MJ- It's funny, that people up here don't often think about being somewhere else- so they have no idea what I'm talking about when I mention the excess of "things" here. I realized it's taken me almost a year to accept being here in the first place and just recently decide it's 'OK', even if I don't have to turn on the pump to take a shower or dodge Mango spiders to get to the kitchen... it's still got it's charms..;)
Palmetto- Cute article, *LOL* "You live here?? you must love it!" It's always fun meeting the 'honeymooners' who think everyday must be paradise!
Michael- Exactly! That whole Red Sox vs. Yankee thing, it just dosen't phase me. But 'culture' is defined by so many factors...
The difference between living on the main island and Culebra is huge, and reading some posts here- I can see some main islanders have had their own form of culture shock in Culebra. But the worst form, is trying to 'inflict' your culture on to another... when new people move in and try to change the rhythm of things, or change the infrastructure to suit their own needs.. that's when you start to have problems. Having the patience to learn from the new culture you are in is so important.
