WHY YA'LL LEAVING ME SO MANY QUESTIONS/PROMPTS, HOW CAN I WRITE ALL THIS AND NOT TURN IT INTO A NOVEL man i already have 2 two-part comments geeeeeez (<3333!! \o/)
to feel so foreign without any discernible excuse This! I relate to your mother's situation. I don't look like a foreigner in the Philippines. There are different kinds of third-culture kids and one kind is I guess the hidden foreigner. I feel like that here to a different (not bigger or smaller) extent. For all our rage against the white hegemony in the USA, this country is really really diverse. With my (lack of??) accent and slang, I can pass for American if no one looks at my passport. I have a friend here who constantly forgets I'm not American and says "you guys" and "here in your country" when talking about the US.
Is your mother a Bolivian citizen? How often do you go back there?
