There is a question asked in the ex-pat community here (and I assume elsewhere) that is:
“when did you have/have you had your ‘moment'”.
The “moment” is that instance in time when you realize:
Holy Shit! I LIVE here! This is not a vacation.
For some the moment induces some level of anxiety. For some (many?) this moment of anxiety is brief. Some don’t get over it and have problems.
When we landed in Cairo on our return from Morocco, after going through Immigration and Customs and stepping outside the terminal to meet our driver, I had mine.
It is good to be home.
