Reverse Culture Shock


Recommended Posts

Yes I  long for the days when people weren't  total gits when they kept their properties smart and tidy and had some appreciation of that, when holidays weren't almost every week.

I don't go out  much, lockdown for me means nothing

Hugs n kisses off of aunties indeed. No more of that of course. But reverse culture shock is more about not fitting in than prices of things... i.e. a feeling of no longer belonging to one's own culture. I can attest to this.

me too

so many racist westerners in love with themselves

can't stand people following me about asking what I am looking for.

went into a tire shop here w/my wife and the owner was on top of me from the moment we walked in the door... I just wasn't in the mood and got really uncomfortable and responded the only way I could politely -I left... my wife understood and I told her I don't like that kind of pressure... and my wife responded... 'but she's Chinese.'

The thing I can never understand , though guilty of it myself when younger , walking into peoples houses with shoes on .

When I see it on a movie it looks terrible , bringing in the street dirt to somebody's house. 

What if their floor is dirtier than the street?

no matter what isle you try to slip in there is another hoard of them waiting to pounce. then they slowly walk behind you to see where you stop. it's like being in a zombie movie they seem to multiply in numbers the further into the shop you go. 

Never had a problem.

Usually I have to search to find someone to ask where the item I want is kept.

My theory is they approach/follow people who look somehow 'out of place'.
