Coming Home to a Foreign Country

I was born and raised in Taiwan, and moved to the United States in my early 20's.  I had a good life, a great job, and an white American wife.  Suddenly, my dad passed away in Taiwan, and my marriage fell apart.  I quit my job and came home, to a country that is now foreign to me.  At age 43, I'm starting my life over.

I know this is my home country, but at least for now, I'm too Americanized to feel this is home.  I'm in serious culture shock.  My Chinese is slowly coming back, but right now it is still a second language to me, although it was my first.

I decided to document my observations and experiences of cultural adjustment on this blog.  I don't know if I'm going to find any readers, but this definitely is a curious culture that I'd like to share with the world.
