Journal Entry 1 by juliebarreto from Puako, Hawaii USA on Saturday, July 14, 2018
Picked this up -- I think -- at the Frankfurt airport bookstore.

Silly, but good German practice.

"Then, suddenly, you're somewhere else with a completely different idea of normal. You're dumped into situations where you no longer know the default way to do things; where you are no longer a master of language, a genius of local geography, an expert on the mating customs of your nearby tribe. In the face of millions of people doing and thinking things differently to [sic] you, it's only logical to conclude that maybe, there might also be something to their method? That your NORMAL is actually just WHAT YOU ARE USED TO. While it has become your magnetic north, the reference point to which everything is aligned; it is nothing more than that. To these other people, your strange and often primitive ways and beliefs are south-south-west."
