Enjoying the foreign,
This review is from: Living on the Edge: Tales of Woodstock School (Paperback)
Living in that third culture that is neither home, whatever home is, nor 'other', whatever that is, is an important 21st century disposition. We do not any longer live locally, nor can we afford to live only in the mall or in the state of jet lag or distracted by the 'virtual'. These tales offer some insight and assistance.
