reflections on going back home and to one which is alien to what you're used to. I could relate to some things and was interesting to see the experience being written down. Every chapter is a short impression on one or the other aspect. I found these impressions quite effective, despite or due to their simplicity. The pictures where interesting, but I felt they were a bit lacking and not really contributing much to the storytelling, but just there. I also felt the rhetoric to be, at times, a bit semplicistic or naive. Overall a nice read, though not ambitious.
