Reverse Culture Shock

Things I noticed/ dealt with upon returning to America:
  • Seeing a myriad of colorful faces
  • My skin complexion no longer being the majority
  • Drinking the tap water
  • Brushing my teeth with the water
  • Not having to wait 20 min after turning on the water heater to have a warm shower
  • Flying over mansions with their own pool & tennis courts and thinking about the concept of necessary space to live comfortably 
  • Riding to the New York airport in a taxi with just me…and paying $35 for the taxi
  • Understanding everything people say
  • Being able to use my cell phone everywhere
  • Feeling the need to reconnect on social media
  • Not saying hello to everyone I pass/ not having them speak to me
  • Paved roads
  • Missing natural beauty because we walk around on a mission
