I find that when I am traveling in America I act like a New Zealander, and am quite proud to show it; that means using NZ phrases and euphemisms and behavior; which can cause problems sometimes, they can't tell me apart from the British or what I am talking about it. I always get the question, 'are you from London?' or 'Are you Australian?'
Whereas when I am in New Zealand I find myself acting quite American (and thus aloof and even foreign acting and looking), and being rather snide about some things i.e. the tiny NZ military and some rather silly foreign policy positions NZ'ers hold.
I guess when I am in New Zealand I miss America, and when I am in America I miss New Zealand.
If any of you live/travel outside of America, do you find that you act more patriotic when you are outside the country; and more constrained when you are in it?
