I disagree regarding belonging, I certainly feel I belong here (at least in my village). When I once mentioned to the village headman that I needed to extend my visa he was quite shocked, "You're one of us, you've been here 20 years, why do you need a visa"? When in addition I told him about the 90 day rule he shook his head in disbelief. When my missus turns up for a funeral without me it's immediately questioned and I have to show up to pay my respects. They even tried to put me on the board regarding the money collections by the monks at the village temple, which I refused and I'm usually thrust forward along with the headman to greet government dignitaries. So yes I feel at home here.
