[ivan1783]

Born in the soviet union, moved to America as a refugee when I was a baby with my parents due to threats from the mafia. Later in life moved to Germany, where I still live today. I "grew up" Russian, I went to school American and I now am trying to fit into Germany. My (soon to be) wife is French. I cant speak any language properly any more (Russian, German, French, English) and have nowhere where I can clearly identify as "home". I feel the most at home in Germany, but I am clearly an outsider here and will always be (even if in some cases people don't notice I'm not German). Can totally understand this article, hits close to home.
