The culture shock is defined as the feeling of disorientation, insecurity and anxiety. People moving to a new country need to facing numerous new things,such as,new language ,new food.And it takes time to adapt to new surroundings,and new culture.
I have been UK almost a mouth,it experienced many new things.Uk culture has a huge difference with china,for example, food is totally different . In china, we prefer to eat rice with fired meals. But in Uk, hamburger and chips are common food in everywhere. In the fist week, i ate sandwich for lunch,it was a bad experience for eating same food whole week. After that, I began to cook by myself,but the break time is not enough,so I changed to eat Italy pasta. And I find out pasta is a convenient and delicious food,gradually I began to adapt my new life styles. Maybe this is a good example that how I can handled parts of cultural shock.
However, there are more culture shocks I may faced it. Such as the local cultural,and the communication skills.so I will try to practice English with others and know the local cultural through join local festival and travel around.To adapt a foreign culture is not that easy, but it is a good chance to learn different life experience.
