Although I was only in Holland I remember the feeling of “I’m still here”. And also the relative freedom of being away from my home culture, if just a short distance. I can imagine it’s quite a bit to be getting your head around, especially the climate. Do you feel you’ve adapted yet?

You’ll not want to leave when the time comes though, or will be sad at the prospect I’m sure.

I find living somewhere else is not just an interaction with a new culture but a freedom from the old. I think poets and other artists are people who manage to avoid parroting the “sayings of the tribe” and can read between the lines instead. I think being out of the culture into which one was socialized gives some access to some kind of similar space.
