A young woman moves abroad to discover that cultural differences lay in the mundanity of life.
How would you feel if you found yourself in a country where everything seemed the same, but only the language was different? Follow along with Mareike Korn’s adventures as she finds herself in a town not so different from her own, but slowly discovers that many cultural differences lay in detail, which she chronicles in her bullet journal.
The book is partially written in an epistolary style to bring out her experience through weekly recaps, which resemble a travel journal.
Description
Say What Now?
Normally, Mareike Korn would find a lengthy visit to a foreign land thrilling. Making the trip when she’s twenty-six weeks pregnant is another matter. But when her husband’s job is temporarily relocated to the USA, keeping her family together in the late stages of her pregnancy becomes more important than being a stranger in a new place.
To keep herself sane through the ups and downs of her adventure, Mareike chronicles her experience in her bullet journal. The panic of impending parenthood. Awkward faux pas in a new culture. Getting lost on practically every outing. Whether good, bad, or hilarious, Mareike jots it down for posterity.
When the experience ends, will looking back allow her to see the beauty of the customs and traditions she uncovered in the mundanity of daily life? Or will nostalgia for all she’s been missing prove there truly is no place like home?
