Grocery Stores

It has been a while. Sorry all. The end of the school year is crazy at good ole BFA. Still I did have a couple of minutes to write something. As for now, let's talk about a thing called culture shock and how it affected me on Wednesday.

I landed in the states on Tuesday after my second year of living in Deutschland. And my mom needed some groceries for the house so I went with her on Wednesday. In Germany, grocery stores have many items, but only one or two choices on each item. So needless to say, it was a bit of a shock when I walked into a grocery store and saw about 20 options for one thing. I did a lot of wandering around that night because I was a bit overwhelmed.

My mom and sister had a good ole time laughing at me and I am sure that I was very humurous to watch. Oh man, the silly things that we do and the ways we react. Well, I am sure that there will be many other cases and ways that this will show itself. So I will just laugh at myself and try to enjoy American culture for the next 5 weeks.
