It really does take the shock of something new to make the routine come into place, almost like being tossed in a cold pool on a hot and humid day. That sun doesn't feel so bad after an ice-water bath. The stress of travel, battling jet lag and culture shock, overcoming all of this, helps me break through to a better, different place.
And I can really appreciate the Type-A, hyper-driven American personality when I get somewhere else. in the business world it made sense but I'm on fucking vacation for god's sake. The idea is to mi a little sightseeing with a little hanging out, not to drive myself into the ground trying to absorb every last slice and sliver of everything, especially when the main tourist sites are crowded and underwhelming.
