Definitely. I always speak Vietnamese with my parents at home, because that's their mother tongue and it just feels much closer than speaking French.

Growing up as an immigrant is a unique experience, at one point one of my previous girlfriends said "you should stop with your immigrant things". I knew it was over (for other reasons too, but that was one of them)

My current partner also grew up abroad, so she knows what that is like to be a foreigner in another country. We also live in a country where none of us are locals. But we're both fine with that, because we know how it is.

It probably depends on which ones are the two countries, in your case it's even more complex as you seem to support Taiwan.

I'm second generation Vietnamese, and while I like the Vietnamese language and culture, I'm still closer to the country where I was born, grew up and spent basically my whole life.

Also Vietnam being a one party state that my parents left doesn't really encourages me to fight for it.

That's harsh, sorry to hear...
