I have always found the roads (and any open area as such) in the USA to be claustrophobic. Soon I realised that I miss the fields with horizon lying ahead. But then I thought why do I miss the horizon so much as I really love greenery and dense forests. Trust me, the roads of this country is overly flourished with those. Missing the horizon shouldn't really make me feel so claustrophobic. But today, while walking through the corrider towards my seventh floor lab, I understood why I feel this way.

I just want to stand in front of a limitless field, with the horizon ahead of me and saying me, "Run towards me. Just behind me, lies your beloved (and sometime hated) country with all your people in there."

So I miss the horizon giving me the reassurance that I haven't lost everything yet. They are just round the corner.
