Identity Crisis...

How many of you have experience the same identity crisis as I do?

This year marks an important year, I have spent equal amount of time in Canada and in Taiwan. But am I really Canadian or Taiwanese? I think all of us have the same experience.

Never mind what TV you watch, what friends you hang out with, or what type of music you listen to. You always compare how "westerners" would do differently.

Especially when it comes to relationships, I have a few friends who would qualify as CBCs or Bananas, they would say, "this is what a white guy will do...", "asians will probably do this...". One would think by growing up in a place, influenced heavily by the western culture and media, one would stop comparing himself/herself with their ethnic background, especially in an environment so culturally diversed.

I wouldn't say this is a bad thing neccessarily, especially in a century where the economic growth will be coming from Asia, and we will provide that bridge between cultures. However, it will still leave us, searching, wondering, where do we fit in between?...
