Culture Shock Goes Both Ways

Student: Teacher! Guess what? I just got back from studying in America for 3 weeks.
Me: Wow! Did you like it?
Student: Yes, I did. But not everything. For example, the food was sooooooooooo bland. Ugh, disgusting.
Me: Yes, most food isn't spicy like in Thailand.
Student: I experienced culture shock, I think. It was really hard for me. No offense, but some things you do in America are just so strange; I can't even wrap my head around it.
Me: Okay, interesting. Can you share with the group what you think the biggest culture was for you?
Student: *Thinks for a moment*
Yeah. You guys flush toilet paper down the toilet. Why!?!?? I just don't understand. That's so weird....


Different strokes for different folks.
