The opposite of immersion

I'm not sure what the opposite of immersion is but Carol and I have been living it. We have had company for five of the last six weeks and it has been a blast but we have become separated from the Brazilian language and culture. Our immersion reversal happened gradually and then all at once. Slowly we stopped trying to talk to each other in Portuguese, watching Brazilian news and taking classes. To compensate, we started listening to music in English, eating dinner late and discussing American politics. And then all the sudden it seemed crazy that the lady in our phone was speaking in Portuguese and what the hell is wrong with the roads in this country anyway? We got dispersed, we got detached. Somehow, we removed ourselves from the language and the culture. Ironically, this happened while we were showing what we love about Brazil to people who had come for exactly that. We are getting back to in now though. We watched a Brazilian movie last night and have set some learning goals. I'm pretty sure we will get our heads back down underneath it soon enough.
