My History: Thucydides Style

According to his birth certificate Brian Liu Cadden was born on October 4th 1994 at 03:63 PM to parents named Stephen Patrick Cadden and Wen Min Cadden. He was born in Baltimore Maryland in the GBMC hospital. The document is certified by the Maryland department of health and mental hygiene. He weighed 7 pounds and 4 ounces. This is his life.

Brian and his parents lived in Maryland until barely a month after he was born when his father received a job off for a job in New Jersey. The Cadden family moved to New Jersey in the winter of 1994. 2 years later Brian’s sister was born. She was named Erin Min Cadden. The Cadden family lived in New Jersey until 1999. In 1999 Brian’s father received a job offer to work in London U.K. The Cadden family moved to the United Kingdom in August of 1999. A visa in Brian’s passport signed by British custom officials proves this. In London Brian went 1 year to St. James public school and 2 years to the American Community School. They lived in Surrey in a house called Venabu. While living in England the family visited many places in Europe and England.

In 2002 Brian’s father received a job offer to work in Oslo Norway. So, the Cadden family moved to Oslo. In Oslo they lived at Furutoppen 2A. Brian and his sister attended Oslo International School. In Norway they learned to Ski and met many people although the family never did learn to speak proper Norwegian. They left the country after 3 years after Brian’s father took a job in South Korea.

According to a visa in an old passport Brian first entered South Korea in June of 2006. The family lived in the capital city Seoul in a neighborhood called U.N village. The neighborhood consisted of many expatriates living in Korea and a few rich Koreans. In Korea Brian and his sister attended Seoul Foreign School. They kept up with their skiing and from Korea visited various countries in Asia.

Brian and his family lived in Korea for 2 years. After his Father’s contract was finished he chose to take a job back in Oslo. And so the family moved back to Oslo yet again. They lived in a new house, Furulundsvein 1C and they went to the same school. Brian met many of his old friends from before and made new ones.
