Comments on: Sunny Sunday in Mallorca http://www.4kconsulting.com/pictoncastle/2008/11/sunny-sunday-in-mallorca/ A log of my passage on the tall ship Picton Castle Nov. 2008 to May 2009 Mon, 06 Feb 2012 04:28:28 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.6.2 By: Leslie http://www.4kconsulting.com/pictoncastle/2008/11/sunny-sunday-in-mallorca/#comment-15 Leslie Mon, 17 Nov 2008 01:57:36 +0000 http://www.4kconsulting.com/pictoncastle/?p=87#comment-15 Cognitive dissonance is how Bujold described it. I felt the same way, when I was walking past a guy selling live chickens out of crates, in order to get to an internet cafe, in Luxor. And being confronted with a very old-style toilet in an older part of up-to-the-minute Taipei. You expect things to be different; when they are almost, but not quite, like the things at home, it creates a weird feeling. Bon voyage. Cognitive dissonance is how Bujold described it.
