September 1st beckons memories of what it was like to be a Chinese kid figuring out the Canadian education system in the 90s. That's my old school, Simon Fraser Junior High in Calgary. senzhan.substack.com/p/navig…

Catching up on the Twitter game! Who should I follow in the Third Culture / Asian Diaspora / Cultural Legacy domains?
