culture shock

Culture shock is the personal confusing and many feel unfamiliar due immigration or a visit a new country, a move between social environments, or simply travel to another type of life. Some of the most common causes of culture shock in a foreign country is; Honeymoon, emptiness, acceptance.

Honeymoon; during this period, the differences between the old and new culture are seen in a romantic way. For example, in moving to a new country, usually might love the new food and the locals' habits. During the first few weeks, most people are happy by the new culture. Like most honeymoon periods, this stage eventually ends.

Emptiness; After some time usually around three or four months, differences between the old and new culture become very clear and may create anxiety. Language, stark differences in public hygiene, traffic safety, food accessibility and quality of life, now a day I am exactly in this situation and always I compare my situation in may own  country and Canada.

Acceptance; slow by slow people are beginning to accept the situation of themselves, I think acceptance of the new culture is not so easy for me.
