Come back to Afganistan

Where do you "belong"?
Where do you not feel like you "belong," even though it might make sense (geographically, culturally, etc.) for you to do so?
What makes the difference?


Sometimes, I feel that I do not belong anywhere. I came in the U.S. about three years ago. Before, I was in Korea, so I was used to Korean culture. However, when I came to the U.S., I started to learn a new culture. Now, I am used to American food, language, and life style, but I did not grow up here, so I do not know and understand your culture totally. I feel that I am a foreigner. On the other hand, when I went to Korea over the summer vacation, I did not feel that I belonged to that society either. I was used to American culture, so I was disoriented. For example, I am one year behind my old friends, so while they were preparing for the SATs, I had just finished my sophomore year. In addition, if I want to go to the markets in Korea, I can walk. However, in the U.S., I need a ride to go anywhere, but I felt uncomfortable asking for a ride. American and Asian's cultures are totally different, so I feel that I am an alien everywhere.
