Guest Deb62 Posted December 12, 2008 Share Posted December 12, 2008 Hi Mc aka UK Kid; The whole idea of 'home' is an interesting one. I'm English born and bred, lived in Brisbane for nearly 10 years, and have lived back in the UK for abot the same. Now I'm trying to get back to Oz. I have duel nationality and an Australian husband, and kids born in both countries. What does that make me? Where do my loyalties lie? Who do I support in an Ashes series? Lol! It can all be pretty confusing. I genuinely feel after living in both places that I belong to both. I am English. I will never stop feeling I am English I don't think. But there is also a part of me that feels Australian too. There is absolutely nothing that says you have to love one more than the other or feel a particular way. Hope you have a great time when you come back for a couple of months, Deb:smilexmas: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Petals Posted December 19, 2008 Share Posted December 19, 2008 I guess when we are younger we think our mum's place is home and now I am a mum my place must be home wherever it is. I will always be English but home is where we are living, the place I go to each day where my familiar things are around me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest JoanneHattersley Posted December 19, 2008 Share Posted December 19, 2008 I look at "home" as where i am now. Living in Oz, happy as a pig in muck and VERY settled. The UK is no longer home. I call it "where i was born and the place I used to live" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Barry7 Posted December 19, 2008 Share Posted December 19, 2008 I spent the first 23 years of my life in England. I have now spent 39 years in Australia. I no longer feel 'English' in fact I consider myself to be an Australian but I still maintain a pride in my heritage. I have no feelings for the old country whatsoever and miss absolutely nothing, but that comes to some who have been here most of their lives. I have friends here who have been here for over 30 years and they refuse to take out Aussie citizenship, their attitude is "I was born English and I'll die English". Good luck to them, each to his/her own and if it's what makes you happy then it's all OK. I tell them jokingly, "Jesus was born in a stable, it didn't make him a bloody horse". Just remember mate, if you want to live your dream of being a police officer you MUST take out Australian citizenship. I Nsuppose it's all about getting used to a different lifestyle from the one you are used to, I heard this story about 'Lifestyle' a few years ago. An English backpacker was walking through the Simpson Desert, 1000 sq ks from any civilisation. All of a sudden he came across an Aboriginal man sitting outside a humpy, roasting a Goanna over an open fire. He approached the Koori and said "Hi, Mate I'm flabergasted, it's 120 degrees, 90 percent humidity, no houses, pubs, shops, people or transport for thousands of square kilometres, no sewerage, electricity or water, thousands of ks from any form of civilisation, why do you live here"? The Koori looked at him, smiled and said "Lifestyle mate, the bloody Lifestyle'. :wink: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
