Hi and welcome (back) to the 3rd episode of The Foreigner Experience! In this episode, Lorraine opens up about her expectation vs. reality on her move to Taiwan.
In this second episode of The Foreigner Experience, we are joined by Colleen Yang. From the challenges of finding an apartment to unfair treatment by people (especially ones she least expected such treatment from), Colleen shares her struggles after moving to Taiwan and its affect on her mental health.
Hello friends! Welcome back to FOW — this is the beginning of a few conversations Alice will be having with her friends in Taiwan, who also aren’t from Taiwan. Our special guest for this first episode to kickstart the mini season is Iris Lin, also an ABC, who came to Taiwan with the intention of staying for 1 year, but it's been ~3 years now..and her journey from hating to loving Taiwan.
As promised, here is the second part of our conversation on communication.
Communication is a skill we’ll be learning our whole lives. In this episode, Alice and Evelyn share about how their Asian American background has influenced the way they communicate with some tips and tricks along the way.
With everything going on with Asian Hate Crimes, we wanted to acknowledge the reality of it and provide some resources as well (check out our Instagram @findingourworld_). But we also know there's a lot to it and there's a lot of voices, so we kept it short and sweet.
Here's part 2 of Alice and Evelyn sharing our experiences with asian beauty standards. We kept our word:)
In this episode, we share about the standards of Asian beauty that we're held up to, even as American-born and raised females.
Welcome back to FOW! In this episode we talk about our experiences with food growing up as an Asian American, as well as food's connection with culture.
hi! bringing back the first episode of FOW (due to some technical difficulties, if we're completely honest here). we (Alice and Evelyn) share a little about our background growing up as Asians in the suburbs of LA and our experiences with chinese school.
In this episode, we look back on the many words we've pronounced incorrectly growing up as first-gen Asian Americans.
In this episode, we touch on the terms ABC (American Born Chinese) & FOB (Fresh off the Boat): what these terms mean to us, how we relate, our experiences, etc.
In our second episode we talk about culture shock of moving from America to Taiwan.
