I don't (feel) belong to any country

Lately, I got these type of questions that somehow difficult for me to answer..

Which country that are you belong?

First, I don't understand the meaning of the question :D

• are they trying to ask which country that I feel belong?
• or, are they trying to ask which is my favorite country?
• or, are they trying to ask which country that I will support if there is a world war?
• or, are they trying to ask what is my nationality?

Second, I don't know what happened with me, but to be honest, I don't feel that I belong to any country. 

I can say that I was born and raised in Indonesia

I can say that both my parents are Indonesian and the whole of my genetic family are living and staying in Indonesia

I can say that my nationality is Indonesian

but, I don't feel comfortable to describe myself as Indonesian and at some point I feel more Javanese than Indonesian even though my ancestors are from South Asia and South China and I've been raised by a mixture of Islam culture that acculturated to Javanese culture or Indonesian culture or whatsoever culture is and don't forget the media which has so strong power of influence :D  

but yeah, I have to admit that it's way easier to say "I'm Widy from Indonesia" when I introduced myself :p

well, my point is, if this situation happen to you,  it's okay if you feel so :)

it is normal to feel that way :)

I believe that there are lot of people have the feeling like this. well at least me :p

ha! now, I think my Nationalism, Globalism, and Cosmopolitanism class that I took several years ago does make sense :D I wish I paid more attention on that class (^o^")
