Not for me. I lived there 2 years, coming home for a short visit before starting my 2nd year. I had a bit of reverse culture shock. I remember marveling at how much wider streets in the US are, and a ton of other minor little things that I'd forgotten, or gotten used to the Japanese version, such as the different taste of milk. When you are over there for an extended length of time, that's when you'll really begin to feel it. A few weeks vacation isn't enough for it all to sink in, though you should still get the impression of being in a rather different foreign country. It is a modern country, though, so you'll still find all the modern amenities and such... is that what you meant?
