RE: Mobbs' Memoirs: The first time I leaped out of my comfort zone, and how it led to where I am today

in #blog7 years ago

So young to make such a leap . The culture shock must have almost sent you running to Gimpo . It is an experience that last a life time , with many life skills that you would have never received for many years .

Sort:  

It's funny, nowadays I get reverse culture shock. Foreign cultures don't really faze me anymore, but going back home is like... bizarre. So much white skin, foreign folk act like outcasts, I can understand people talking passing me by, people approach me and ask me stuff, it's very uncomfortable!

I went home after three years and couldn't find the mall . The change to my mother was gradual and she didn't really notice it . I on the other hand was lost . The massive change took some time for my brain to handle . Something that was so familiar was so strange and foreign.
I can so relate .

Haha, the literal change to my dad was another factor, I left him with black hair for Uni in 2006, 3 more visits later - Grey! Tough stuff, eh?
