My name is Sam Dixon, an American from the green mountains of Virginia, the blue-collar brawn of Baltimore and the editing desks of Washington, D.C. For the past 25 years, I have lived abroad among the wonderful people of Asia. But there were also catastrophic earthquakes, military coups and near-biblical floods. All was worth it, as I found everlasting love in my wife and our son. From Taiwan’s aborigine villages, mainland China’s whirring factories, the Philippines’ coral beaches, Thailand’s Buddhist temples, and the glittering skyscrapers of Hong Kong, Malaysia and Singapore, I have learned to appreciate cultural diversity. Let me share that with you through my site’s blogs and photographs. https://samdixonkai.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/02/sam-laptop-full.jpgSam laptop fullhttps://samdixonkai.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/sam-precha-red.pngSam precha red... became an editor of business, government and technical documents. 2026-01-12T15:08:39+00:00weekly0.6https://samdixonkai.com/2026/01/12/help-me-and-my-son-stay-together/https://samdixonkai.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/01/1-me-son-shaved-ice-dc.jpg1 Me son shaved ice DC2026-01-12T13:48:22+00:00monthlyhttps://samdixonkai.com/2016/03/09/tossing-coins-of-charity-to-elephant-man-in-d-c-2/2026-01-12T12:08:54+00:00monthlyhttps://samdixonkai.com/culture-camera-2/culture-camera-on-the-usa/https://samdixonkai.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/02/appalachia-helmet-e1455595022615.jpgAppalachia helmetI never did go on to become a professional football player, the dream of many American kids. Perhaps that's because I started out with the helmet on backward. https://samdixonkai.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/02/powell-valley1.jpgPowell ValleyNo matter where you may roam throughout life, only one place is real home.
