To get a culture shock is a kind of self-defence. Reasons: Loss of friends, family and known surroundings etc. Stress from never really knowing what to expect from these "unknown" people. Conflicts between old and new values inside of you. Symptoms: tiredness, homesickness, comparing, anger, negative adjectives, isolation, feeling bored. do? First of all, you have to be conscious about the phenomenon: culture shock and that it is about you not having got the culture under your skin yet - it is unlikely that there is something wrong with the whole host-nation. You can for instance do the following
    • Write a diary
    • Give things a chance
    • Be open towards the possibility of changing your present opinion.
    • Talk to someone you trust
    • REMEMBER, it's not going to last forever.
    Everyone gets through it and most people end up enjoying and caring about their new host country. Whether you believe this or not. Maybe you do not agree with all the rules, but that doesn't mean that you cannot play along and enjoy it at the same time; Have a nice praject. It will be a time that you will never forget...

    Find a video on you tube about a tradition from your country that might be shocking for other cultures and add it on your padlet
