I Am the Product of Globalization...

I am the product of Globalization… Made in Thailand (middle of the jungle in a refugee camp). Just like my little Peris car, where it engine is from Japan, my roots are from Cambodia and Vietnam. Just like my favorite purse, which is made in Central America; I worked, lived, traveled and gave back in Costa Rica and Panama. I love to wear my favorite boots that are made from Switzerland, which reminds me of the time I attended a United Nation meeting, while interned with the UNHCR in Geneva. When I put on my favorite shirt and/or pant, the tag said, “Made in Indonesian or Malaysia.” When I Skype with my grandmother, I remember the amazing time that we spent together in Cambodia and Vietnam. Last but not least, a place I call home and where I grew up is, America. The ironic thing is that I am currently living in America, yet I still drive my Peris, wear my shirt, pant, and boots that are made overseas, just like me! I am the product of globalization.
