Reverse Culture Shock!

In the last month, I went from the city by the river to the rodeo camp in the desert. It was a bit of an adjustment moving from and to like that, but I also had to adjust from speaking Portuguese to everyone I did not know. I actually had an embarassing moment on that, as I tried to ask for help in Portuguese of a person in an American airport. Now, I am reading and listening online to keep up, but I miss the people and culture I was just getting to know before I left.
