On Being Foreign

A commenter on another expat blog, pointed out this article from a couple of weeks ago in The Economist:
The funny thing is, with the passage of time, something does happen to long-term foreigners which makes them more like real exiles, and they do not like it at all. The homeland which they left behind changes. The culture, the politics and their old friends all change, die, forget them. They come to feel that they are foreigners even when visiting “home”.
I know I feel like a foreigner now visiting the UK :-(
