I'm from the UK and I define myself as English when I'm in Thailand.
Yet, when I'm in England, I'm just another Englishman amongst millions of others. Then we start to define ourselves by region ie. Londoner, Scouser, Geordie etc.
It's only expats that define themselves by their nationality.

i live in the states. boston to be exact and we have such a strong proud loyalty to our city than anyplace in the states, i believ. no matter where i go, in this world, in my lifetime, i will always be a boston boy, with the same boston traits. i may learn from new cultures and become more sophisticated due to be educated by other people around the world, but where i come from, you just dont lose your hometwon traits, we will always be boston boys
