Inquiry Travel Log III

Aloha and fare-thee-well beautiful Hawai'i

It's my last Saturday before I fly back to Calgary this Monday night, the 2nd of April after 9 weeks of an overall lovely and enriching experience. I'll keep this short as I head out for my final dip in the beautiful pacific sea! Take care fellow TAB travellers and all the best as we depart on one of our biggest adventures yet - our teaching careers! I will aim to kokua (help) my keiki (children) in their learning and malama aina (care for the land) together with all my aloha (love, affection, peace, compassion, mercy, and of course it also means hello and good-bye)

Aloha O'ahu (until my next visit)

Surviving Reverse Culture Shock link

Everybody knows about experiencing culture shock when you visit a country with different customs, cuisine or language. But sometimes the worst culture shock of all comes when you return home.

Reverse culture shock is the name people give to that feeling of not fitting in to your home country, and you’re especially at risk of it if you return home after living abroad for an extended time.

The best way to beat reverse culture shock is to be aware of how it might strike. Here are a few of the experiences you could expect to have once you return home.
