Bangkok Podcast 28: Expats and Technology

Living overseas can often caust a bit of separation anxiety. You
miss your family, you miss your friends, and pretty soon work,
social life and time zones get in your way. As little as 5 or 6
years ago you were pretty limited to email, but over the past
half-decade, the tools and technology available to expats for
staying in touch with your peeps back home has exploded.


In this episode, Tony and Greg chew the fat on which methods they
use to stay in touch with their families around the world, and
how these various methods can serve not only as a powerful took
to keep you from getting lonely, but also a powerful tool to keep
you close to your culture, as well as help you integrate further
into your adopted society.


From videoclips of newborns sent from cellphone to cellphone to
funerals that are live-streamed around the world, current
technology is something that can be used to make your life
overseas richer and more rewarding than ever before.
