Homesick
04.12.2007 20:44
Am actually starting to feel a bit homesick, almost doing the countdown until I can go home. Next Tuesday evening I’ll be back in my beloved Zürich. Three weeks is a long time being away from home.
And perhaps it is like the guidebook says, people are not exactly outgoing and friendly here. Or perhaps it’s because I mix too much with international people, rather than the locals? Heck if I know. Of course, it could also be that I’m less inclined to go out and try. Feel after all my moves that I deserve an easier life with familiar places and people around me. Ah Gad, am I getting old? The horror…
PS. And Aussie girl, before you have a witty remark, try moving as much as I have on your own…but then again, don’t let me stop you from challenging me…;)

'Homesick'
feeling defensive are we? ;)
actually the only comment I was going to make was how its also been my impression that the Spanish arent exactly the most friendly and open to foreigners people I've ever meet. People say the French are snobbish but I reckon they've got nothing on the Spanish. I may have only upheaved my life to a new city 5 times, but I still understand the 'over it' kind of feeling and the attraction of familiar places with familiar faces. 3 weeks is also a kinda annoying amount of time, because its long enough to get homesick and feel lonely but not long enough to get involved in local life and get to know locals.
Not defensive, just a bit lonely.
Yes, you're right about the time. For 3 weeks I can't be bothered to make the effort, so kinda got myself to blame. Nevertheless, it'll be nice getting home.
