I went into a grocery store, and it was strange how the "reverse culture shock" of my return to the US suddenly caught up with me. I really hadn't been experiencing much difficulty with adjusting to being back, but somehow being in the store left me feeling lost. And even more strangely, amid a giant warehouse-style grocery store, I managed to find some locally made kimchi in about 2 minutes, but couldn't find several things that should be easy.
I managed not to have kimchi for about a week. I guess I was craving some. Weird how it grows on a person. I used not to like it.
