Expat Blog Culture Happens Continues Improving

Online, October 19, 2011 (Newswire.com) - Ron VanPeursem is Director of New Business Development for Mea Solutions, Asia Region. VanPeursem has established the new Content Development Center for Mea Solutions, hiring local talent in North India, expanding Mea Solutions' capacity for serving their clients. Bill Webster, Founder and CEO of the company says, "We derived mêa|SOLUTIONS from the Latin "mei solutio" meaning "My Results or My Outcome," and for our clients that means their Solutions, their Needs, their Results... and their Business. For us it is also about managing enterprise architectures through a service-oriented approach. Mea's depth of experience in technology analysis, development, deployment, and outsourcing help a broad range of industries in the domain of healthcare, education, manufacturing, finance, real estate, marketing, and entertainment - to name a few. mêa|SOLUTIONS' varied product development and digital marketing solutions translate into shorter implementation cycles and give you an edge over competition.

VanPeursem is also the author of the blog "Culture Happens." Culture Happens is a blog for expats who are living and working away from home, who desire to truly connect in their new world. VanPeursem says, "Expats, even those that stay for many years in the host country, tend to fall into two categories: those that become insiders in their new community, and those that live as perpetual outsiders. For most, it isn't natural or intuitive to become an insider. It takes real determination and a strategic plan. The articles and posts offered on Culture Happens are for those expats that desire to become insiders, and who are intrigued by the process of change that they are undergoing."

VanPeursem has 25 years of experience living and doing business outside of his home country of the United States. His current location in India provides an excellent environment for continuing to learn about the "journey toward relevance" for expats that long to connect. One of the more valuable aspects of Culture Happens is the way that readers engage in commenting and launching their own conversations. Culture Happens invites this type of interaction as the readership slowly grows.

VanPeursem finds that each day in India provides another learning opportunity. The cultural differences between Asia and the West can really cause misunderstanding, and can even overwhelm some visitors. It is very important for expats to find ways to express their concerns and their struggles, and to find people that understand and have helpful advice. VanPeursem hopes that Culture Happens will continue to be a place that provides intriguing content and supportive conversation for the expat that is really looking for help.
