i don't really think "most people" have a mental concept of where their residence is. i mean, i don't know, and anyway, majority definitions bug me a LOT.

also, yeah, i agree with twtd. things can be much more complicated.

i'm currently going to college in the u.s., but my permanent residences are in india. i'm not really sure where i "live". i guess most of the time i live in the u.s. these days, various places, but that question is far too limiting.
