Well, that was quick! Yes, a quick pit-stop back on the East Coast of the US of A. It was comforting to go back to the States and eat many bagels, pretzels, good Chinese food, and goldfish. I have also brought back with me goldfish, Reese's Peanut Butter Cups, AND pretzels.
Is it also weird being back in London? Yes. Yes because it's odd to feel that a foreign country is now... familiar. Have I started to develop a network here? Yes. In someways I've started to develop a network bigger than I had in New York. And what's wonderful about my *limited* travel experience is even though there are cultural differences (no matter how small), it's nice to encounter people who really do like the same things I like and that we can share a common interest (read: musical theatre).
That said, being in London, as much as I could see myself here - I do feel that New York is my home. London you come in second place. But I've also accepted that no matter WHAT side of the Atlantic I'm on I always have issues and worries going on in my mind so really... no place is perfect. It's just learning to accept and deal with myself that's the real task.
But London has a charm and history that I will always love. And that biting British humor.
I also secretly love that I am considered a "Yank." Because let's face it... I never became patriotic until I left the country I used to feel so un-patriotic about.
