If you spend a lot of time someplace, it feels more comfortable and leaving it is sad. We lived in a small town on the other side of the city, and it wasn't where we wanted to be. It sounds like you have found a place you want to be, but if your life changed, and you moved somewhere else, in time, that would be home.<BR/><BR/>But why mess with a good thing.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33774292.post-86229996408911371602007-11-03T22:54:00.000-04:002007-11-03T22:54:00.000-04:00I feel the need to travel east so I can make a sim...I feel the need to travel east so I can make a similar comparison.

My aunt visited me once here, and said she felt totally claustorphobic (claustrophobic?) and was upset that she couldn't see where gas stations and McDonalds were. <BR/>I have many of the same favorites you do, but I think that I've decided that I like the West better.Laurenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13958336198132231990noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33774292.post-82838118073224724792007-11-03T21:21:00.000-04:002007-11-03T21:21:00.000-04:00You did a great job.

Mind you that was back in 1986 :-)<BR/><BR/>I have never lived outside the area of the city that I was born. The farthest away would be 100kms. I live now 10 minutes from 2 cities and 1 town. I have always wanted to experience what it would be like to live in another country. I know a few people who have done such an adventure and really liked the experience.<BR/><BR/>I work with many people who come from other countries. The stories they tell you are so cool that you just want to go see the places for yourself. One of the guys at work goes back to Ghana in Africa for the winter, as that is where he is from. I always joke that I will join him one winter. That would be so cool!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
