Many people have the erroneous assumption that you need to travel outside your country to become a victim of culture shock. It has happened to me many times right here in Kenya, especially in instances when I have interacted with people of different races.
My first memorable experience was in the early 1980s when I struck up a friendship with an American expatriate, Wade Huie who worked for some years as a reporter with a local daily and also wrote the script for the movie Rise and Fall of Idi Amin.
