Have you ever experienced reverse culture shock? It can be harder than culture shock itself. YG blogger Kristi Fuoco weighs in on the subject: I’m a pretty fast adapter in general, and I have always considered my people and cultural skills pretty adept, and yet, I have felt utterly out of my element for months now.
