When you first arrive in a foreign culture, often your first reaction is completely positive. Everything seems exciting, different and fascinating. It’s an adventure. If you’re just on a short holiday, you’ll probably never leave this phase, but if you stay longer, your attitude can start to change.

As you start realize how little you really understand the new culture, life can get frustrating. People misunderstand what you’re trying to say, or they may laugh at you for saying something incorrectly. Even simple things, like posting a letter, can seem impossibly difficult, and you are likely to overreact by getting angry or upset when things go wrong.

With time, though, you start to adjust, to become more comfortable with the differences and better able to handle frustrating situations. Your sense of humour reappears. Finally, you reach the stage of feeling able to be enthusiastic about the culture once again, enjoy living in it, and maybe even prefer certain aspects of the culture to your own.
