So in five days I'm gonna be back on American soil. Something tells me one of the first things I'm gonna see, landing in LAX, is this:
Also being around cars at all has been really damn rare over the last nine months, so it's gonna be kinda crazy to be around them as a fact of life all. the. time. And on the wrong side of the road, too~!
I mean, I lived in Tanzania for a year a long while back, and suffered pretty crazy reverse culture shock then as well (going into a mall after being in a small village for a year is downright decadent), but a life without seeing schoolgirls and animu ever ten minutes is gonna be weird yo
So tell me about your funny reverse culture shock moments, SE++. It might take the edge off the stress of packing my insane amounts of merch.

No, it's reverse culture shock. Like, how when a black guy is all hatin' on whities, it's reverse racism.
See?
[edit]Fuck you, Pip.
To this day I still regret not thinking to call him out on that bullshit.
Leave your tentacles and loli mags at the door.
You've been warned.
Shortly after I came home I went to Wal-Mart with some friends. As we entered the place, the greeter was like "Yo, welcome to Wal-Mart". Without breaking my conversation, I put my hands on the podium and waited to be searched.
Old lady greeter wasn't into it.
Almost none of those are fried chicken.
I have been misled.
sexual fulfillment
Korean Fried Chicken: Like our women, no breasts or thighs!
Too Galactic for you.
but I'm afraid it'll be too weird for me
I mean, japanese culture fascinates and disgusts me in equal measures
I just think that if I ever actually went there I might lock myself in my hotel room and just peep out the window at all the strangeness below me
it will be weird
*kung fu noises*
That's probably the worst attitude you could approach it with.
What spring does with the cherry trees.
Animu/Tentacle/Loli/Rape culture Japan... not so much.
And Disney World is nowhere in sight.
I hear they have vending machines that dispense schoolgirls
I've lived in Europe for the past 3 years, while it wont be that big of a difference i've kinda gotten usta the fact folks dont speak english and such and I have to learn the language of where I live.

Except for the masses of tentacle rape happening in the streets.
Ideally there would be no depression
I'd be hella (culture) shocked.
And Disney World is nowhere in sight.

It's funny how every single interview she does involves her boobs.

I have spent a good amount of time in fashion districts in both Nagoya and Tokyo, and I have never once seen a full on ganguro like this. Not once. In some 50-odd hours of bumming around the city sections known for these. I think it's a relic of the 90s and early 2000s that Cracked really just likes making fun of.
what the fuck is up with that eye makeup
