On the way back from Yokohama the other night I came across two new polite behavior encouragement campaign posters by illustrator Akira Yamaguchi that stopped me in my tracks. The iPhone photos I hastily took were too blurry but here are a couple of blog postings on the two I saw:

I just found out about the tckid.com web site, an online community for third culture types, started about a year ago. It looks like the best online resource yet for a growing category of people who have always struggled to maintain social networks. I signed up right away.

My LBI friend Paul Johnson’s Facebook post linking to an article by Ruth E. Van Renken on all the third culture folk in Barack Obama’s emerging administration is what led me to the tckids site.
