culture shock.

it has been almost 2 years now since we've been home. time has gone quickly and slowly at the same time. things here seem quite normal and comfortable now. things like wobbling my head when i talk, having vegetable sellers come to our door, driving on the left side of the road, walking everwhere (but never flat, either up or down), sticking out in a crowd, public displays of male affection, bargaining, having tea with store owners, our accents.... it's hard to imagine that we'll be back in manitoba in one week. we've heard of the culture shock that some people have when they step back into their world that's supposed to be "normal", some things may never be "normal" after india...

here's a few of the contrasts we are preparing for.












see some of you soon.

    And you won't see some of us... (sniff sniff) But I know you will have a great, relaxing time. Yes- looks like a bit of culture shock. it always is for me too, when I go to MB.... not "quite" like it will be for you. now I am bummed. i miss you. I want to be there to welcome you back to North American soil. booooooo.
    Love,
    Kerri
