cozypaper I'm a Korean, heritage-wise. I was born and raised in Korea until I was 14.5 years old, then my family moved to the U.S. Culturally, I don't consider myself as a Korean. I'm just... me? xd I speak the language every day at home, but my values and mannerisms are very atypical of a Korean. Even when I was living in Korea, I always felt that I didn't belong (which I didn't mind -- I felt unique, and I liked it that way). Not that I act like a typical American... but what is America if not a gigantic salad bowl of cultures? Hmmm, well, true about America. You'd find at least one of each culture in the whole of the US. I never really lived in Korea, I was born there, but I've only lived about... 2(-3?) years there (including my one year stay last year for "experiencing" wink , I've lived one year in the Philipines. And it's the year 2008, and we came to New Zealand in 1994, so... it's been 14 years since we arrived. 14 of my 16 (once July comes and goes) have been in New Zealand, so I don't really think too much about my heirtage anymore. Even if we speak Korean and eat Korean. I find english easier than korean now (even though it's rusted a bit for speaking broken english for a whole year). @O-mie: Hope you get better soon~ heart |
