Ging's incredible journey spanned across four cultures in three continents which transformed her from a naive third-world creature to someone who lives in more than one world at the same time.
As a child in the Philippines, she was always curious about the "peculiar" things in far-away lands across seas. A couple of decades later, she got married to a Brit and moved to this fairy-tale nation called the United Kingdom.
Suddenly, cultural differences became real and everything became abnormal. The familiar life she knew vanished, her beliefs questioned and her world of truths became false. Her day-to-day life was sometimes unbearable - all because she lived in a foreign country.
Determined to crush the barriers of her new world, Ging embarked on an extraordinary exploration to understand the new culture she is in and to understand her new self in her new world. Years later, Ging is happy at home..... in the United Kingdom.
Let this book accompany you through your own new worlds.
