replying to @StevenOnTheMove @StevenOnTheMove Yeah it happens in India. So many different states with different languages cuisines religions culture. It's like several countries combined to one. Lol #ttot

#ttot A3: I have returned home before because I couldn't cope with being in a particular country, though there were external (well, mental issues, so maybe you'd call them 'internal'?!) factors at play as well as the culture shock.

replying to @SonjaSwissLife @SonjaSwissLife @iamvagabond A3: Other than Japan. Probably Naples, Italy in the 90s. It was before Easyjet flew there, and it was a pretty confronting city. Scooter thieves, the Camorra, and just a sensory overload. I bloody loved it though! ;-) #TTOT

replying to @wheresshellyii @wheresshellyii @iamvagabond A3. It's probably not the best topic to discuss, but honestly, the biggest culture shock I have experienced was in Greek toilets. They do not flush the toilet paper. #TTOT.

Open mind. Generous disposition. Willingness to learn. Ditch the judgmental attitude. Know for sure you're no better (or worse) than anybody else. When all else fails, call it 'culture adventure tourism' #TTOT A4
