i guess i never really knew how to feel about returning home. a part of me was expecting to find it v different after the experience of living abroad, but frankly, i didn’t. i settled right back in like a fish in water. and i love being back. in fact, even tho i went half-way across the world to one of the coldest countries in the world, it didn’t feel like it was any different from my own country! apart from the weather, of course. superficially of course there were differences, but fundamentally it was almost as easy to settle in there as it was here. but our level of engagement in oslo life was almost nil, and we kept feeling like outsiders just biding our time before we went home. so i guess it’s not surprising that i’m feeling so glad to be back home. now we can continue with our life where we left off instead of living in limbo just waiting to go home.
