Culture Shock

click here

When people travel or study in other countries, they have confused, surprised, and offended feelings because of the culture shock. First, eating styles cause the culture shock. For example, people have different tastes of food and cooking style; moreover, people in UK usually eat junk food, like pizza, sandwiches etc. As a result, international students should eat a lot of fresh fruit and vegetables. A second cause of the culture shock may be language. Learning a new language is tiring for people. For example, people will miss their mother tongue when they learn the second language. In addition, English pronunciation in the UK and other countries’ pronunciation differ; therefore, people found difficult to understand and disconcerted to ask them to say again what they have said. Finally, native behaviors cause the culture shock. Every country has their native behavior that is unspoken rules. For example, it is important that people in the UK should attend meetings on time, such as business meetings, academic lectures. If you will be late to attend meetings, you must tell your partner. Furthermore, making an appointment to watch movie at 8pm means arriving at 8pm; however, to visit other people’s home people should be late 10 minutes but not over 20 minutes. To sum up, if people pay attention to the culture, they won’t feel confused, surprised and offended.

Moving Home

Today, I helped my friend to move her home. She immigrated to Canada, and her family bought a house, so today I went to her home and move her home. She has much stuff. We droved the car to carry her stuff 4 times. At last time, we ride her bikes to go to her new home. I like to ride the bike because I always ride the bike to go to school in my hometown. China is a big riding bike country and many people like to ride the bike to go to anywhere. On the dinner, we ate sushi and BBQ chicken wing in her old home. When I arrived at my home, I feel very tired. Today is an interesting day.

Disneyland

On 14 Feb, 2007, I went to Hong Kong with a travel agent because I wanted to go to the Disneyland. When I was a child, I had a dream that I would go to the Disneyland in the future. However, all of the Disneylands were build abroad, and I didn't have the Visa to travel the other countries. When the Disneyland was build at Hong Kong, I was very happy. It was so easy to go to the Disneyland. The Disneyland in Hong Kong is the smallest one in the all of world. I took many pictures with the cartoon characters. I also bought many gifts for my friends, which all things had a logo of Mickey Mouse. I saw a Disneyland celebrity parade, I saw all of cartoon characters, and I made a video for this parade. When the sky was dark, the fireworks began in Disneyland. I hadn't seen so beautiful firework before I went to the Disneyland. I was so surprised. The fireworks showed many cartoon characters' faces. I like Disneyland, and I want to travel other Disneylands in USA. This travel brought a wonderful experience for me.
