Since the “first impression” we found a place to live, moved in, opened all our boxes and hanged all the pictures on the wall. So I was busy to make myself feel at home! Does it feel like home though?
When you arrive in Singapore, it doesn't take you long to understand that there is a thick line between a local and an expat. There is expat malls, supper markets, restaurants, bakeries...name it you will be spoiled by choices. It is even glorious to be a foreigner! There is no pressure to get you localised nor to send you back.
For me it feels more like a summer holiday home. Where it is a home but only for a limited time so you don't spread your life all over the place. You will find new friends but you know that you have the pleasure of playing with them only for a short period of time.
When I was a kid I moved with my parents a few times and I learned that home is not where I was born nor grow up. It was where I was most loved!
