Last furlough a couple years ago I just glanced out the car window our first or second day back and saw another white person in a different car--I nearly had a heart attack. lol!

Oh, sometimes it was sooooo shocking just to hear English out in public--or find shoes for my daughter--or find things (as you so adequately described). I don't think anyone in the States has any idea the luxury it is just to go to a simple store like Walmart. So many choices! Variety! I'm always overwhelmed by decorations for the home. We don't even have access to things like that here! Enjoy your furlough. I know you will! And, you'll be refreshed and ready for another adventure on your field. <br />Lou Ann Keiserhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02684047509152182217noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-842347942296006125.post-52725653741022510612016-06-09T01:33:49.234-04:002016-06-09T01:33:49.234-04:00You have so vividly described reverse culture shoc...You have so vividly described reverse culture shock in the grocery store. That is exactly what happened to me except it was orange juice--pulp, no pulp, a whole aisle, a million different brands and prices to consider. Overwhelmed, I began to cry and a store employee asked me, Honey, are you okay? I told him I didn't know which kind to buy! Finally, I just grabbed one. For me, reverse culture shock was worse than the culture shock on the field. Jessihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15832402054008826948noreply@blogger.com
