I’m mostly over reverse culture shock. Subtle things are the worst. Like I’m still a little surprised when people hold a door open for me, or say sorry when they just happen to be in the area I’m walking towards.
Then there is the food! Oh it is so nice to have variety once again. I can once again walk over to a deli, ask for “some of this and some of that”. There are tons of foods that I want to grab when I’m in a grocery store. I’m trying real hard with not over doing it. Just but one thing different/extra each week.
I’ll try not to grumble too loudly about the f’ing insane cost of my 10GB mobile data plan…..>:(
I also bought a car. You really do need one in Canada unless you are a hermit.
Is a 2002 Volvo S40. Only had 159K on it. Need to attend to some minor issues but once the weather is nice out. It’s a good car and the turbo is fun to play with :)
Also, each week a connect with another friend/family member. I realize this is a good plan as trying to contact every single person I knew at once would be hard.
Yes, it is nice to be home. Good to catch up with family/friends/food/cars again. We’ll see how long it lasts ;)
