I'm just pointing out the culture shock. It really doesn't take long. I remember vividly having more culture shock entering California after being gone for a few years, then I did when i was stationed overseas. You leave home, and in your mind it stays a certain way - how you left it. Lots of things can happen in the time space of a few years. Roads, industry, traffic, fashions, trends. Now that's just a few years, imagine nearly 3 decades of being gone. You'd be a stranger in a strange land, regardless if it was the land of your birth or not.
