heh, I feel I need to jump in here too - Since I was in a very very similar
situation. I'm from israel, originally, and lived in boston for a couple of
years when I was 4 (got the bilingual thing you mentioned later) and again when
I was a junior in highschool (got the "cold" social life thing). Then I moved
back to Israel, went to the army and university.
But the funny part is, that after I got my degree, I moved back here, to the
US, to Washington, DC. I bet you didn't expect that! But through the years, I
kept coming back here to visit (friends I made online and live here, my parents
moved here again for a couple of years, and of course, to ski [1]). And I
found out, in these visits, that I get along with people in the US BETTER than
I do back home!
I'm not saying Israel is bad, no, I love it and would have died to defend it.
Just don't be suprised if in a few years you'll find yourself thinking of
moving back here.
Food for thought?
:)
