In a few weeks, I will be the only American here. I used to think that was a good thing and I still do to an extent, but I will really miss having someone who understands those subtle references from American culture. Someone whom I can speak rapid, American, slang English with and someone who will speak it back to me. It's nice, in a way, to not feel so alone in a sea of diversity, but it's also nice, I suppose to dive right in and not cling so dearly to what is familiar and safe.
