Reverse Culture Shock

Reverse Culture Shock: you’ve lived abroad for years and finally you return "home".
But! They are all speaking a language you don’t understand! They are obsessed with TV programs, politicians, shopping and sports stars you’ve only vaguely heard of.
Where is "home".

Foreign correspondent Colin Joyce, who spent years in Japan and New York, writes about coming home to the UK.
He lets his mind wander nicely though: from thoughts about tea and beer, through football and onto George Orwell and cricket. It’s a personal mix, and good for it.
I’ve lived abroad now for 17 years too and I remember my befuddlement as friends on a Xmas-visit back gathered round to watch a noisy comedy show called Absolutely Fabulous.
It’s a book for ex-pats and anyone who is interested in the minutae of British life.
Best read with a nice cuppa and a slice of cake.
