[Talk] alienation

[areleemama (AL)]

Are most of the people in this board feel the same thing as I do?
Do you ever feel being alienated to the surrounding of your environment to a
point which you don't really know where you belong to?

I was born in Taiwan and grew up in a foreign land called North America.
Even though I speak Caucasions' language but I don't feel NA is my home,
and neither is Taiwan.

Asia is much more interesting and more convenient than NA,
but I have no friends here,

I feel completely being alienated :(
not because Taiwanese people descrimated against me, but I never attend schools
in Taiwan....therefore it's hard for me to make friends..

In fact, I think Taiwanese people are tend to be more enthusisatic than NA...

Well, just curious, how do you guys who have the same background as me
deal with this kind of problem?
