Home away from home

What's funny about living abroad is that you kinda forget that that's what you're doing, after a while. When I hear about people studying abroad I find myself thinking "I want to do that too", just to realize...duh! Sometimes I have those moments when I have to remind myself that this is not "normal", this has not always been my life. So sometimes people around me get to experience me shouting out "This is so American!", and it can be for the simplest things, like driving on the freeway. Today I had that moment when I walked by the Emerson school and saw the yellow buses.
