[QUOTE="TMcA, post: 783477, member: 3231"] I think you may have a little bit of culture shock affecting you. [LIST] [*]High expectations for this route based on your experience on the CF [*]Linguistic isolation [*]Local customs/way of doing things that displease you - shop closures on Sundays and Mondays and"need"/advisability of reserving lodging ahead of time [*]Other hikers questioning about or discussing kms/day [/LIST] Culture shock is not rare. It happens to almost everybody who winds up in a foreign place for a period of time, especially if one is isolated by language. I am not an expert on this, but I have felt it. And it can easily lead to more irritation and more frustration if you don't begin to realize what is getting to you, what is bumming you out, and even what is depressing you. My message is intended to be non-judgmental and is conveyed to make you understand that what has been happening to you and around you is almost universal. And sometimes the best way to tackle this is to discuss it...maybe with a fellow hiker who speaks English and just might be experiencing a little of the same. [/QUOTE]
