Hey there… I actually experience the opposite of what Kim feels, only based in the same logic. Indeed, having a “home” is much more of a feeling for me than a location. That said, instead of concluding that I have none, upon reflection, I’ve determined that I have at least four! I don’t worry about throwing around the phrase “going home.” I can be at home in many places in the US, and am definitely at home here in Paris. And I love it.

I arrived back 'home' in SF today from England, laden with creme eggs, Quality Street Eggs (I was tempted cos they are new but they aren't very good), Tetley tea, marmite, strepsils, Resolve, Butterscotch Angel Delight and a million other English food stuffs I imagine I need with me in America. My own Monsieur Grenouille told me - you should read Petite today, she's JUST LIKE YOU! He was extra amused cos I'd already blogged about hot cross buns in my absence...

I’m an Australian who moved to the US for graduate school (I’ve been here for two and a half years now – although I had accumulated nearly two years of visiting before starting my PhD) and I can’t imagine moving back to Australia. Somehow, I just “fit in” here, in a way that I have never fit in in Australia. Which isn’t to say that I fit in completely here – just better than I do in Australia.

Thanks to everyone/anyone who bought Over My Shoulder by I Am Kloot as a result of Petite’s gracious plug earlier in the week. The single entered the chart at number 38!! A big result,

thanks again,

Jim

we change the clocks on the same day as the UK nowadays so nothing complicated – although it used to be about a week out and be rather confusing.

I don’t know whether I’m coming or going though. Back an hour in England. Forward an hour this morning. Forward another hour tomorrow back in France. Grrr.

Do please explain the time changes in England and France over your holiday weekend, which I hope you thoroughly ejoyed, by the way, because I find it a headache to adjust to one change, let alone several.
Thanks, Petite; I enjoy your posts so much, keep on blogging!

I’m an Italian American living in France for a year. Over the last few months I have fully begun to appreciate all three of my countries for many different reasons. I still miss my family and my friends, but now I have twice as many as before. Home is where the heart is (even if it’s rediculouly cliché to say it) and I think having more than one is definately allowed.

Great article petite!! Congrats!! I feel pretty much like you about my life here in France and back “home” in the USA. But the more time I spend here (6 years now), I truly am feeling more at “home” here in France.
