Reverse Culture Shock...AKA

- getting uncomfortably close to everyone before remembering here, we don't kiss everyone
- understanding conversations. All of them.
- phones that work, and almost wishing they didn't
- toilet paper that feels like egyptian cotton...no really
- peanut butter.
- driving...and wondering why I missed it so much?
- fast internet. definitely a shock
- people you knew, and still know. Besides the million little things that have changed
- speaking spanglish, and refusing to say "bye"..chau is still acceptable right?
- trying to remember that a yellow traffic light means slow down, not speed up (technically)
- forgetting the world cup is still happening due to the lack of celebration
- adjusting to the reality that full cama, unlimited drinks, movies, and comfy sleep is not an option for cross country travel
- missing a place as if it were home while sitting in your real one...but loving that one equally
- adjusting to real people's sleep schedules
- and eating habits
