Culture shock

Many people dream       leaving in a foreign country. It can be an amazing experience for those who      the courage to leave their family and friends and settle      in a new place. However, there’s one potential problem you should be aware of: culture shock. Culture shock is the feeling we get from living in a place that is so different to where we      up that we are not sure how to deal with it. Societies are organised in many different ways, and we can often be       aback by some of the things we find in foreign countries. Customs and traditions can be very different and that can sometimes make it difficult to     on with local people and to      friends. They might not approve    things you do or might object    things you say. You might even be banned      doing things in another country that are perfectly legal in your own.    you were to move to a country such as Singapore, say, you might find some of the laws very strict. There, people can be forced    pay a large fine just for dropping litter. Eventually, though, most people who live abroad      in love with their adopted country and learn to accept its differences. It does         real courage to make such a big change to your life, but many people agree      it is worth it in the end.
