Good one, Andy! I've used the words "culture shock" before, but hearing your perspective on "cultural fatigue" has given me some new insights. Thanks!

Shock is normally a week or two, but fatigue is the daily grind. What is a no-brainer, like walking on the sidwalk, like standing in line, become something that requires thought. Fatigue causes frustration anger, not a good type of anger.
