Not too much...a lot of what I read was accurate
Yes... definitely the honeymoon phase, irritation state, adjustment phase. Still going through these off and on.
Homesickness is the only one of these I can attribute to culture shock. Missing familiar things and people who know me. Anger I experienced was somewhat culture shock in that banking is not practiced the same way as my home country.
I appreciate the beauty of this country and the family/friends value
Contradiction of desire to advance their society into a more modern model but not being open to modern culture.
Can't say that I have yet...I'm sure I will
Relax when entering a new culture and don't bring expectations that everything will work the way you are used to. Be open to trying new things... leave your personal "baggage" at home...I've coined a new phrase since living abroad based on my experience and watching those around me adjust..."is it new or is it you!"
