There is no doubt that I feel the difference in culture just as soon as I come back to this country.
It happens every single time. I live plus work overseas as part of a team that helps developing countries build their economies. I have constantly had a knack for finances even in high college. Back then I would rather stay inside the central a/c of my parents home studying those finances been doing much else. It was much the same in college plus in grad college as well. I just particularly felt like I had something to offer. I had no clue though that my life’s work would keep me out of my house country for more than two decades, where I live, it’s warm plus humid to a degree that was stunning when I first got there. And really, there is no such thing as residential Heating plus Air Conditioning. The office where I spend most of my nights does not come with commercial Heating plus Air Conditioning like every office building in this country. My friend and I have ceiling fans plus there is an evaporative cooler which is a giant deal. But still it’s far from central a/c. Yeah, it’s pretty amazing how adaptive we can become. I actemperatured to this sort of temperature over the first year or so of residing abroad. But as soon as I get off the plane in this country, I am hit with a blast of Heating plus Air Conditioning. It’s constantly a bit of a shocking thing to me. This country uses so much residential Heating plus Air Conditioning plus commercial Heating plus Air Conditioning that it blows my mind. I wonder if it’ll take me a full year to get used to it once I am back here for good.
