For those of you who are in the States or... in a country that you are not born in... have you ever considered where you are currently living "home"?
For me, I guess I am quite adaptable in that I can pretty much go anywhere and settle down and consider that place my home. I guess I can be classified as a settler... but the truth is I don't like changes either. There is a certain security about status quo.
What would you do if you don't think of your home "home" and always have the desire to go "home"? What really make a home "home"? What makes you belong to a place, a city, or a country?

Thoughts, random thoughts mostly. I guess it's a good idea that I write them down. Just in case...

wow, this is a deep one....
er... i mean, for sure HK is my home home... but at the same time i consider US as my 2nd home - Boise as my hometown (in the States)....
i guess one consider "home" when part of him/her "build up" from the place called "home" - like some significant yrs you've spent in that particular place which makes part of you?
i don't like to change (too often) but at the same time staying in one place too long (like now, > 5 yrs) kinda make me sick too - even though i'm "home"... er.. does it make any sense?!
I come to realize that it's the people that make a place home. Don't you agree?
i live in an apt, not really considered my home. once you obtain certain residential status in the country where you are currently living, you may re-analyze your thinking/feeling. if you always have the desire to go "home - place where you can find your root", then take a month long vacation, and go back 'home' and find out your true feeling. who did it? oh ... i did it in Dec last year ... and u are meeting with your old friends, relatives, family, familiar places, familiar face, etc... try it and you may be able to help search the answer for your question ...
hmm.. i dont' think it's really ONLY the ppl ppl around you to feel home boh........
you are right... it's not just ppl. Like wittybb said... familiar places and physical things that surround you. But I think it's relationships that really tie a person to a place and the place itself to a lesser effect.
