Heh, no doubt.

I'm an American, though. At least that's what my U.S. passport still says.

However, I think that my "cultural identity", now after almost 4 years living
abroad and working in and visiting 15 (I think) countries, and being
surrounded
abroad by noone US is that I'm either

- "homefull" (my home is everywhere) or
- "homeless" (my home is nowhere)

depending if my psychological glass of water is half full or half empty
that day. (The first is an infinitely more comforting perspective to
get me through lonely days.)
