In Chiang Mai!
I am now in Chiang Mai, the city I where I grew up! This will be an interesting part of the journey... I'm not quite done posting about Bangkok (and I do have many more photos; I'm just trying to figure out how to share them), but I'm working on it. I got a bit homesick for PA yesterday, which just goes to show that this "home" business is extremely complicated. I'm loving spending time with my mom though. It's so nice to just do "normal" things, like have a cup of coffee without feeling rushed and OMG THIS WILL BE THE LAST TIME I SEE YOU FOR SIX MONTHS. Because I'll get to see her tomorrow. :)

But soon it won't be like that at all, right? Your parents are coming back for good soon, I thought.
ReplyDelete"Home" is very complicated. I've of the opinion, at least for me, that it's mostly nostalgia. I moved around a lot; never as great distances as you, but I was never in one place for more than 8 years, and whenever I'd go back to a place I was missing as "home," it turned out what I was chasing was more that sense of belonging than of anything to do with a geographical location.
