"Homes Away from Homes"

In this month's Harvard Magazine (the alumni magazine).

Read. Then go over the paragraphs that made you smile, or bite your lip, again.

http://www.harvardmagazine.com/2007/09/homes-away-from-homes.html

It's about a student forging her new 'home' in her new college house, and building a 'home away from home away from home'... I like.

Ok, I'm super nostalgic right now... especially that the immediate future plans - moving back to France in two weeks -have taken a serious hit. Damn the french government, I so passionately hate this administration!

Anyways. When you're done reading the article, tell me: when things go dark and you 'want to go home', if only in your thoughts.. where is that home exactly?

And did you hesitate, and think a bit before coming up with this answer, or was it immediate, spontaneous?

In the 16 years I spent in the UAE, Alexandria was home, when I got upset at the world I just wanted back to Alex and the comfort of my grandparents house. Now that I've been in Cairo for almost 10 years, I've to admit, when the going gets tough, I wish I was back in that sea-side room in Abu Dhabi (building's probably been ripped down and replaced with something taller, better and more luxurious); and for a second it feels like home.
