Its so surreal trying to reintegrate back into “normal life” after a prolonged exodus. Although you know your home, your neighbourhood, friends and family, you may not be aware of how much everything changed since you left. At the same time, in adjusting to the new culture your habits, perceptions and values might have transformed, even if you hadn’t noticed. It is sometimes difficult for your family and friends to understand the changes you have been through. They might expect you to be the same person that left a year ago, and it can be difficult for them to understand your whole experience and for you to explain some of your ventures.

too true – and that cars actually STAY on the roads! i also think, when i head back home, how BIG everything (and everyone) is in the US.

Fantastic piece. It\\\’s one of the hardest thing about the end of a long trip for me is knowing that adjusting back to \\\’reality\\\’ will be harder than anything that trip has thrown at me.

Haha! I definitely relate with #10. As for #1, I think it’s the opposite for me, living in the Philippines. I am constantly amazed by how people DON’T obey traffic rules and regulations in this country, compared to other countries. And as far as #5 goes, I always have a backpack with me, whether I’m traveling or not… I guess I’m just a dork that way. (That, and I need to carry lots of extra clothes for theater.)

My personal “travel hangover” sign is being instantly more aware of random Caucasians in my own country…. haha… maybe it’s because I saw so many of them abroad, that I always stop and wonder how many there are in my own country.

SO funny and so true, too! Especially #2 – the salespeople always look at me like I have three eyeballs when I try to talk them down in price……paying what it says on the price tag just seems so wrong somehow…. Thanks for making my day AGAIN!
