holly is an American happily living overseas with her husband in Vienna, Austria. Tune in to learn how this wonderful woman from Atlanta ended up in Vienna and, upon arrival, soon was forced to deal with and overcome personal transitional issues that nearly broke her. In the end, Holly, keeping with her faith, may have been blessed with the exact timing that allowed her and her family to expand their horizons abroad.
