[QUOTE="MNblockhead, post: 9593630, member: 6796661"] That is a good morale and one I strongly take to heart. But an equally good morale is "when in Rome do as Romans do." I don't mean that in its original and most popular sense but that when traveling it can be enriching to try to get some experience living how the locales live. Or, if you are on a short holiday, at least trying to eat how they eat. I've always enjoyed working and living in other countries more than just quick holidays. Having enough time to go through the four stages of culture shock can lead to resiliency, open mindedness, patience, understanding, and developing new tastes and interests. The Four Stages of Culture Shock in the Land of Pineapple Pizza Eaters 1. Honeymoon Stage. Wow! It is amazing the abundance of tropical fruit available here. My homeland only has apples and berries. This place is so cool and exotic. 2. Frustration (Crisis) Stage. Ugh! They PUT PINEAPPLE ON THEIR PIZZA! God this place annoys me. I miss apple pie and a good pizza pie with proper salty meat toppings. 3. Adjustment Stage. Well, I suppose if you have so much pineapple and it is such an important part of your economy and culture, it makes sense they would find uses for it. I mean, I guess it is no weirder than how we put a slice of cheddar on top of a warmed up slice of apple pie in my homeland. Kinda silly to get so worked up about something as inconsequential as pineapple on pizza. 4. Acceptance (adaption) stage. Ya know, pineapple on pizza ain't so bad! (Optional: 5. Evangelist Stage. [After returning home from an extended stint in Pineapple Pizza land]. Hey guys, have you tried pineapple on your pizza? Really, give a try! [Begins a borderline insufferable sermon on his travels, his discovery of pineapple pizza, and how frustrating he is with how closed-minded everyone is in the land of Apple Pie and Beer-Cheese Soup].
