Wikipedia's Expatriate Entry needs some updating. Frankly, it looks like it's been written by a bitter wannabe. Anyone else heard of a TCK or an ATCK before?
I decided it's too big a job for me to do tonight, so while I mull it over, anyone got any input? Or want to take a stab at it themselves?
I would demote all that "When I was" and TCK stuff to an afterthought, add something about culture shock, dual citizenship + and -, repatriation and reverse culture shock, and most definitely websites including most prominently a link to Britnet (and maybe some other sites).
I would completely delete all that "Westerners in Non-western countries" BS -which particular planet was the original author expatriated to, I wonder?
Any thoughts?
