What do you take away with you after spending a chunk of your time and energy living and working in a totally new place? It is not just the bag of knowledge, but those strange thoughts of people you meet that you are still trying to decipher, the new flavors still lingering in your nose, or the shadows cast by that shapes designed and built by those odd people called Americans. It is those textures and flavors, style and spirit that make that place peculiar but memorable, still, a place to return to.
