Whether you like it or not but I feel that when
you transfer to another country for some good reasons, you also become an ambassador for your country of origin.
Well, I don’t know how you see this situation but that’s’ what I feel when I
moved on to other country. Basically, many of your new found friends will ask
you questions about your country, the culture and the kind of people that live
in that particular country. What else can you do but to answer all their
questions because you know them? In this way, you become indirectly an
ambassador to your own country. Your new friends are very curious about you and
why you transfer your residency to a different country. Well, these are leading
questions which must be answered diligently.
Many of you have already experienced this.
You are walking down the street, doing you normal routine and someone says to
you, “Congratulations on your new president”. Another may say
“We’re so happy for you” or “You must be so proud… we are proud for your
country.”
I know this is happening all over the
world. Currently Americans have become a subject of pride and admiration
in their host countries. It feels good. It has been a long
time. I was often met with these comments when Bill Clinton was president. I had forgotten how much pride I
feel when I hear these kind words.
