Living in Transition
Jun 28th, 2006 by Lillian
… thats what I don’t want to do. Tonight I really don’t want to go back to Switzerland… even for 6 weeks. Does that make me a bad person? I’ve just got a good thing going on in ‘my’ band and its seems we might even manage to play a whole song and then do some gigs. But I won’t be here !…..anyway. The otherside of it is, I love traveling. I love getting out my ticket and passport. I love the fact that this time next week I’ll be in the land of swatch, chocolate and football fever. I love the fact that I will see my family and friends again. See how much their children have grown and see how fat they have become hahaha.
I’m worried because I don’t transition very well. When I arrive in Switzerland, I will want to be in Thailand, I’ll talk about it all the time and annoy everyone . When I come back, I’ll cry because I had to leave Switzerland and will annoy all my friends here about ‘how we do things in Switzerland’. Oh well.. be warned friends, be warned 
But in both countries it will be WONDERFUL because I have friends who will be happy to see me come and some probably to see me go hahaha

I wouldn’t worry about it, almost every expat seems to go through a similar transition. The fact that you do get through it just makes you a stronger person, and a better traveller!
I couldn’t handle 6 weeks in the USA. I went back for 4 in 2001 and that was 2 too long, so I went back for 2 in 2004 and found it to be about 4 days too long. I didn’t necessarily get back to Germany, but I was dying to get back to Europe.
