    • Anonymous commented : I have spent my whole life in America and some times wonder if even I can adjust to American culture. I think what you are feeling is a sense of isolation which is a normal reaction to American culture. I am in the process of doing the direct opposite of you. I am trying to become comfortable with Thai culture. I have been traveling to Thailand for the past year and have noticed a stark differances between the two cultures. I feel that I will have an easier time to adjust to Thai culture that a Thai can to American culture. When I come back to America from a visit to Thailand I am shocked at how us Americans live. Remember, you come from a counrty that has a rich history for thousands of years. Where 98% of the population are Buddhists. Where maintaining family ties is of upmost importance. Also, Thai's just seem to enjoy life a lot more than Americans do. In short, you have a strong connection to your mother country and its culture. America in contrast does not have the components that make Thailand what it is. We are all immigrants in America. We are made up of many religions and ethnic backgrounds. America is a country that is relative new in terms of world history. We in general, do not maintain the family ties like Thais do. And I think that we, in spite of all our wealth, are not all that happy. Maybe the so called protestant work ethic is the problem. I think we are continually re-defining our culture. What America does has to offer is the opportunity to economically better ones life. I think when it come do to it, it is a trade off. In the short term, I would try to connect with a group that is involved in something you are interested in. I am not sure what options you have where you live. Your idea to move to Canada could be a positive decision. I am in the Seattle area and travel to Vancouver BC from time to time and find to more cosmopolitan than Seattle. Good luck with your journey.
