Re: Migeru and me -- A recapitulation of 2005 (none / 0)

Where in California did you live? I see you call yourself a refugee :)!! Are you one of the people who fled from Bush and Co.?

Yes, I do struggle with identity crisis here and there. I miss the Californians' open mind and friendliness... it's a lot tougher in London to meet others.

This move was not quite a return to my homeland, just to the continent... which still makes me a foreigner but at least allows me to enjoy the good things Europe has to offer.

I look forward to your contributions to the discussions we have on ex-pat identity.

Yes... what is it that DoDo calls us? Apatriots? Anational? Or I think that last one was yours.

I only dare to tag myself apatriot :-)

I grew up in Southern California (mostly in the Balboa Island, Corona Del Mar, Laguna Beach area...back in the 60s when there were beautiful empty rolling hills...)

Then I lived the last 25+ years in San Francisco and Marin. I moved to Switzerland when I married Lil...one of us had to choose...I lost/won. I'm mostly really enjoying it here, though the employment piece has been a real challenge...though this is slowly developing.

How did you end up in California anyway...and especially Riverside, of all places, Barbara??
