Its a global world, oh “worldtraveler” :)
Having grown up in an expat society, to me it seems perfectly normal to find Germans in Panama. Or Britons in Taiwan (another channel), or South Africans in China, or formerly so (another channel). And expats are, generally speaking, a very curious and talented lot.
No question about that.
My only point to make is that we are now in a video version of Chinese whispers, because not even a "curious and talented" expat such as more than one of us might try to argue, is any of the video "testimony" first-person stuff. Add to this, the rapid development of LLMs and CGI suggest that shortly we can create "content." Or maybe we're there already?
By the way, I count you one of the worldtravlers for such as you have said of yourself. Me, the "once upon a time" is the more informative part of my adventure now slowing down. Decrepitude slowly comes. Fine poem from Goethe about that.
