Everyone prepares for culture shock when coming to a place like Korea for the first time but going home after being here four years- now that was tougher!! |

So far the only reverse culture shock I've experienced is the 7 dollar cigarettes, thank you Cook County.
I'll be quitting quite quickly. |

Oh, Chicago. I miss thee.
On a side note, my friend just got back from there and brought some frozen Italian beef but I can't find any goddamn giardiniera. |

The poster asked about Reverse Reverse Culture Shock. Not Reverse Culture Shock.
To answer the question I have never heard of it before, I can only assume it means moving back to a place where you lived after living at home for a while so...

Yeah, but you get that feeling of like "Wait a minute, why I am I here in this place again? WTF was I thinking ?" |
