I think I did experience culture shock. When I first arrived in Boston, I was basically told to go home. Homeboy is what they called me - very funny. I didn't take offense.

But I think that sometimes, when one's behaved like a rather second-rate person, the way I did at breakfast, then in a kind of self-destructive shock one goes and does something really second-rate. Almost as if to prove it.
