<\/p>\nI\u2019ve been home from China for nearly three weeks now. While it hasn\u2019t hit me that I\u2019m not going back to China any time soon yet, there\u2019s one thing that both countries have in common. Adjusting to each place can be difficult.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
There\u2019s a twelve-hour difference between Michigan and China. No matter which country I go to, I have at least two weeks to adjust to time zones.<\/p>\n
For both countries, this means I\u2019m in bed insanely early and waking up earlier. If I\u2019m not careful, I look like a zombie for about a week while I adjust.<\/p>\n
This means I\u2019ve got to be careful about sitting down anywhere cause at any time, I could fall asleep. The only time I\u2019m okay to be sitting down is when I\u2019m eating. I\u2019ve never been so tired that I\u2019ve fallen asleep while eating. Not yet.<\/p>\n
It makes me want to be lazy in my first week I\u2019m in any country. It\u2019s hard to want to do anything when you never know when you\u2019re going to crash.<\/p>\n
Two countries. Two appetites. Two food cultures. Everything from adjusting to table manners to different kinds of food, I have to re-adjust when I go to both countries.<\/p>\n
In America, a lot of the food feels heavy after I eat it, I tend to have a lot of stomachaches after a meal. I\u2019m not sure if it\u2019s what\u2019s being put in the food or the fact there\u2019s way more dairy in the diet than what\u2019s in China. I can taste the sugar with almost every piece of food or drink I consume.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
