MiniMe has spent the last six months living in a state where she can see Russia from her window. She has acclimated quite well and has acquired all of the traditional attire necessary to combat the freezing temperatures. In addition, she has made a lot of friends and has found more to do than just basketball and wrestling. For example, eating, drinking and watching TV. Thus, it sounds and feels a lot like home.
Regardless of the acclimation and similarities, she, like many others in this burrough, wanted to go home for the holidays – something the natives refer to as the ‘Great White Flight.’ Yes, this is the time of year when the majority of the Caucasians leave town.
I get the analogy, but for me, I see it differently. When I see the great white snow outside the first thing I want to do is fly off to somewhere else. Great white flight, right?
