Ummm... my first real feeling of culture shock happend while I was in Spain. It wasn't from the cutlure of Spain, but looking back and comparing life to Egypt really overwhelmed me. I was freaking out for a good 3 days. My friend Michelle and I flew to Barcelona and stayed with some of my highschool friends, Naomi and Jason. They welcomed us with open arms, let us stay at their house, showed us around town, and let us enjoy their company. We stayed for about a week, and spent most of our days wandering the beautiful streets, drinking cafe con leche, admiring the architecture and colors of the buildings, "practicing" our spanish, and people watching. It was overly refreshing seeing a bright culture and laid back outlooks on life.
