Right, I do! This third culture was one that evolved around that
closed circle of the Southeast Asian international schools'
community - especially of the International School of Manila. Now
that I've graduated and all my old classmates are scattered around
the world like leaves blown by the wind, I sometimes feel like the
ISM tribe of '94 have been severely decimated by some great disease
driving us into extinction. I can only relate with those Native
Americans who have been unfortunate to have witnessed their own
tribe vanish. C'est la vie, I guess.
