Hi, Glen!
I read your article and, yes, I've been feeling thesame way for ten years.
I grew up in Japan and live in middle east for ten years.
Everytime I go back home, I find strange Japanese behavior.
This summer, we were in Japan for a month and a half. Actually, I've been getting used to this "reverse culture shock" but when an optician handed me my new pair of glasses on his knees, I was embarrassed. It was a quite culture shock.
I knew that Japanese clerks are always nice to their customers and often too nice. But I live in Arab culture now and I'm adjusted here somehow.
Once you live in a place, you get used to the environment.
You don't know exactly which part of you is adjusted yourself because you changed slowly, but when you come back to the place where you were at first, you see the difference clearer.
That's how good to go outside and see your culture and yourself from different points of view. Not only to encounter different cultures but also to find your own culture again. Thank you for the nice topics!

Hi きるふぇ,
Thanks for the thoughtful comment :)
Yeh the deeper you get into a new culture the more you change. But its always rewarding. Yes I found it easier the more ive come back to Australia from japan. The more practice you get the better you get at it. ha
The challenge is keeping the best parts of your newly acquired self:))
