Culture Shock
“Adjusting to a new culture and way of life is both exciting and challenging – you will experience some highs and lows during your time abroad. During these times of difficulty, just remind yourself that these cultural differences are the reason we all love to travel – to experience the unknown! Remember it’s just a phase!
As you adjust to the routine of daily life, that initial sense of adventure will wear off. During this phase you may start to miss your friends and families. During this time, you may find it hard to keep a positive attitude. You may be tempted to withdraw from people around you or even become hostile. At this point it is helpful to know that for most people this phase doesn’t last too long.”
Challenge, Richmond Publishing
The fragment from the text, “As you adjust to the routine of daily life, that initial sense of adventure will wear off.” means that
people’s attitude get weakened ending the feeling of adventure.
all the initial sense of adventure makes people feel they can be stronger.
maintaining adventure sense to their routine is the best way they wear off or not excitement and happiness.
at this point to help or not people to wear off is the same to withdraw from them.
