Having people at home whom we can relate to in our own language, eat the same kind of food, and understand the same culture is already a haven for us. And this I believe is our reason why we choose those people who will live with us in our home. I agree with Samawy that there shouldn't be anything which prevents us from bridging the gaps among different nationalities. But let's face it, there are not so many people who share the same flexibility as he say he has. There are some people who are not good in mingling...not as anti-socials but rather individuals who are just happy being left alone. As I have said in my previous post, maintaining a peaceful atmosphere is sometimes stressful for some. There are numerous scenarios in the office which some individuals see as stressors and prefer to set aside once they leave the office. They want to go home to a place where there is less or no more stress nor tension.
Even if I rethink my stand, I still prefer to live in a place where there are people who I can easily talk to pertaining to our dear country which we surely miss. Can you blame us for making a makeshift home away from home?
