This sounds more like what we used to call "This Be Africa" when I lived there, rather than reverse culture shock per-se.

- trustfundbaby 10y agodunno about that. I grew up there, so at one point, all this was completely normal to me. It wasn't till I went back that I realized how INSANE it all was. My family ask me every week, when I'm moving back. lol
- ido 10y agoThis may have also been exasperated by such a short visit? When I visited India for a couple months in 2004, it took me a couple of tries to even be able to go out to the street (in Delhi). But after a couple days I started getting used to it and a week or 2 later it was "fine" and not really that shocking (albeit still annoying at times).
