expats

My own experience.
I have lived in New Zealand for 15 years, if you were to meet me you wouldnt believe the Yorkshire accent coming out of my fizhog.
I have forged some very deep friendships with the natives and in general, fit right in with them, but every now and again some POME reference enters the conversation and the positive re-enforcement within the group, reminds me that I’m an outsider. Easily ridiculed comeback becomes generic after a while, like"Yeah, the All Blacks have a good game, but how"s youre country going in the PROPPER world cup■■?"

I am both expatriate and immigrant, depending on you’re point of view.

I’m just me.
