With just two months to go before I lose my permanent residency, is it something still worth fighting for, or is it time to let go of a city that's changed beyond all recognition?
“... still move home ...” says it all, Simon. What a bittersweet realisation for you. Blessings for your journey of letting go and accepting the changes.
Very interesting article /snapshot of changes within SE Asia Simon, the basket case that is currently Thailand, the hypothesised enlightenment of Cambodia (intriguing...) and the blinkered creeping paternal authoritarianism of China plus one little lost expat looking for an identity in a dystopic Asean. If they ever unite, maybe you will be proud to carry your Asean identity, a sense of belonging...and a passport. Or maybe a wrist / forehead barcode?
I'd certainly be open to gaining a different Asian citizenship. Singapore offers PR, and it's also possible for foreigners to get Cambodian passports. Let's see what the future holds.
