Culture begins with the “honeymoon stage”. This is the period of time when we first arrive in which everything about the new culture is trance and exciting. We may be suffering from “jet lag” but we are thrilled to be in the new environment, seeing new sights, hearing new sounds and language, eating new kinds of food. This honeymoon stage can last for quite a long time because we feel are involved in some kind of great adventure. Unfortunately, the second stage of culture shock can be more difficult.
