Default Culture shock....

I never thought i would say this but im absolutely knocked for six at the moment. I have travelled on and off over the past six years, and have lived in Saigon for the past two BUT.....coming back to England has sent me reeling. Im not sure if its the people, driving again, the food, or the price of everything but fook me im confused at the moment. Anyone else had this problem?
