Culture Shock?

I signed up for a seminar in June at ISB regarding transition for families moving back to the US. I want to make the transition to the US as smooth as possible for the girls (and myself!).

I experienced my first "culture shock" this week. I called the US to sign up Elisabeth and Kate for summer camps. Just talking on the phone with an attendant at one of the camps was stressful. American English, American schedules, American web site sign-up, etc. I think I must be experiencing culture shock.

Let's hope the girls have an easier time switching gears (and continents!).
