Stateside

I've been living in China for several months but I'm returning stateside next week.

The Philippines is a real hodgepodge, the people, the places, and the languages. This incoherence confuses non-Filipinos. Certainly, the Philippines is not monolithic. The Philippines has high dependency on the Anglosphere, but this affair is changing with the new acquaintances with neighbouring Asian peoples. Previously, there were just two conditions for Filipinos, being in the Philippines and being "stateside," which is now an outmoded paradigm.

I'll be stateside for the next month.

You'll need a valid stateside motorcycle license.

They made their stateside debut in the late 1970s.

Q: Why do I need a new stateside driver’s license if my expired license is good as long as I am in military? A current, valid stateside driver’s license is required to get a USAREUR driving permit and international driving permit.

“Yonks,” he replies when I ask how long he's been stateside. “It's not like I've become American. I'm in England every year.”

I'll be going stateside next month!

The gender equality picture stateside can also seem bleak, especially in the wake of the Supreme Court gutting reproductive rights last summer. Women still make only 83 percent of what men do in the U.S.—a stat that has barely budged in the past 20 years.
