I don't know if you ever feel like this. After you stay in Taiwan for a long time and the first day you arrive sydney, the people and life here in Sydney feels so far away. Speaking English feels funny and most funny thing of all is that you feel like you are not belonging to Australia. How did I work here...how come they look so OZ and so blonde..?Do I eat that healthy crap for lunch all these years? The food in Taiwan is so much nicer....
I always have that kind of feeling for at least 2 full days. The same thing applies to Taiwan too. You are in Australia all this time, seeing Australian talking in English without thinking. Then you arrive Taiwan. You feel like a tourist for a little while. The people in metro look so different from you (i think they look different, of course they are not). Even though your language is very good you still feel like an outsider. That will then go away after 1 or 2 days. Is it just me or do you feel like that too? Taiwan and Australia are both homes. They are also both not my homes. I want to live in Argentina. Maybe that will be better.

Yes, I feel the same way too.. I don't feel like I belong in USA or TW. I'll have to move back to Europe! Maybe we were both Euro kids in our past lives!
I think a lot of people have that feel too.But it really surprised me how "Argentina" pops up in the end... ^ ^
