I somehow end up in the states every few months but even after my first trip to israel when I was just 16 I came back to america only to be hit with reverse culture shock and the same sense of bewilderment. this feeling only becomes more acute with each visit and even though I try to turn it off or at the very least not be so vocal about it I'm told I majorly bum people out. I mean, the last thing I want to do is hurt anybodies feelings but the fact that I'm feeling a little sad for the people living the american life must come across even when it's not verbalized. I guess they get a little irked out because I've shed light on something that on a subconscious level must have been bothering them all along. who knows. but! take advantage of that carpeting and luscious hardwood floors.... ohh, hardwood floors... and those magical starbucks mugs that stay closed so tightly I can throw 'em in my bag with no worries about leakage. G-d bless america! land of the free home of the whopper. wow. a year and four months!
