More from Gordon:

Jerome interviewed by Kyung Lah of CNN/TalkAsia. She lives there too.
This reporter is so into this interview. She gets it too, in her way.

‘Anchors & Reporters– Kyung Lah’

Watch the interview, and listen to both Jerome interviewed and listen to her,
she’s been there since Nov 2007, but pay attention to both.
I know only a little about Kyung Lah, her career via the link below, but I
guarantee you, she is impressed by Jerome, she knows what it takes. Also,
guarantee you, regarding Enka, Jero-san is the real deal.

What if, one future day, my American Chinese-born daughters may one day wish to
move back to China for awhile as 20somethings? Will they be able to do well
enough as does Kyung Lah in Tokyo? She hasn’t finished her 2nd year yet. He’s
been there longer. Both receive their set of complexities. What might it be like
for my Daughters, if&when?
Can they be themselves and let it flow as does Jerome? He has peace.
What works is making friends, a kindred spirit or 2, happens when it happens,
then it might become home. Life is short, go when youngish.

Check out Jerome’s path, besides his whole life, his way of easing into it all–
Desire to be there.Connected,language study.Picturing it in his head.
Age 15– 2week trip
College exchange student, 3month stay.
Graduated, skills in his major, researched his job, moved there, ready to get
through the early weeks&months. Had a headache from thinking in Japanese for a
few initial weeks. Ha! He’s cool.

Please always respect Adult Adoptees from Western nations that have moved
overseas to birthcultures, to study,live&work there. Much respect to you all,
those of IAT, those one can follow via the web.
