Every Monday on Global Comment, we share Something Special you don’t want to miss. To fit with the six core pillars of the magazine, these will alternate between the themes of watch / listen / read / see / taste / place.
It will be something different every week, but it will always be about something worth seeing, hearing or watching, or a place worth visiting or a food worth tasting.
This week, we’re focused on taste, so this video by Eric Pak is well worth seven minutes of your time:
Cultural identity is a key element in what makes us who we are. But as more people adopt the expat life, their children become exposed to the plethora of cultures that exist in the world, thus muddling their own. However, food is an aspect of cultural identity that follows us wherever we go, which can subsequently establish one’s cultural identity. Eric Pak is a 17 year old, Korean American studying at International school Bangkok. Having been surrounded by many diverse communities, Eric aims to share his vivid experiences through poetry, which he writes in his free time. He is interested in economics and creative writing and wishes to pursue these passions in the future. When he is not studying in his favorite coffee shop, he is either taking a nap or training for cross country.
