I talked with a friend the other day who is also living across the big lake. In the midst of our conversation we chatted about culture shock and the things that just really get under our skin. He informed me that at this stage, it is no longer called Culture Shock but Culture Rage. He was right! You see, I am no longer "Shocked" by this culture. I know how things work here or should I say don't work here, however, it still drives me crazy and yes, some times even produces some anger. By now I would have thought I would be accustomed to the differences. I wonder if a person ever becomes used to another culture?
