Thanks for the feature! :) Cosmopolitan has always struck me as more of a fashion mag than one for the cultured, well traveled woman, so I can't say I paid much attention to the word as well. :S Totally agree! Overseas Asians and an Asian TCKs are quite similar in many respects. The main difference is that TCKs are more transient and thus take in a more cultures than just their family's culture and the country of resident's culture. But even among TCKs that is quite a large difference as everyone reacts to change differently. There are some TCKs who become cultural hermits instead of cosmopolites too. There's a great book on TCKs by David Pollock. Don't mind lending it to you if you're interested! :) Hi Mary!
