Going home for the first time - is it normal to be nervous??

[AskNotForWhomTheBellCurves]

As the title says really. It's been a bit more than a year since I moved to South-East Asia and I've just started to feel properly settled into life here. I didn't intend to go back to visit the UK until October, but an opportunity came up to go in mid-February for three weeks, and I felt like I had to take it because I don't know when it'll next be possible. But I think I'm more nervous than I was when I moved out here! I haven't really felt homesick at all since I moved, and I think my biggest fear is that I'll unexpectedly realise I love being in the UK and not want to come back - for various reasons a permanent move home is unlikely to be possible for the foreseeable future, so that would be hard. Can someone please reassure me that England in February is dedinitely going to be worse than a tropical country where it's sunny every day, everyone's super friendly and I just bought a takeaway meal for the equivalent of £1.80 including delivery?

I'll swap and go back for you if you decide you want to stay here op!

I doubt three weeks in the UK in February will have you longing to move back OP - it's not exactly the best time of year. Now if you were talking about June - okay - June is the best month IMO

Haha WonderingWanda, deal

cheezncrackers I know, and I deliberately avoided spring and summer for that reason! But there'll still be my parents, friends I've known for ages, the Peak District, trains, foods I like (never realised until last year just how much I'd taken garden peas for granted my whole life), all the places I used to love hanging out... My hope is that I'll remember all the things that are great about Vietnam that I've mostly stopped noticing because they've come to seem normal, but my worry is that there's a load of stuff that's great about the UK that I've completely forgotten.
