*What is the best cure to prejudice, bigotry, and narrow-mindedness?*
*Living abroad.*
*How does one best learn about **one's own** country?*
*By living abroad.*
[Mark Twain]

In this highly globalized world, cultural identity is an important topic. We’ll share with each other insights & perspectives on living abroad, either as new immigrants or temporary expats/students.
We will share individual experiences and pros and cons of living a foreign life, how this shapes one’s cultural identity and how it contributes to building a fruitful life and career.

The hosts of this event are two gentlemen with much experience in foreign cultures and language settings, and will share of what they found meaningful from the experiences -- Turkey, Morocco, EU, Australia, China, Singapore, Malaysia, Japan, Korea, etc. -- along with some PPT slides.

Participants will also have opportunities to share their own experiences as well in navigating diverse cultures and careers.

First half:
Presentation 1 + Q&A
