Young Americans who leave their great big homogeneous country and visit some other part of the world typically go through several stages of culture shock: first, dumb wide-eyed astonishment. Then a tentative engagement with the new country's manners, cuisine, public transit systems and toilets, leading to a brief period of fatuous confidence that they are instant experts on the new country. As the visit wears on, homesickness begins to set in, and the traveler begins to appreciate, for the first time, how much he or she took for granted at home. At the same time it begins to seem obvious that many of one's own cultures and traditions are essentially arbitrary, and could have been different; driving on the right side of the road, for example. When the traveler returns home and takes stock of the experience, he or she may have learned a good deal more about America than about the country they went to visit.
bryan yu on 01 Oct 09Today, I'm quite busy with looking for a way to install ATI vga driver in openSUSE 11.1 X86_64 correctly that was because something wrong with my machine. When I restart my system after install driver it just goes to black screen. The only way that I can login my system from another machine through ssh protocol. Actually I have never encountered this issue before so i have spent this much time trying to figure it out.
