But then again, most memories are far better or far worse then what actually was. None the less, it sounds good. I sounds perfect.

It is certainly not as pure as our Aussie air, that's for sure. Sofia, yes it is definately the heat that brings on the homesickness, it reminds me of home for sure. I agree, it feels like another life. I have never been to Portugal but I've heard it is beautiful and i'd like to go while I'm living in Europe. Vic, pang is exactly what it feels like! I get homesickness for both people and places - i am a bit of a nature girl so I get a bit attached to surroundings as much as I do to people. You are so right about wanting to be here if you were back there, ditto ditto. Jen, I don't know that song by name, I'll check it out now, thanks!! Marie, don’t get me started on the air of Paris!

I have almost no family living there anymore and although I have wonderful souvenirs I often also think about the bad ones so it's more like a nostalgic souvenir in my head...like anouther life I lived :) I know exactly what you mean Pia, when the weather begins to get hotter, I can’t help to think about the beautiful beaches of my home country (Portugal - I know it’s not far) but I don’t often return there.

It comes in the form of a pang, like hunger but worse because you know feeding it is next to impossible. These days I get homesick for people more than places, for the laughter of friends far away, just for the presence of familiarity, really. But then I remember where I am and how much I'd wish I was here if I were there and it disappears fairly quickly.
