"Being in the US was stressful and more overwhelming than I expected. I was overwhelmed by being able to understand conversations happening around me."
"It felt like every conversation was on a megaphone and being directed toward me as my brain tried to understand and compute every word it was hearing."
"I went to the airport bathroom, huddled in a stall, covered my ears, and cried. It was my first taste of reverse culture shock."
"I experienced a lot of [reverse culture shock] when it came to food, from America's massive portion sizes to its abundance of fast-food chains."
