Culture Culture Culture

Thursday: I drove for the first time in ages. And there were a few moments when I panicked at an intersection and didn't know what side of the road to turn onto. Fortunately, each time there'd be someone turning the same direction in front of me, so I just followed them. Thanks, Jesus.

Friday: Every time I looked at a clock, I added 6 hours to see what time it was back home. (Yep, "back home"--that is, in Northern Ireland.)

Saturday (a.k.a. today): I went to an American shopping centre for the first time in at least 5 months. Every time I saw the price of an item I doubled it out of habit, as if I were still converting from GBP to USD.

This has become my life. I am such a cultural misfit.
