True, but this is Japanese, and it is perfectly readable (well, as good as I am at reading Japanese ) either way. I do admit that if one translated it directly in the same structure, it would sound a bit like Yoda. "In a foreign country, my father lives." But that is true of almost every sentence translation.

Would that mean that the topic marker refers to 'gaikokuni chichi'? Therefore becoming something different or nonsensical?
