What happened in China? What was it like? I've never been and that would have been really cool to read. Why didn't you drive? I really liked the idea, but I also wanted more. There's a small typo in the first paragraph. <br /><br />Were you aware that this could also be experienced when returning into your familiar social culture after being absent for a period of time.<br /><br />I think it should have a question mark at the end. <br /><br />Cool post though. :)Stacey39https://www.blogger.com/profile/01147227412162445976noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7789831544235817326.post-91032101529798701902009-09-20T15:07:10.655-07:002009-09-20T15:07:10.655-07:00I agree with Cassie, in that I liked how you looke...I agree with Cassie, in that I liked how you looked at this topic from a different perspective then might have normally been taken (culture shock returning home instead of going away). This made it interesting and novel idea (always funner to read!). I think it's really cool that you got to visit somewhere as exotic as China, it was surprising to hear that returning home for you was more of a challenge: it's a perspective I wouldn't have even thought of. In that way it makes for a really interesting piece. <br /> I'm also happy that you added that you were "glad" you experienced your culture shock, because it shows that even though you had a challenging expierience, it was still worth it.<br />I also agree with Whitney in that since it was such an interesting take on an idea, it would have been nice to see it expanded. <br /><br />(This is what happens when you comment 3rd: you agree with everyone.)<br /><br />Nice job :)Meghan Eddyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05642871169312049758noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7789831544235817326.post-2782094288792042842009-09-20T12:46:38.867-07:002009-09-20T12:46:38.867-07:00Chelsea, I really enjoyed reading your blog and la...Chelsea, I really enjoyed reading your blog and laughing at the truth behind it. I loved how you twisted the idea of culture shock in what one assumes to be familiar surroundings but does not feel that way. I could completely relate to being in culture shock when returning home from a trip, even it was for a short time. Before reading your blog I never defined it as culture shock but now feel that there is no better way to describe it.

I liked that you said the excitement of going to China helped to curb the culture shock you experienced when going there. I was kind of questioning why you didn't experience it when going to China, but that really helped to explain it. I think this could have been longer to help develop how you felt, because it seems like it was a complex feeling that definately could have been described in more than a few paragraphs.
