When I was in Arabia Saudyjska for me big shock was the praying people on the street always when the bell give then signal to praying.

It is just something that some people feel because of their anxiety and fear of the unknown. In my opinion the best way to deal with it is just to try to keep thinking positively and optimistically.

I haven't experienced culture shock in foreign country, but I often experience it when I go out. I feel like a researcher who studies culture of primitive tribes when I observe people who don't clean up after theirs dogs or take bread in market with theirs bare hands. I'm amazed by lack of culture of some young people. I'm astonished by ignorance of students. It makes me really confused. Because of this people language and their customs I don't know what to do. I think that it can be called culture shock ;)PawełChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02965830266187126422noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5910224929239899916.post-50996823578551832010-05-17T21:36:16.310+02:002010-05-17T21:36:16.310+02:00I think that every culture shock is natural and ne...I think that every culture shock is natural and necessary.

In today's world, culture shock is rather rare, because anyone can learn a foreign culture, such as the Internet or the provided travel guide. Certainly some things in a different culture can surprise or frighten man but you can prepare for it. However, sometimes you will need to learn certain behaviors, which may seem inconsistent with ours, to go native with a foreign society.Karolinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09114474329563604739noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5910224929239899916.post-35906573143495792882010-05-17T19:01:22.652+02:002010-05-17T19:01:22.652+02:00Evrytime when I come back from home to Warsaw I...Evrytime when I come back from home to Warsaw I'm experiencing culture shock.It's just hard for me get used to the city, especially when I stay at home longer than one week.

To be honest, it was an interresting experience. You look at those poeple's everyday life and you it seems unbelivable, it's just so different from what you know.

If you do not accept foreign culture you should not complain on it. If you are forced to live abroad you have to accept their customs because you are guest.
