This is a great song by Magnetic North and Taiyo Na. Home: Word



Last night it just struck me again how different socialising with Malaysians is from socialising with the French. (I'm not sure whether I've written about this before...but I have thought of it before) That is not to say that any one is better than the other...it is just...different. We do not interact the same way.

And sometimes, with Malaysians, there is just this feeling, a feeling of being home. It doesn't matter where you are...I've felt it in France too. And that moment can be pure contentment...like some moments last night.

So what is home? In reference to the lyrics of the song,

It's hard to find the words for something so basic, but it's where I come back, I find it in friends, I find it in things, a life from within.

Used to think home was a physical place, but if it isn't and we're searching for it, it's a place where you don't search no more. Home is where contentment is.
