little did i know that coming home to South Africa after living in Georgia the former soviet state. I realized how alike we are all as a global family. The way to do things, the way we express emotions and the way we take ourselves so seriously.
Growing up in South Africa was totally great and living in a foreign country felt strangely normal and this got me to think deeply about where my home is? whenever people asked me where home was? i often said 'South Africa off course' in some cases 'Durban'.. But is that really true? living as somewhat of an undiagnosed or undefined expat, i must say that home is where you find yourself in the world.
I recently asked a mate this same question; who's living and working in Korea - the west-friendly one. And he said 'Durban', when his parents are and where is shit goes down and loses his mind or runs out of money he can always go back to home with free housing and food from mom and dad. Well i then asked him what if his parents sell the house and move to a foreign country, where is home then?
Well i haven't heard from him so i wait to hear what his response will be.
And so I ASK YOU READER WHERE IS YOUR HOME?
