Having trouble re-adjusting to life back home after spending time travelling?
Here's a few handy hints that should help you settle back in:
1) Replace your bed with two or more bunk beds, and every night invite
random people in to sleep there. This will make things seem more hostel
like, and will also boost your karma. Remove beds one by one as symptoms
improve.
2) Sleep in a different room each day, varying it by setting the air
conditioning either too hot or too cold. Sleep behind a pot plant for that
jungle effect. Cats also double as pumas with a little imagination.
3) Enlist help of a family member to set your radio alarm randomly to go off
at some time during the night, filling your room with loud talking. Works
best if you can find a radio station in Hebrew.
4) Slowly remove items of clothing etc from your backpack, until you are
completely using your wardrobe instead. Maybe only one item a day, but
remember its one step at a time kids, one step at a time.
5) Buy your favourite foodstuffs, and despite living at home, write your
name and when you might next be leaving the house on them.
6) Ask family member to every now or again steal one of the above
foodstuffs, preferably the one you've most been looking forward to, or the
most expensive.
7) Keep at least one item of food far too long or in a bag out in the sun,
so you have to spend at least 24 hours within sprinting distance of the
toilet.
8) Even if it's a Sunday, make sure you're out of the house by 10am, and
then stand on the corner looking lost. Ask first passer-by of similar ethnic
background if they've found anywhere good to go yet.
9) Once decided to possibly get a job, take a fully packed rucksack to work
with you every day. Although it's perfectly safe next to the coffee machine,
watch it like a hawk.
10) Buy your bus, train or order a taxi in a foreign language. The fact the
person behind the counter won't understand you simply adds to the
authenticity.
These simple but effective instructions should help you fall back into
normal society with the minimum of effort. Good luck!
