One of the most common questions I received while visiting home was "how does it feel to be home?" At first I found myself giving a reflex answer such as "oh, its great, its so good to be home." And indeed, in many ways, it was good to be home. However, there was a flip side to that coin for me. Someone once told me(someone who has lived abroad) that the longer I live away from Minnesota the less it will feel home. To some degree I felt like a foreigner in my homeland.
