Definitely worsened ...  Trust me ... 9 years after the economic crisis .. 97 - 2006 .. still bad. I dont expect miracle in 10 years time.  |

Even from Korea, this guy is making decisions! 
Well you see Ahnissi, it is interesting to see what people understand as 'hometown'...
- born there? (easiest to pin, but for some of us, we can't really call the place 'home' anymore...)
- Childhood there (some of my friends spent their childhood in 4-5 countries, following their parents' contracts)?
- Teen years there (idem)?
- Superior education (what to say about Erasmus )?
- Where your family lives (father? mother?)?
- Where you have main property?
- Where you go back for family-gathering?...
Yet I kindly smile when Javana says she has got no home... poor baby! |

Kudos. Very realistic approach.
Although it's sad to say bye-bye to one's homeland forever (with all its splendid childhood memories), but... c'est notre vie
We must survive (at least for our families)! |

| No we definitely cant say good bye forever to the home where we grew up, especially if our family (parents, siblings etc) still live there. Indo is still my home in heart ... as long as my family live there. Yet on the other hand .... I can only feel I'm home if my hubby and kids are with me. So... yep... we're homeless Ahhh.. not to worry laah. Just keep buying the lotto ticket ... |

he-he I was talking rather about ourselves. Definitely, that green thingy is much easier to win than Aussy Jackpot...
I don't believe in cash lotteries... easy money - easy losses...
Seriously, though, I wish so much for my homeland (and yours as well, of course!) to drag itself out of the shithole it is now in, but these are nothing but my dreams, which are most likely won't be realized in my lifetime...  |

OK! It might help the geography bit then... |
Aha! How many places do you count where you were raised? |
Let's say the place where you had your best childhood memories |
I just recalled the name of my fav book when I was a kid:
"The Home of Wanderers"
