I must admit, I'm pretty jealous of bilingual people in different countries. Not only are your skills more versatile in a global economy (took some Spanish but don't consider myself fluent), but you also has a heritage and traditions you're proud of.

The US, though has the cool feature of choosing your own traditions, doesn't have as deep of a sense of national history as strong as other European/South American/Asian/African nations.
