no place as comfort as home... is that true??for me yes! I live far from my family now.it's been two years lately, but I can't forget every smell of my hometown... the food, people, habit, attitude, culture, places and everything is different.I have good adaptation here and blend with native society here, but it taste different.I miss my home, my family, my old friend, etc. remember song of Michael Buble... [b]another summer day, has come and gone away... in paris or rome, I wanna go home may be surrounder by a million people I still feel all alone.. I wanna go home[/b] do you ever miss your hometown when you're in distance?

Of course I miss my hometown. But, if it was in my hometown, I miss where I live now. Where is your hometown?

yes there is no place like home. i do still live in my hometown with my family but I have some friends who have moved away. And they tell me no matter how much they adapt there, they still miss home and wanna come back. I think i'll feel terribly home sick if i move away so I don't think i'll be moving, actually I don't want to too!! Which place are you now and how long will you be there? I hope you can go back to your hometown even if it's just for a short visit

sometime I wish I'd stay my hometown, but sometime we have to go out there for better future, now I feel like can't back the time so far I just can visit my hometown once in year because my hometown and my work place now has very long distance, is about one and half day on road and cross the sea.it's different island dear, between Semarang city ( North Javanese ) and Palembang city ( South Sumatra ).it's like between USA and Greenland

I love that song too... I listen to it when I miss home. I remember sending this to my parents with our old pictures, we cried while talking over the internet. I'm married now and I live far from home. Sometimes, we just miss being home... Wake up each morning, and know you are in your own place. With your parents. You go out and see your friends... The song just says everything about missing home... I've been missing home so much the past few days and finding your posts made me play this song again and again... I hope I can come home next year... I miss home...

I do miss home. I live about two hours from home at this time. I live away from home because I'm working here. I wouldn't be able to find a job that pays as well as this one where I'm from so here I am. I would rather live at home because it's quite comfortable there. It's more relaxed and slow paced. I do miss it. However, at this time it's just not probable that I return.

Oh yes, I miss my hometown very much, a very nice peaceful town. I had to leave because of my job. I am a career-minded person and have been searching for the line of work I was dreaming of. When I found it, I had to move to another city, far away from my hometown. But, I do go back during my vacation times, and refesh my thoughts.

I also miss my hometown, too, but unfortunately, I won't be going back there too soon. I need to work here in the metro so I'll be staying here for a long time. It'll be great when I went back there this winter, though. I just miss everybody there.

I now live in Davao City in Mindanao, Friend Redvakaurvaki. I still go to the villages where I was born and where I grew up, but they look physically different now because Davao City was still a young city then. Davao City is developing fast now, even booming, and I can see that the new developments are far better than what I grew in. I still try to interact with friends, but few have remained in the villages of my roots. They have dispersed to the four winds, with their own families and careers. Besides, there are already gaps of experience, status, and interests. Some of those who have remained may be my contemporaries but have no strong bonds with me. My work, professional career, and business brought me and my family to Metro Manila from 1986 to 2008. So the old landmarks in Davao City have disappeared, and, to my mind, for the better. There is one though that I sorely miss: the old zoo in front of the Davao City Legislative Hall. There is none now. Having said that, when I was still traveling a lot, I consciously steeled myself against attaching my place to a place or to a culture, because I knew it would only stir the pain of remembrance and sense of dissatisfaction later. I still maintain that. I try to remember, but without attachment.

I live very far away from my hometown now, and I must say that as much as I love my life here, I do miss home so much as well. I have just been back there now for a holiday, and it is truly lovely to be with your family and to spend time in an area that you know so so well. I think its a good thing though, to have a home that you love so much - it means that you know there is always a place that will welcome you back whenever it is that you choose to return to it.
• Indonesia
24 Jul 11
that's true! I also love my life here, much more freedom than before,but still missing home very much.so you enjoy your holiday,bouncybug??do you spend your time hang out with your old friend too?

I was born in a beach town and even though I have no family there I still miss it! I am guessing the feeling I have is similar to yours. Whenever we get to visit there I have this strong yearning to never leave. I think it is because being born so close to the ocean and having such a connection with it gets rooed deep inside of you! Humans do have the basic need of water, were made of water, so I think when your born near water too you feel the need to be near it more often than others. I always feel really sad when we have to come back to our house. Maybe one day work will allow us to move back to my place of birth and I want have that yearning anymore.

I think it's such as great experience to live near beach.I can imagine it... play all time with sand, see the sunrise and sunset, swimming, surfing,etc.You had great moment, right??where was that place?I hope you can come back someday

I live and work far away from my hometown. It is a long distance. So I have to either take a train or a plane back to my hometown. I usually go back to my hometown twice a year, namely, during the summer vacation and the winter vacation. I don't have other time or chances to go back home except the long vacations. East, west, home is the best. I miss my hometown.

Yes of course I am also missing my hometown. Because I am in another city for studying and my hometown is so far from here. I comes here before 10 8 years when I was only 17 years old. Because there was no any facility of higher education in my hometown. So I was helpless. And I come to another city for completing my education. But I always missed my hometown. Because that is my birth place.
• Indonesia
24 Jul 11
that's it!! sometime we have no choices but left our hometown,leave family, friend, memories and so on.8 years is not short moment and I think you've complete your education now?will you comeback to your hometown??do your family is still on your hometown or being with you move to other city?
