Culture Shock

Yesterday I hit the one-month-mark till I'll be returning to the US-of-A. It's crazy how time goes by so quickly.

Culture shock upon returning to our home country has been the topic of the week for study abroad students. Basically we're all scared of reversal culture shock. See when we arrived in Hong Kong drinking tea, eating with chopsticks, seeing people everywhere, walking by huge skyscrapers, and hearing Cantonese, caught us off guard. But now these things that seemed so foreign to us at the beginning of the semester are now part of our everyday routine. The culture is now part of us.
