Flags in the hall of the Willis Tower in Chicago
I am Spanish and Basque and this is the way I feel.
When I was living in Germany, I went on holidays to Venice. At Saint Marc’s square, I heard some people speaking German and I felt they were my fellow countrymen.
When I was living in Paris, I went to Rome. On the stairs to the top of Saint Peter’s Cathedral, I enjoyed talking to them. I also felt I was French.
When I was living in China, I went back to Paris to a conference. I was representing the Chinese subsidiaries of my company. I lost my badge and when I was asked where I came from in order to get a new one. I answered I came from China. I was very proud of it.
And now I have just arrived to the US. I am sure America will also make me proud to be an American!
