Greg's Canada Trip: Thoughts on Reverse Culture Shock [S5.E58]

It's Greg's turn for some reverse culture shock as he
relates his return to Thailand from the Great White North of
Calgary, Alberta, Canada. Ed first notes the differences between
his situation and Greg's: he still has family in Ohio, while
Greg's family are no longer there. Plus, Ed's habits tend towards
the international, such as Starbucks and Subway, so he can feel
at home around the world. 


For Greg though, Calgary is really another place entirely,
especially in the winter, and he reacted similarly to Ed in Ohio:
Why do human beings even live in this environment? Apparently,
twenty years in the tropics changes a man.


The boys then discuss some of the big differences noted on
Greg's trip, from dull malls and rough-looking locals (something
Ed noticed on his trip too) to the abundance of weed dispensaries
and the sheer joy of bantering with waitstaff in your own
language.  


Listen in for some deep thoughts on being a stranger in a
strange land that used to be home.
