Reverse Culture Shock

So I'm back in the US for a few days because last night my sister graduated from high school and I wanted to be here to see it. There are a lot of crazy things about the US that I can't handle. Here is my list:

1. Everything is in English. Everyone speaks English. Usually when I hear someone speaking English, I do a double take because I'm so surprised to hear it. Yesterday I did about a dozen double takes all day.
2. Yesterday I went out to breakfast with my best friend. The service at the restaurant was amazing! The waitress was super nice and asked me if I wanted more ice in the FREE water I got with my meal.
3. My sister's graduation was moved to the gym because of rain. We got there before the doors opened. The people had formed a neat and orderly line and NO ONE pushed!
   
4. I bought something that cost $1. I went into my coin purse to pull out a $1 coin but we don't have them here (well not really anyway). The cashier rang it up and it cost $1.05. I had completely forgotten about sales tax.
5. My dog either forgot who I was, or was more excited for the treat my dad was holding and didn't care that I had come home.
6. My sister actually gave me a hug at the airport.
7. I sneezed at the post office and the woman behind me said, "Bless you."
   
8. Random people struck up conversation with me while waiting for my luggage/in stores
9. My American cell phone is crazy. It took me 20 minutes to remember how to text again, and I still feel guilty with every message I send, even though I know it's free. In Germany it costs me .19 per message. I also haven't grasped the idea that I can just call whoever I want and it won't cost me money. Thirdly, I keep forgetting that incoming calls and text messages are not free like they are in Germany.
10. I can taste the artificial coloring and flavoring in everything! Including the orange juice I had for breakfast this morning.
11. I actually WALKED to the post office yesterday. I have never walked to the post office in my entire life. I'm so used to walking everywhere that it seemed like the normal thing to do.
    
12. No crazy disgusting PDA anywhere in America. That is definitely something I could get used to.

I miss Germany, but I am remembering the things that I loved about America at the same time. I'm only getting a taste of it now, I'm headed back to Germany on Monday and won't be back in the United States until August 20.
