Fair Game - Culture shock

There’s all kinds of culture shock. There’s the type I experienced on childhood trips outside of the region and discovered that Sun Drop and tea with sugar already added in it aren’t standard outside of my familiar stomping grounds. There’s the type of culture shock I experienced moving to Burbank (the Hollywood-soundstage version of a quaint small town) for about a half a year or when I moved to Manila, Philippines for about five years.
