Schweizland?

All I can think right now is Switzerland. I am leaving ASIA in twenty hours and all I can think about is fondue, cows, and the Alps. I have been experiencing these "Swiss" moments at the oddest moments over the last two weeks. Someone or something will trigger a memory from my days at SIS, and my mind becomes hazy with "Swiss" thoughts.
Weird, huh?

I'm not sure why my mind is tripping out like this. Maybe it's my nerves and excitement about flying back to the States and encountering America again. Repatriating myself for a brief time. I remember my first time coming back from Mexico and feeling reverse culture shock for the first time. I remember coming back from Swizterland and in shock how flat everything looked. I have been I wonder what I feel like when I step back onto American soil after spending time in Asia.

I'm excited to go back. I get to see my mom and dad immediately. I hope to head to Taco Bell and Target with the first few hours. I am excited to go to karaoke with my midwest TCIS friends until we have to say goodbye. I want to take a walk with my parents, Wrigely, and take a big long rest on their leather couch until jetlag gets the better of me. I am excited to be home.
