One of the reasons I haven’t been posting much recently is that I’ve had a quick trip home.
It was a bit of a flying visit and I didn’t get to see everyone I wanted to. Even though I’ve only been here for 7 weeks you still suffer some culture shock when you get home.
Things I noticed
- People walking around (yay!)
- Air quality
- My special Jakarta cough mostly disappeared
- Multiple hair colours (Blonde – what’s that!)
- People from different subcultures walking along the street
- Less conservative clothing
I’m sure when I got back on Thursday morning and walked a bit that I was doing the tourist head spinning 180 degrees left and right thing.
All of which proves – normality is relative, and normality varies massively.
