If it's any consolation, I still sometimes feel homesick for Australia even though I've been here for a decade! I find myself looking at the suburb where I used to live on google maps. It's like I know that if I went back there to live it would be completely different to how I remember it and people I knew from there would live there no longer, but I still relish the memories. Last time I went back to Aus was in Form 6 and as I got off the plane and felt the heat waves envelop me, I knew I was home.
I know it's not the same kind of away from home sans-family homesickness you're dealing with, but it does make me wonder what it'd be like if I were to move to England in a year or two (I'm considering it).
Wow that was a soppy post on my part.
