The Four Phases of Culture Shock
It is generally held that culture shock affects people in a variety of ways, and that there are different stages of adaptation to a new environment. Let’s look at the four stages that are often talked about.

1. The Honeymoon phase
 Differences are seen in a romantic light.
 You tend to see everything through ‘rose tinted glasses’.
 It’s fun to identify differences between your culture and the new culture.
 It can be possible to make friends based on the shared joy of experiencing someone from another culture.
 It’s probably the experience most of us have as tourists in the new place. In fact, as tourists we manage to avoid or overlook the challenges of existing in a new culture, as it’s all part of the fun of a holiday experience.

2. The Negotiation Phase
 Here the differences between you and the host culture become obvious and problematic. This could result in frustration, anger, loneliness and homesickness. Unfavourable things make you feel like the host culture is strange and offensive. This is usually brought on by a bad experience that brings you back down to earth, such as a break up. At this point the culture can seem weird, different, stupid, or confusing. 

3. The Adjustment Phase
 This is when you manage to develop an effective working routine in the new place. You develop your own problem solving skills and strategies for getting by in the new country. 

4. The Mastery Stage
 This is when you are able to operate in the culture without any problems at all. In fact, you’ve become completely naturalised while also maintaining your original culture too.
