Final Thoughts...

There is a thing called culture shock... and I've experienced it upon my return.

Americans really are fatter despite what I kept telling everyone in Australia (I saw it for myself in LAX).

The cafes here are so depressing because the lattes are burned and the food unfresh.

I didn't have any trouble driving on the correct side of the road in Texas.

I no longer have an addiction to my cell phone, in fact I keep leaving it lying around the house and I don't know where it is. Then again, no one calls me.

I should work for the department of tourism and try to educate Americans on how their behavior overseas affects our image as a country.

My bedroom at my parent's house is a mess and it's going to take days to get all the goods ready to take to Salvation Army.

I think I missed working out at the gym more than anything.

I am happy to be back in the U.S. where you can return things you don't like hassle-free and driving is not an inconvenience.
