Relating to the previous post, I lived an interesting experience the other day.
I was walking back from the beach in a new and near way a friend was showing me. Suddently we walked passed a place and suddenly I felt amazingly home sick. Out of nothing. I kept thinking about Brasilia and how beautiful the city is.
Five minutes later I realized that in this part of Santander, there were many buildings, which is not common here, and more than that, they had pillars, just as in Brasilia!
It is amazing how our mind works, just by seeing buildings similar to the ones I have in my hometown rings the bell, even if you don´t realize what is what made you think on that or what. Even if I had never realized that the buildings were Brasilia-style, I would have felt home sick anyway, without realizing what...
Outro dia estava caminhando de volta à casa, por um caminho novo, e de repente senti uma saudade incrível de Brasília. Assim, sem nenhum motivo especial. Era tanta saudade que até me deu uma vontade de chorar. Enfim, sentindo assim o coração apertado, continuei a caminhar. E de repente prestei atenção em um edifício à esquerda, que tinha pilotis! Igualzinho aos edifícios de Brasília... que não são assim comuns de se encontrarem no mundo... e fiquei impressionada com a nossa mente, porque antes que eu tenha racionalizado o fato de ter visto um prédio como os de Brasília que só há em Brasília, eu por algum motivo, já estava com saudades de Brasília. Não sei se me fiz entender, mas foi uma experiência linda.

I thought that Spain and Brazil were so similar that you wouldn't miss your country so much.
I don't really miss Osaka but I do miss my family.
They are similar in many aspects, but not so similar that I would feel as comfortable as at home... I guess I am also affected by the fact that I haven´t been living in Brazil for a long time and I am not really settled in a place, but quite moving around a lot... and I am also a very nostalgic person.
I agree with you, Juana.
No matter how long I live here, there is no place like home...
