identity.

born in japan. raised in japan. first language? japanese. nationality, japanese.


all of that points to the fact that my "home" should be japan. now, what i think, is that even though i was born and raised in japan, i can't bring myself to call this place "home".
A Japanese girl, lived in Taiwan, went to the American school. enough confusion there. 
i am who i am today, because of what i went through in Taiwan, both good and bad. in all honesty, it's quite fair to say that Taiwan has shaped me up to be who i am now. i wouldn't be "me" if not for the life i lived whilst on that beautiful taiwanese land. and the environment at TAS definitely contributed to me being the person that i am today. 


so let's put away all the facts, for there is no way i can call this place "home". although i've only lived in taiwan for 6 years, taiwan is my home.
