Homesick

I miss Taiwan greatly, and I believe everyone who is working, studying, or travelling overseas will miss your hometown too. How I wish I could finish my army service here in Singapore and teleport back to my home. I miss the stinky tofu, the boba oolong milk tea L size 25% sugar and less ice downstairs of my house. I miss the minced pork rice, the fried oyster, and the egg roll breakfast along the Zi Ping Road & Shui Nan Road. You can't find that authentic taste in any other place but Taiwan. It seems like, this home that I used to know, has changed dramatically over the past two years. It became an island that I can't recognise - twisted, strained with political uncertainty and social illusion. The scary part of returning home is 'when you can't recognise your own home'. That is the realisation of our emotional expectation.
