I don’t remember where but I loved the illustration about comparing finally getting to see your own culture like a fish finally getting to look at a fish bowl. You learn more about your own culture after you have been out of it for a while. We feel a bit out of place at times as we try to figure out how we fit now that we are back “home” for some months. The biggest obstacles for myself is to not get overwhelmed with all the options or get swept up in materialism. Of course you would need 10 different varieties of low sodium, non-sugared rice milk, right? It is very nice to have options but sometimes I find myself wanting to run out of the grocery store when trying to shop. I do however love the fact that the 10-15 varieties of whatever item I might be looking for are in stock and readily available for me.
