Every place you leave becomes a memory. Even if you return to visit， in your mind it’s as it was when you left.

I consider New York City my second hometown. You fight your way into New York City. It isn’t easy. It isn’t cheap. It isn’t so friendly. So when I got to Helsinki， the capital of Finland， I was surprised at how easy it was. People were friendly and nice. They are curious about what I thought of Finland.

Except the coffee and the cost of living， Helsinki and New York don’t have much in common， but I was born in the US Midwest， which was heavily influenced by North Europe. So the life of Finland seemed familiar to that of the US.

Still， I missed New York， I visited it last year， and I went to my old coffee room， still in the same place. Although it was 2014， my mind insisted that it was 2007 and I had never left. The waiter looked at me silently， reaching for the same size cup and pouring the same type of coffee I always got. Same corner， same waiter， same coffee.

To the waiter， he guessed maybe I moved to another neighborhood. He wouldn’t guess from my appearance that I haven’t even been in the country. He didn’t find that there was anything different  until I opened my mouth. It was something I said， I’m sure. He mistook me for one of the tourists who got lost on their way from Times Square.

In my mind， this is my home. It was the place when I dreamed of my childhood， long after I left it; and now I am the same as the other tourists with the packbag.
