I wonder what that exactly means?

"Home is where the heart is "

Do it doesn't matter if you grew up in Bradford, London , Alice Springs, Texas ...

Where is your heart

Home IS where your heart is. If you're anywhere besides where you grew up, does if feel like home or do you feel like an outsider? I've always felt like i don't belong in Thailand, even though I've had some very good times here, with my ex and girlfriend. Every time I visited Texas, I felt like I was home. I still miss New Jersey where I was born, and was in Texas 2 more years than New Jersey, but the cold too long deal got old, so Texas has been home since, and still is, and will soon be again. My heart is still partly in New Jersey, but Texas is a better place for my daughter and I, and I can always drive to New Jersey to visit family, friends, and hunt and fish yearly while I'm back in Texas. Thailand doesn't even enter in the running against those two.

Soi 6 Patts for you then!

Mine is in Thailand and yes it does feel like home to me.

Mine is in Thailand, Chonburi infact.

Georgeenta, just replace "heart" with "tart" and you will have your research well sorted for most of the mugs on this forum.

Please explain Gofree, in commoners speak, English even!

PKK, the only place that ever felt like home. Only house built that I'm living in, that I knew wasn't a temporary residence till I moved again, when it was built.

Every other property I owned or rented, I knew at the time, it was just a temporary place to live. Never going to be a home.

Nothing for me, in the town I was raised at, same house for 20 year, and actually the 1st house I bought. Bought as an investment, never planning to live there longer than needed.

Nothing in my hometown, county, state, that I want to go back to. Pennsylvania is a great place to live, but not for me.

Yes Thailand suited me fine for getting on (almost ) two decades, while I was fit and younger,while the exchange was wonderful,while cheap flights were the norm,while the ongoing mess of visas becoming an ever growing problem,housing snatch backs being undertaken through nominated Thais, confusing banking laws ,medical expenses yakity- yack

The yearly visa is a target Thai immigration will be looking at next,65000 Baht a month is a bargain in anyone's language. Its not what Thai immigration are doing right now,its what they can employ, Like skating on thin ice

Remember Goa in its hey day,loads of Brits/Europeans buying Housing,condos etc., the lot cleared out in less than two years

Is that you looking fabulous Boyeee Georgie?

I see you're wearing your pink safety panties today.

I feel at home when taxi leaves the airport and travels on the expressway into Bangkok.

I still have a family home in BC that I built with my own hands. For many decades, it was the centre of the universe. I'll probably never go there again, it's the next generation's responsibility now. I'm not capable of the maintenance. Son lives in PA, that's not home. Early years in NJ, teenager in NYC, thoroughly enjoyed Santa Cruz life for years. But none of them are home.

When I'm there, so much has changed, I'm just a tourist. I went back every year for 30 years while Mum was alive. I used to enjoy shopping at the big discount emporia, and wonderful, exciting thrift stores. There was so much I couldn't get here. Three heavy suitcases every year.

Today, there's rarely anything I can't get here. Thai Customs these days is worrisome but I haven't tried Amazon yet. iHerb comes reliably.

Anything else, I have my son post to me here.

We have no hearth in Thailand, of course, not even a fake fireplace! But my heart is here. Bangkok love it/hate it.

Don't feel bad. I think Boy George is just a bit mopped off that we discovered the nickname they call him by when he's at work.

I lived in 7 states and one foreign country before I graduated from high school. So for me, it has always been "home is where I hang my hat."

First, you seem to have problem yourself, as you are mentioning somebody that does not exist. I presume it´s late in life and the mind is not working as before, right?

You just asked for an explanation, which directly put you in the same box as George. So, I guess there is no help for you either.

My home — and my heart — has been several place; today it is in 'paradise', which not so bad a place to have one's home...
