Complicated Vacations
Sep 3, 2018 · 1 min read

I said something really strange to my coworker the other day.
She knew that I was taking some time off over the next few weeks. She casually asked where I was headed for my vacation. I promptly replied, “Oh, I’m not going on vacation, I’m just going home”.
She seemed perplexed, “Home?”
“Yeah, just back to Bangladesh for a few weeks”
“Oh. Well, have fun!”, she said as she left, still looking somewhat confused.
It wasn’t until much later that the absurdity of my statement hit me.
If I am taking time off to go “home”, then where am I now?
