Forgive me for prying, but where is "home"?  I'm guessing this is not a line of inquiry you're wanting to go into.   I suppose I assumed that non-European ethnicities were not so rare in the Russian Far East.  Of course, one can even be in the majority of a local population and still be subjected to all kinds of racism, unfortunately.  

Someone on ET should write a diary on the concept of "home" (where one is from  or currently lives v. where one feels a sense of belonging, etc.).  Seems to be a theme around here.
