Back Home Again
I have returned to the United States.
My first impression is that everyone really does live like Kings. This entire country is so wealthy. Everything looks so clean, so big, so NEW. I can't believe the variety and selection. At the same time that everything seems so absurdly luxurious it also has a familiarity. I know that I've lived with hot running water almost the entirety of my life. I know that food has always been this available. Yet, I am still completely in awe of how many people have cars, how good the roads are, the fact that this town has 20,000 and two hospitals (with good healthcare). We'll see how reverse culture shock continues. I think it's going to come out the most once I start taking classes.
