My reverse culture shock ⏤ returning to America

#travel #expat #vlog #casafassa #cultureshock
It's been about a month since I've set foot back on American soil. It seemed quite strange at first, but I'm starting to get used to it.

Hey brother. I've seen all your videos, this is my favoite one! lol. love the line where you say "Everyone looking for a tip." So true! No tipping in China! I use to be a great tipper, but 22 years in China made me a cheap skate! Ha! PS we still on lockdown here in Sanya, day 40 something...

I've always wanted the perspective of an expat that has repatriated to the US. This was great! I look forward to a deeper dive of your repatriation after several months after being in China for so long

"Even for handing you a muffin" LMAO

You have a talent for the scenic shots.

Welcome back! Now that you're in the US, I think it would be a good idea for you to reach out to serpentza and cmilk at The China Show (aka ADVPodcasts). They featured one of your videos a few months back and said at the time that they'd love to talk to you to compare experiences of being in China.

Coming from an Arizonan, Tucson in the summer is hardly a fair metric for how beautiful the cities are. It's often called the "Dirty T" for a reason ;)

Some great shots of Arizona! I lived in Phoenix for a half dozen years. And good on you for being able to reacclimate. I could not after nine years in Spain. The reverse culture shock and way of US life were simply too much.

Whenever I hear "Sedona", I immediately sing "muh muh muh my Sedona" to the tune of My Sharona by the Knack.

Yes nice anorher video cant whait when i have time to check it out ❤❤❤

Nice video, great intro and some profound points.

I know you were talking about the towns and cities but the US looks beautiful to me from your shots! Looking forward to the Mexico vid. A friend of mine says South America is beautiful and the people are very nice too. I'd be inclined to move down there somewhere if I lived in the US. At least visit. He's from the Bahamas.

Greetings from China. Me and Jolley miss you bro. You should shoot more videos, so we know what is going on. Take care, and best wishes.

[LimitedHandles]

Congrats on making it back. Interesting to see how much higher your spirits seem than in the video while you were in China lol. Best wishes

[MarkVictorson]

You sure can make the intros shorter and begin right to the point;)

How do expats all feel about how the homeless drug addicts and their encampments are condoned, enabled by politicians?

Even though I moved from China years ago, I still catch my self saying "dui bu qi"

[DanAtkinson]

Good honest take. No one here wants to hear that this is not the US it was in the 90's or before. Look forward to future videos.

Opening shot Looks like Phoenix Area, maybe Tempe

I Sprouts isn't the cheapest grocery store.

Here's a culture shock for you: Walk down the road with an open bottle of beer and see what happens.
