The good news is that I think I am out of culture shock. The bad news is that I think I've had it for the last week or so. Here are some of the "typical symptoms" of culture shock; see if you can guess which ones I might have been exhibiting:
Boredom, loneliness
Insomnia, excessive need of sleep
Mood changes, depression, feeling powerless
Anger, animosity towards other people
Difficulty solving even the most simple problems
Feeling insecure
Development of stereo-types in the new culture
Strong longing for family and friends back home
Insomnia: check. Extreme anger towards Justin: check. Trash-talk about the Dutch: check. I won't get too much further into it; that might make some people uncomfortable, or make them feel even more insecure and have even more difficulty solivng even the most simple problem...
(I am pretty sure I was in "Culture Shock" when this photo was taken.)

you hardly need 'culture shock' to get mad at justin.
hey, nice use of my former clothes in each picture.
wait, not that justin is easy to get mad at, but that you are easily annoyed, which hardly has anything to do with where you are living. sorry, justin.
nice clarification
emily, just treat j with the respect you'd reserve for a huge pot of gold.
