home!

My second full day home! I’m not sensing that much reverse culture shock, but I am feeling super aware of American culture. Is that culture shock per se? Anyway, since when were calories posted in restaurants everywhere? I haven’t looked or thought about calories for 3.5 months and suddenly they’re everywhere. And, all the stuff in the media (OK, just morning television thus far) about health and wrinkle creams and organic food and getting skinny. All this space too: giant parking lots, shopping complexes the size of the medina. Weird.
