Yes i do. I just feel so weired that i lived in the USA longer than my birth place, Shanghai. In the eye of Shanghainese, i am a Hong Konger. In the eyes of Hong Kong People, i am from China and never be part of them, even i own the citizenship in HK and speak fluent Cantonese, still i am not one of them. And in the eyes of Americans, i am always be a foreigner. Sometime i feel frustrated , i don't know where i belong to.

Yes, i think most of us living abroad share the same feeling that is lack of belonging. Even we speak the language, make friends with the locals, eat their food, dress like them, and watch their TV, but deed down we are still lack of something. I don't want whether we will go back China in future, since my baby is born in here, and the Education system is too competitive in China. I want her to enjoy her childhood life : )
where do we belong... and what have we been doing... how can we be strong.. and why this world so cruel and cold... i think of all these answers... which could be all wrong....

I just try and see. I know it is hard for parents to push it. I meet some ABCs starts to learn Chinese when attending graduate school, by that time they understand no matter what they did they are still Chinese.
I have two cousins they are both born in the US. When we were kids, they alway said they are different from me, they are Americans. Recently, one of them tells me she is Chinese. I think after so many years, she finds out no matter what she is still a Chinese and that is her root.

Hoho, you have been here longer that me. Both of me and my LG don't like drinking, we love to stay at home playing with my baby and watch TV. So boring.

HK is always changing... every year when I go back, things, places, all change.... Not because I am here for too long, it's because I cannot get used to "home" anymore...

one thing I do like about US more than HK is the deal culture, and free gift with purchases, and no hassle return policy!!!
