Culture Shock

Culture shock is the feeling of disorientation experienced by someone who is suddenly subjected to an unfamiliar culture, way of life, or set of attitudes.  At the teacher fair in February one of the administrators we interviewed with from another country suggested that after we signed with a school that we do a little research on culture shock.  We were surprised to see that there was so much information on the subject.  We're excited and anxious to fully experience an entirely new culture.  Click here to see all of our posts regarding our culturally shocking experiences.
