So fascinating, another’s view and process of becoming, for want of another word, an expat…when is that moment…for me it was driving around the Colosseum at midnight under a full moon. My native land slipped into second place. Loved this piece so much..
It was similiar but different in Europe. The faces were familiar even if the language wasn't. Greece was the most blendible country. If you spoke a few words of Greeks the Greeks would welcome you into their homes and feed you while introducing their whole family and neighbors. Korea was like Japan, foreigners would always be foreigners. Thailand is half way between; you can come in but the conversation will be superficial. Everywhere there is distrust of foreigners.
