I like the choice with buffets and salad bars etc but the hygiene's always pretty dubious too - at Wholefoods in NY I saw people dipping in all the time to sample things. How long did you live in Mexico? Yeah, they are pretty wasteful.

How long did you live in Mexico?

I know I had it when I returned from living in Mexico. I still miss it. The thing that was most "shocking" to me upon my return was buffet restaurants. They suddenly seemed so extravagant and wasteful. I love this post. I know I had it when I returned from living in Mexico. I still miss it.

It's a post in itself: 'Ways I Changed After Traveling'. I've never been away long enough for anything very dramatic to change, but after my longest stint in Germany I returned with the order of words in my sentences a little out of whack.

On the other hand, I remember some funny things - in Rome, after landing from Eritrea, I saw a traffic light for the first time in nearly a year - and wasn't quite sure what to do! So I stood on the curb for a few sets of changes, finally got my courage up, and waited for a group to cross - and just hid among them! And another bit of culture shock... That same trip, because I'd been living in Addis and Asmara (both over 2500 meters above sea level), I was in great shape. I arrived back home (Montreal at the time) bounding up every staircase, wondering why everyone else was bothering with the elevator!
