Really interesting, thank you. And I love the trust fund story.

I also don't really have a national identity. About the closest I can get is "Londoner". I'm happy with that and with the country of my past existing only in memories. But then I didn't have it wrenched away suddenly; I got to see it gradually evolve away (no bad thing in the macro context) and I imagine that's a key difference.

After I willingly uprooted myself, I think I understood that whether or not I returned to Cape Town, I would never again live in my old home town.
