Elaborate?
I was born in Switzerland and spent my first 18 years there. I am now... let's just say more than double that age Even though I still hold citizenship of that country and my family lives there, I do not consider it my home and have not for many years. I have not visited for 5 years for various reasons (young kids, financials), and much has changed... it would definitely feel foreign to me now.

How to word things, can be difficult!
Simply put; I feel like a stranger in a strange land, England, it was.
It almost has become... I don't speak Spanish and don't choose to learn another language - not trying to be nasty but I think folks should have a basic understanding of English if they choose to move to the US.
havent gone back home since 2007, and as much as there are foods i miss and places i'd like to visit back home, i feel that my hometown would be so foreign to me, sadly.
