Acronym for Reverse
Culture Shock, the experience of feeling
discomfort and
confusion upon returning to your
home after an extended trip elsewhere.
The better adapted you become to the differences that cause culture shock when you arrive in your new home, the more you will probably be affected by RCS upon your return. This is not, however, cause for alarm. If your perspective hasn't changed enough for some familiar customs to appear at least interesting, go travel some more!
