There are many stages of cultural shock:

At first, when I first arrived in a new environment, everything was fresh and full of freshness. At this time, the spirit is cheerful, and this is your honeymoon with the new environment. Unfortunately, the good times did not last long. Just before you fully enjoyed the wedding, your honeymoon was broken by many trivial things in life.

At first, it was probably the language barrier. Even if you have a good language training, for example, your report card in school English class has always been your pride, but this time you are surrounded by a mouth full of cockney accent, and you may not understand many places;

Or you like this cockney accent very much, or there will be endless problems waiting for you: for example, you don't know how to open a bank account and can't use an ATM; When you go to a restaurant, you don't know how to order, the food you ordered is not suitable, and you don't know how much to tip when you check out.

What makes you most anxious is that you don't know where the toilet is when you are in a hurry, but when you finally find the toilet, you just can't recognize the "male" and "female" in the local dialect ... and so on, which makes you miss your hometown and gradually beautify your distant hometown into Mr. Tao Yuanming's peach blossom garden.

You even begin to wonder why you want to "leave your hometown and wander around the world". What you want to do most may be to buy a plane ticket and fly back to the Peach Blossom Garden in your hometown immediately.

Later, after a long period of shock, you began to adapt to the new environment slowly. The previous shock and a lot of novelty evolved into "familiarity" and eventually became "ignorance". You may finally come out of a round of cultural shock, and you haven't run away, but you must not let your guard down. There may be a new round of impact coming at you.
