Culture Shock

"How are you?"

actually it's a hard question to answer.

I returned from India on Thursday evening and I leave for work in Hawaii on Monday. Currently, I am experiencing "culture shock" or "re-entry trauma" or whatever you want to call it.

I'm manic, sometimes irritable, sometimes ecstatic, sometimes depressed. I want to inject everyone with my experience like when Neo learns to fly the helicopter in "The Matrix"--so I don't have to attempt the impossible of trying to answer the question, "How was your trip?" At the very least I want to grab them by the shoulders, shake hard and scream, "There's a whole world out there, WAKE UP!"

That's all I got right now.
