ive been a us citizen for 20 years ( and lived here for 30, i was on a green card) and out in rural Virginia im still the french guy who is new around here. its pretty funny actually. when i meet somebody they ask
where are you from ( i still have a detectable french accent) and when we chat further and get to where i live, they are oh yeah its so and so farm ( which we bought from that guy who died 30 years ago..). I guess it takes at least a generation to be a local 😄
