Reverse Cultural Adaptation

I think stress leads to reverse cultural adaptation. I have definitely regressed.

A few weeks ago I munched on a candy bar while walking in public (granted it was at the airport, where I feel some degree of cultural immunity).

A few days later I browsed the grocery store while carrying my naked umbrella. It was not inserted in the handy-dandy umbrella bag offered at the front door.

Shh! Don't tell the cultural police.
